AirPods vs. AirPods Pro?
Yesterday, I bought the AirPods Pro to give as a gift.
I have the regular AirPods which I like a lot. I use my AirPods mostly for listening to books on Audible while I walk or do jobs around the house. (I am such a dinosaur that I still play music on the Bose with CDs or my precious, little iPod. When the iPod came along, I was thrilled because I am old enough to remember scratching vinyl albums when trying to play just my favorite songs on the Garrard turntable through the giant Pioneer speakers — that were part of Mr. Boomer’s trousseau when I married him. I met him when he had just returned from Thailand and was going to school on the GI Bill. Yep. That’s what he came with. ) But, I digress. . . Anyway, I have read about the AirPods Pro and watched a video, too. But I am interested in knowing if anyone has personal experience to share. Are the AirPods Pro worth it? If so, under what circumstances? Boomer |

I've had both - currently using the Pro version. As mentioned above, Pro version does sound better, maybe due to better ear sealing, but if audiobooks are primary use that may not be a big deal. The noise cancelling really does work - I like them better primarily for that (blocks most of the vehicle noise when I walk) and because they stay put better for me than original AirPods. For me they're worth it. Saw them on sale over the weekend for $169.

The AirPod Pros and a much better product. They have excellent noise cancelling and they simply fit (and feel) better than the standard AirPods.
I highly recommend them.

Thank you.
As I understand it, the noise canceling feature can be turned on and off. Am I correct about that? Is that the feature they call ‘transparency’? |

Warning.
If someone with the pro version leaves the room with the buds in their ears, but leave their phone behind, be careful what you discuss. Grandson gave me a demonstration only last week of how you can listen to others when out of the room, simply with a click on one of the installed apps. Absolutely amazed at some of the features the things have. We and his parents now watch him, like a hawk! |

Go Pro
Hi, I have the airpods which I love, but then I kept secretly wanting to try the Airpod Pro's. So in a self-indulgent moment I dipped into the Apple store and dropped the $250.00 to get them. I don't regret it at all. I recently flew to Florida and since the pro's have the silicone tips that create a great seal, and a noise-canceling feature... it was a very peaceful flight. The screaming toddler was no problem. I like that these Pro's do NOT fall out, ever. I could do cartwheels (if I could do cartwheels) and they would stay in. I still wear the regular airpods when I need to be able to hear other sounds... like at work or if I am in public high traffic areas. It's great to have both but if I were forced to pick one I would pick the Pros.
