AirPods Pro 1 Year Later Review 🔥 Still worth it in 2021? OR wait for AirPods 2? 

Just got mine yesterday. I am surprised how lightweight they feel on my ears and the transparency mode is so good!! The ANC is alright, not the best but not the worst either. What I like the most are the pressure vents on the back that gives this “airy” feeling to music, kind of like open back headphones. This design is so rare with earbuds that it’s crazy how companies have not copied it yet.

If anyone is wondering, I've tried Sony's buds, and I own AirPods Pros, here's my two cents for anyone planning to buy earbuds: -Comfort: by far the most important aspect, you want them to stay still. Sadly Sony buds couldn't do that even with the many different tip choices they had. They're bulkier, kept falling out occasionally, and they failed the gym test, whereas Apple's stayed in place even upside down, sometimes while sleeping too. Another problem with Sony, is that if you want to fix your buds or push them in a little, you will end up pressing some buttons on it (like switching modes or accident, or pause/play), never the issue with miss clicking AirPods Pro stem controls. -Case: Apple easily wins this one, I couldn't fit Sony's case in my tight jeans, the AirPods Pro case is half the size if I'm not wrong. -Sound: Now they're both expensive, so it makes sense that they both deliver the good quality, and they do, though I will say Sony's had more punch to it when it comes to bass. -Noise cancellation/transparency: better on Apple, still good enough for Sony to fly on a plane comfortably. Extra: I've had issues with the Sony's randomly disconnecting, enough times to dislike them after 2 weeks. Also few friends who also bought Apple's buds enjoy them a lot :)

I’m lucky to be one of the rare people where the regular AirPods fit my ears perfect

This was an excellent review you covered everything I was curious about :)

I used to a skeptic of these AirPods Pro until I got one from the back to school deal last year and man they quickly become my favourite apple accessory to have on me all the time. it is just so convenient to pop these in comfortably and quickly and get to zone out in the public. sound quality wise, they do sound good. I have the XM3 Sony and I found those to sound too bassy. the flatter sound of the AirPods Pro is much preferable.

I got the AirPods 1st and 2nd gen still. Both in practically brand new condition: still just fine to me lol. But thinking about trying the newest ones if they have better sound

Great Video - Question, Which are your go to TWS earbuds? Your preferred option.

Just saying at time 5:14 in the background screensaver hits the perfect corner

Any recommendation for earbuds that are good for phone calls? And also music of course. Any other products than Apple Airpods?

Great video & what is spatial sound like? 👍

Love this video! It is such a good video for such a small channel!

This video is exactly what I was looking for

When are the gen 2 coming and do you know the difference?

Apple know how to do software with their products. I love they way they seamlessly connect to all your devices.

Thanks dude, excellent video

I'm an android user user with Airpods pro's. They work great when coupled with Wavelet for equalization and Assistant Trigger for battery level and other features. I also have Sony WF1000XM3 and Galaxy Bud plus. For simple home music listening, or travelling, the Sony's are my goto's since their sound is awesome but for all other the Airpods are it. I hate the plugged feeling I get with other earbuds such as the Galaxy buds or the Jabra's 75T (i tried them as well) and I don't get that with the Sony's or the Airpods. Also the transparent (ambient) modes are better for those two. The Galaxy buds ambiant mode is robotic and annoying. For sound, i would say the buds are close to the Airpods but with equallization, the Airpods beat them. I like the airiness. I'm not a big base head so of course, that is subjective. For me the portability as well as all the other aspects of the Airpods make it my first choice when on the go.

apple here in Mexico, replaced both for me, the case they didn´t. great video

Sorry to bother you, but which buds are you sing now? Great video.

I have been using the airpods first gen. for about two years and the case has so many scratches from me dropping it and theres something on the inside of my case but i am not able to remove without making any scratches.. so I'm planning on buying the airpods pro as you can clearly tell, my first gen. airpods has worn out but the airpods pro is pretty expensive and the airpods pro 2 will come out some time so i dont know if i should wait for the airpods 2 to come out so i can but the airpods pro for much cheaper or if i should just but it right jow

before you buy, always remember that with heavy use they last around 2 years. You might say, well, it’s normal for batteries to die. I agree, but for that money you could get some noice cancelling headphones from other brands, just as good or even better than AirPods , with much longer lifespan. If your battery dies, you can plug a cable and they’ll work. And most importantly, you can buy and replace a new battery yourself, with AirPods its impossible. Just something to consider, since nobody talks about how 250-300 pods will be dead in less than 3 years, some times, less than 2 years.

