So on Wednesday of this week I made a very last minute out of the blue buy of some AirPods Pro's.

Now I was thinking to myself would i regret this etc, but it was £50 off the normal retail price off Amazon so its not so bad.

I just want to know if anyone else has opinions on AirPods Pro's or AirPods in general? As i won't lie, with the quality and the sound of these Pro's, i dont think i can go back to normal headphones without them sounding bad :D

Opinions anyone?

I have AirPods Pro.
My favorite feature is being able to decide if I want noise cancellation or noise transparency... not saying much since there are other headphones on the market with the same feature.
Was it worth what I paid? Probably could have found cheaper headphones that were somewhat comparable... but I don't regret buying them, and I like them.
When they announced the AirPods Max I was excited, but I don't think I could switch to a different style after being used to the in ear style.

See I'm exactly the same. I had the 1st Gen AirPods as well and i just couldn't get along with them as they were solid ear ones. I do like the buds a lot more as they are so much more comfier.
I'm glad you like them as much as i do as i thought to myself, like am i just weird for liking them the amount that i do.

I have both gen's of airpods I couldn't live without them. I kept the older ones as I use them in work. They are ruined. The case is completely stained blue from god knows what probably the colour of my work jeans.
I can't use the in ear ones as they won't sit in my ear at all.

I absolutely love the Pro's. Can't believe i never bit the bullet before to buy them.

I mean I love Android and Samsung as well. But now i have my Apple Watch and AirPods, i don't think i can ever go back. I adore my watch. Just so useful for my job etc...

are they the kidney bean looking ones that sit genuine in your entire ear hole? My partner uses them ones and they seem alright. Good quality but I have many a piercing so wouldn’t sit right in my ear. My AirPods barely stay in.

I have Samsung buds but I don't love the silicone tip thing it never feels like it fits properly. I've tried AirPods and they felt so much comfier.

Yeah they are.

I never likes the ipod headphones because they looked like tampons. Id rather the kidneybeans anyday.

But i have heard amazing things about them. Im just way to invested in samsung to switch over. Even tho the apple watch is miles better than the aw

I don't personally like anything that sits IN my ear it's so weird and feels like it's gonna fall out constantly, need the security of proper cushioned headphones :P got some lovely Sennheisers that I hardly use these days (just use my main speaker at home, I don't GO anywhere yuck) which have a really good bass boost if I ever need it

I got airpods for the first time a couple weeks ago, they came free with my new phone. I've got the 2nd gen of the normal ones with the long poley bit

I loveeeee them! I don't use headphones THAT often but it's so useful when doing stuff in the garden (safer as I don't carry my phone in my pocket and it keep falling out!!), on meetings so I can walk around house but still hear and generally just be more flexible out and about. Also they don't get tangled up with a facemask!

I've only ever used Apple headphones even before I had an iPhone, they're literally the only style that are comfortable, good quality, and stay in my ear (I hate the proper in ear ones).

Literally cannot recommend enough ahha

Ooh what Senheisers do you have? I use a lot of Senheiser kit at work and when i also work in the Theatre. Really good brand for audio in all honesty.

HD 65, nothing particularly high end :P but had them like 8 years and never had a single problem

Looks like it's pretty unanimous that Apple make the most comfortable shape pods/buds for those who prefer wearing those, seems weird that everyone else doesn't just do them the same as standard and make cheaper versions - you can patent overall styles but not the shape of a human ear surely!

Tbh I agree they look a bit silly though. I feel awkward wearing them in work if I have my glasses pushing my hair back exposing my ears.
