Apple AirPods Pro 2 Wireless Earbuds, Active Noise Cancellation, Hearing Aid Feature, Bluetooth Headphones, Transparency, Personalized Spatial Audio, High-Fidelity Sound, H2 Chip, USB-C Charging

I’ve tried several hearing aid substitutes over the years, my past favorite being the now unavailable Bose Hearphones and costing $500. Rather than just a sound amplifier, these had several functions allowing you to filter and focus sounds in various ways and for various situations. They were pretty good.But now Apple has added some great features to their AirPods 2—features that function like far more expensive hearing aids and at less than half the price of the Bose product. I’ve owned these for a month or so and am now just getting the hang of how to use them. If there is a downside to these earbuds it is the rather deep and confusing tech included in them (or, at least confusing for a grandfatherly type like me). Once they are Bluetooth connected to your iPhone (They connect very easily with the button on the front of the EarPod’s charging case.) they should automatically connect every time you put them in your ears. You will then be able to access all the functions by tapping the “settings” app on your phone. You will find a heading near the top of the list just below the box with your name and iCloud options. Tapping on this will allow you to drill down through several pages of options. There are a lot of options there and it can be confusing, but experimenting with the various functions will help you figure out their purpose.The key here is to drill down to find the hearing test. This will quickly test for hearing loss by leading you through a series of tones of varying in pitch and volume. The end result will be an audiogram that can be used to program your EarPods as hearing aids. As stated before, it took me several weeks to find and activate this feature, but when I did a whole new experience dawned. Just be patient and search around for this function. It works very well.Of course, these things also serve as EarPods to listen to music or podcasts. (May I recommend “Pat Gray Unleashed!” if your bent is conservative commentary and just plain fooling around). The quality of sound is phenomenal and the buds are more comfortable than most to keep in your ears for an extended time. To control the volume for this function you can TRY to use the external control buttons located on those silly looking stems that hang out of your ears (good luck) OR just open the “Control Center” page (slide one finger upward on your iPhone screen to access this page) where you’ll find the volume slider. If your EarPods are connected and in your ears you’ll see the slider is marked as controlling the AirPods.I really like these things now that I’m a little more familiar with them. The quality and value are exquisite. If I discover more, I’ll edit this comment.4 MONTHS LATER: Apple has improved the controls for these in their latest iOS update. The functions I had to dig around to find are now more easily accessed. Getting to the hearing test is now fairly straight forward.

Great earbuds on Prime days special pricing! I've been avoiding the purchase of new earbuds because I have a difficult time getting them to stay in my ears. After reading lots of reviews, I decided to try the Apple AirPods Pro2. They're great!! They came with multiple interchangable sizes of silicone tips and the XS fits in my ears, and stays in! The sound quality if outstanding. Connectivity with the Apple Watch was easy and reliable. Changing is simple and works great with the Apple watch charger that I already had. I charge these during the day after a daily walk and my watch at night. Overall, a solid set of Earbuds for a casual daily user.

I held off on buying the AirPods Pro for a while, but now I wish I’d gotten them sooner. The noise cancellation is incredible — it truly blocks out the world when I need to focus or relax. The sound quality is crisp, with just the right amount of bass, and the transparency mode is surprisingly natural when I want to stay aware of my surroundings.They fit comfortably in my ears (even during long walks or workouts), and the customizable ear tips are a huge plus. I love how seamlessly they connect to all my Apple devices — switching between my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook is effortless.The case is compact and charges super fast. Battery life is solid, and I’ve never had them die on me mid-use. Whether I’m listening to music, taking calls, or watching shows, these AirPods have been flawless.Hands down one of the best tech purchases I’ve made. If you’re on the fence — go for it. You won’t regret it!

The Apple AirPods, Pro 2 have been a fantastic addition to my Apple set up. The sound quality is excellent – Rich, clear, and immersive – though in my opinion, not quite on the level of Bose. Still, the overall experience makes up for that.The noise cancellation is very impressive and blocks out background noise better than I initially expected. I also appreciate the hearing test feature; while it’s not a replacement for a professional exam, it’s a nice bonus that helps personalize the audio. The extra silicone air tips are great for ensuring a good fit for different ear shapes, and for me, the preinstalled tips fit perfectly and stay comfortable, even for long periods.Wireless charging is a big plus for the case and the find my integration is incredibly helpful. Being able to play a sound from the case makes it much easier to locate if I misplace it. The small, thoughtful touches really add to the convenience.Yes, they are on the pricey side, but if you’re already using Apple devices, the seamless integration and features make them well worth the investment. However, if you’re not in the Apple ecosystem, you may be a better off, considering other brands that offer brought our compatibility.Overall, five stars for me for comfort, features, and performance – especially for Apple users.

I’ve been using the AirPods Pro 2 for a while now, and they are the best pods to date. I've had airpods and airpod pros from the first gen up until this latest version. The fit is comfortable after selecting the proper silicone tips (xs, s, m, l included) and stays snug, even during workouts. The sound quality is noticeably better than the first gen - greater clarity, nice bass response, and the noise cancellation is surprisingly good. The microphone for calls is clear an I have had no complaints from anyone while using them. Transparency mode feels natural too.Battery life is solid and pairing with Apple devices is still seamless (classic Apple magic - H2 chip).They are definitely on the pricey side, and if you’re not in the Apple ecosystem, you might miss out on some of the best features. But overall? Totally worth it if you want high-quality, stylish, easy-to-use earbuds.