Hey really love what you're doing here awesome job. I heard that the algo also considered community post like polls and such, it'll definitely help cuz I would like to see this channel grow more exponentially bigger and better

Great video!!! Thanks for the insights.

They should make some good microphones for the second gen

Same here. Ijust use my apple watch to control the volume. very smooth.

Did you have mail the old one in? Seems like a hassle

this man is making better videos then the experts, and has a 50th of the subscribers. what the hell?

What are the other earbuds you are using in the video

came here for the review. Stayed here for the T-shirt !!!

1:53 does anyone have the link to that wallpaper??

I just bought mine last friday and I think I’ll never change again like for more years. I really love that and the balance of the sound ❤️ Anc and transparency specially is god tier.

Hey Mark, I’ve been searching your vids and I love them. Really high quality videos and I’m surprised you didn’t have more subs and views, keep going your videos are amazing and the more people realise that you’ll gain a great fan base. Keep going!

Hey Mark please please review aukey ep-t27 next and compare them to aukey ep-n5 thankyou

Should i buy these? im getting a student discount on these when i buy the iPad Pro. Im getting the regular ones for free which i think are completly useless compared to my Powerbeats Pro but if i pay £90 i can get the airpods pro. Im tempted to mainly because of the ANC and like you said its not always easy to carry around headphones(QC35s in my case). Would like someones thoughts, not really an apple person anymore so im not super up to date with all their stuff that isnt Mac or Ipad related. Main reason i ask this is because its £90 so not sure if thats worth it or not, the RRP is defo not worth it but maybe this discounted price is?

They are quite pricey but I really enjoy mine. Noice cancellation on a bus is a dream but I really wouldn’t bother upgrading from regular ones. Main reason for me is I didn’t mind throwing them in my bag but with my pros I’m scared to even put them in a pocket in case they pick up lint 😂

I bought the Bose QC today and I’m very disappointed because I’m hearing loud white noise in the left ear bud. After further investigation, it seems this is a very common issue even after replacements. I’m just gonna get the air pods pro. Currently returning the QC’s rn

One of the best tech reviewers 💯💯🔥🔥

Its not a review, its a well woven story! Nice narration and quality content :)

I just got them and love them but they fell out twice so far with the small and medium tips now trying the large if that doesn’t keep them in I will return

Great video!

I got the crackling really badly in my left pod after a year. (purchased in Nov 2019) It was replaced but now the right one has the same problem. I will also say that as someone with small/weird ear canals, the AirPods tend to just fall out of my ear after an hour of wear or so, especially with movement or if I am lying on one side. I now have Raycons, but do miss the ANC and transparency mode.

I don’t think there would be drastic decrease in price on AirPods Pro as the price now just hovers from the original price more than a year ago. When iPhone 12s rolled out iPhone 11 prices remained marginal. The price of AirPods Pro 2 will be made quite high but lower than the max model. This move will justify AirPods Pro 1 slight decrease in price.

i find people compare air buds with bulky headphones i think that for how small and for how good the noise cancel is it’s worth it if you have to compare with big bulky headphones

Would you say Bose Quietcomfort earbuds over AirPods Pro for everyday use and noise cancellation?

Had mines for a year, love it

This is actually a trick that lit bitten that’s rotating it actually plays the music over and over again.

Your review is super honest..

I have had major problems with my AirPod pros and can only use them on anc off mode due to distortion

Does the active noise cancellation of Airpods Pro COMPLETELY BLOCK all the background noise? Or it depends on how loud the noise are? Like for example I am outside and there are birds chirping around? Will I still be able to hear em with just Active noise cancellation on without any music? Thanks to whoever would respond.

Are you going to do a review on the liberty air 2 pros?

Yeah can you do the new liberty air 2 pro by Soundcore please

what about the galaxy buds? u didn't compare them?

I fell asleep and he was still talking lol. Good review !!!

Nothing on spatial audio?

just got mine today worth buying definitely.

hi sir please test the tronsmart Q10 headphone thanks

Can you review Mpow H12 ipo vs Mpow H19 ipo

I think the Jabra's are the closest to the Airpods Pro. Better sound quality for sure, but misses out on the unique features of Apple's ecosystem.

try the new Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro ... i want to know if they HISS :D

how about LG truetone fn6 and fn7

Since I'm early. What kind of websites do you recommend to by high end headphones and earbuds

I’ve got the very first EarPods and still love them 3 years on. My wife bought these pro versions and she swears by them. Not the cheapest but very high quality as always from Apple.

The ANC blew after 9mon on my airpods pro. Got a new pair under warranty and the ANC crapped out in the same amount of time.

