    I usually have to use foam ear tips to get the fit just right. I use the Beats Fit Pro right now and might try these new AirPods Pro. Thanks for your early thoughts, David!

  2. TopTech

    airpods normal pro were already good, but these seem even better

  3. Stefano P

    Identical to the last one but cost 100€ more. Apple is all marketing these days. Just buy the old one and you're good. Moreover if you buy Apple products just to look cool (90% of Apple clientele) you can buy the 1st version of AirPods pro and nobody can tell you don't have the last one because the design is the same. Huge pass

    Don't know why they aren't offering colours. Space Grey would blend better with most skin tones.

    Would be cool if Apple used the same colors for airpods as they do with iphones. Regular AirPods would have same colors as regular iPhone 14 and Pro same as 14 Pro. Gold, Purple or Space Grey AirPods Pro would look better than just white.

  6. So you had to share these headphones with all the other onlookers that’s nasty lol

  7. Chuxx 😎

    The lack of lossless transmission, is a big disappointment. The original pro is pretty good, I can’t imagine this second generation being so much better, to require me upgrading?

  8. Joey Blaze

    My opinion is if you already have original airpods pro doesn't make sense to upgrade to these I would only recommend buying these if you don't have any airpods at all

  9. Nicolò Salemi

    Do AirPods work with apps like ESOUND Or do they only work with Apple Music and Spotify?

  10. MS

    This video was better informative then apple event video !

  11. Guda Lawrence

    Wonder at what point apple will start making them in different colors

  12. S.A

    Just bought the air pods pro 1 would get these after 2 years

  13. Zest

    i just need to know if it has a lot more bass because the bass on airpods pro is so weak and far away compared to the original pair

  14. Gee Vee

    My current 1st gen airpods last me about an 1 hour now. Might be time to upgrade

  15. Jonathan Maes

    The Personal Spatial Audio isn't new, I've got it with my first gen AirPods Pro and I got it a few months ago with an update in the iOS 16 beta.

  16. Mark Holle

    I always have appreciated David's take on all brands of earbuds. APP2 will be an easy buy for me since I use the originals on a daily basis. I am okay with incremental improvements that in total shoud result in a better experience.

    3:35 I just wanted to point out that people with small ears don't necessarily have small ear canals

    So glad. As a Geek Squad agent, I am happy to see they upped the battery life, and may be working on the processor/firmware issues of the previous generation that most often seemed to be tied to the noise-cancellation and transparency modes. My hope is the speaker and finder abilities make for less lost item issues for people.

    I would have also loved to see some foam ear tips.

  19. SAN 🏝

    This is the worst upgrade of any earphones I’ve seen in a while. 3 years and only 1 and a half hours of extra battery time plus no other new features. Touch control has been there for ages for other earphones.

  20. I wonder if the Microphone will filter out more noise when on the phone, I notice my AirPods were picking up all sorts of noise when I was on conference calls

  21. Micah Grauel

    Lossless can not be transmitted over the air. Also, if anyone wants some real sound in their earbuds, I would recommend the Technics AZ40. I have them, and the sound is incredible. They have an accurate sound, but when a track calls for bass, it's deep, rich, and clean. They are $140 in the U.S.

  22. Zainal Smith

    Lossless over wireless! That will be the biggest question. Other features just an improvement from the previous series

  23. Dan Shay

    Wil it stream the lossless quality with the new h2 chip?

  24. Thuggish

    I had 3 pairs of airpods pro and they all had this issue while moving my head this sound coming from one of them i did some research and i guess was something related with the mic really hate it on my frustration one day i smash it with the floor and broke it i just hope this new airpods don’t have that issue