Fortunately, when mine got the crackling, they were both faulty, and so I had mine replaced simultaneously.

can you connect airpods pro with a non-apple device? i don't have an iphone but i am insterested in these buds

You said you never know when they might go on sale and they went on sale loool

It sucks because I used these almost every single day ever since they launched the AirPod pros but now they hiss, sometimes they make that static noise you get from when you get fuzzy screen on your TV, and they fall out of my ears a lot more often than you would think (my ears are pretty clean and I even clean the AirPods almost daily). I’m a college student so I wear them around campus or rather when I would be on zoom calls this past semester and a half, and I wear them to the gym nearly every single day (sweat doesn’t really get on them but I still wipe them in the middle and after my sessions). I love them, I really do, but they’re pricey and like I said I’m a college student so I don’t exactly have the money the replace the AirPods themselves or buy a new pair. Not sure why I even typed this but I’ve just needed to let this go somewhere since I’ve had them for like two years almost…or more? Who knows. Anyways if you read this all thanks lol

You have to tell them that both buds are broken 🤧 even if they are not because the replacement buds are better built.

Try the AirPods pro with iOS 15 beta 3. Huge improvements. You get the addition of spatial stereo and not just the spatial Dolby atmos. Really big difference. And with apples upgrade of their music quality. I can now for the first time recommend these little beauties. Still not the best sounding. But from an overall integration with the apple ecosystem you will not find better.

How is the battery life? When you have used them every day? Can you still last 4.5hrs of listening? I really want to buy AirPods Pro

Quick answer yes. 13:16 had the same issue luckily me it fixed itself

I got the AirPods Pro for my birthday on Thursday May 27th 2021 my mom got them for me and I love them they are awesome I use them too listen to music and I use them for calls and watching RU-vid videos I have the iPhone se 2020 and the Apple Watch series 3 and the iPhone 7 I don’t use anymore

Great video. I thank that AirPods Pro can reach a further level of suond performance when Apple will provide best hi-fi or looseless audio codec

My AirPods 2 are the best fitting ear buds I have ever had, sound, bass etc is so rich compared to any other headphones (way better sound than the pro max headphones for example) sounds like I am very lucky in that respect. I am hesitant to get the AirPods pro due to the silicone tips, they never fit me (small ear canals I think). Might have to pop to the Apple store and see if they have some try on options.

Thanks so much 🙏 I’m getting mine tomorrow😎

I just got these last week and no matter what tip I attach they won’t stop falling out of my ears (which are clean btw 😊). I’m super bummed. I hate to return them because otherwise I am enjoying them.

i just got mine yesterday March 6 and im impressed with with the audio and the first time i tried ANC and transparency functions my mind just blow up 😂

I'm disappointed in the volume control. So you tell me I need 400$ to use the feature on my 200 bt ear buds, for 1200 iPhone 🤔

Love my air pod pros so much

I don’t really care too much about the sound quality, since I’m primarily going to use them for convenience.

Just got mine Yesterday, my ears hurt a bit after using Them for an hour or more :/ Else I love them

Had the same problem with my airpod pros twice.

8:26 - Loved this shot!

I had all three pairs! The original AirPods the AirPod gen2 and now these

Why replacing the whole unit? Think environment!

just got these

Honestly, they have made there worth speak for themselves. The great part was apple replaced both my earbuds after my first year of use because they had a crunch sound but the new buds I got i hope will last longer then a year. I wish they gave me a new battery case because i have had to charge the case more often then I do the buds themselves. I recently got the XM4’s and these are still my go to for RU-vid watching and light music listening. The Sony’s sound is better but that’s only because of the size. Honestly, will not upgrade to the the next gen AirPod pros because I know apple will increase the price and the improvements will be very minor. Especially if they don’t add colors.

Have you tried Huawei freebuds pro?

Siempre los productos apple son mejores que los demás marca no hay comparación el que anda un producto apple es de elegancia y poder

How is the battery health after 1 year of use? Many people complain about the poor longevity of the airpods pro because of that. It's that true to you?

4:52 the flex

We can offer free sample for review, is that ok?

Very tempted to buy the new ones for using in the gym... can anyone tell me how loud these go?

Listening to this while wearing the airpods pro =)

My pair is coming tommorow 🤟

I just bought a pair last night and am very excited to use them 😁

Liked for the QOTSA on the Apple Watch

I have the AirPods Pro yesterday

Nice watch

hey please review audiotechnica anc50is. they are like 30$ in india.

Great handling by Apple. I can’t believe you want to replace your functioning EarPod? In times of environmental destruction we should just throw away fully functional equipment? All brands have issues sometimes. Canon, Nikon, Apple et c. What sets a company apart is how they solve the problem.
