Surprisingly apple indeed has no October event to announce all these new products. What a surprise.

I guess that maybe few days later or weeks later MacBook Pro 16-inch and iPad Pro 2019 may be announced in this way too.
*
I think we'll get an event for the MacBook and iPad Pro - since these are core products as compared to the AirPods. But then again, if the changes aren't substantial then it may just be a press release too.

I just used it in the mall during lunch time (kesian today lunch alone). Walking in the mall alone is such a joy. The mall is soooooo quiet. I turned on the Transparency mode after a few songs to see the diff. Then f**k, i never know that shopping is sooooo noisy.

Although I said it is quiet, please bear in mind that ANC doesn't make u deaf. U can still near some noises, like ppl pulling a luggage, fork or spoon hitting the plate, a little music when u pass by a shop that is playing music, that guy who tried to impress the girl who talked so loud when walked pass you...But all those noise are like their volume being tuned down to level 1.

Same goes to gym, u can really focus, although u can still hear the song playing in the gym, the shouting from the trainer, that "bang" noise when that "macam-yes" guy drop that barbell hard on the floor. Again, all these noises are tuned down to level 1.

It is really comfortable. I never like in-ear headset because I can't stand the pressure build up in the ear when u push that ear tips into ur ear canal. I tend to get headache and dizzy after awhile. But, what Apple did with the "balancing" tech was amazing. I wore it for hours and no issue at all.

Overall, very happy with my upgrade from gen 1.

As far as the music goes, do you find the bass side of things to be a little mild? Or is that something that can be adjusted via an equaliser setting of some sort?

I am just an ordinary user, not too particular on the sound quality. Hehehe...But definitely better than the 1st gen I had.

There is no equalizer setting in iOS, but if you use other music app, they do have their own equalizer...like Spotify.
*
Unlike the first gen, this one actually fits in my ear laugh.gif

QUOTE(cstkl1 @ Dec 27 2019, 11:15 AM)
they have a preset eq under settings/music/eq

it affects everything thats streamed/playback in aac/flac
since most audio is streamed and converted to aac.. its affected.

whats not affected is dolby digital ac3 passthrough afaik.
not sure about atmos but assume its not affected as well.
*
Yeah, that’s what I thought. Thanks bro! Anyways, no stocks here in Singapore sad.gif

I was lucky. first gen fits my ear perfectly. Hence, I only need the small size ear tips for the Pro.  biggrin.gif

The first gen ones don’t fit my ears at all laugh.gif

Anyways, I’ll probably wait for it to get discounted before pulling the trigger... a bit too pricey at over RM1k...

The bass doesn't go very "deep", but at least it's not too overpowering which is worse.

Yeah, I had the chance to test it again today and you’re right. It isn’t very deep.

Already out of stock~

Still consider upgrade from airpods 2 here.. I only own my airpods few months.. but it hurt my ear after using 1-2 hours... because I have very small ear
*
Yeah, they do run out of stocks pretty fast. I'm holding out for a gen 2 and praying that Apple will give us black ones!!! biggrin.gif

it just 1month after i bought and they discount 100  bangwall.gif

but i never regret getting this. and u shud be happy without getting the sony WF-1000XM3, becoz to me that one is bulky and heavy

airpods pro is damn comfy
*
Yeah, I read all the reviews and comparisons saying the Sony was better in terms of sound and noise isolation (and it was cheaper too), but you're right about the comfort bro. The Airpods Pro feel so light, they practically don't feel like I'm wearing them at all!

I was also thinking if it drops off and you don’t notice it haha...but anyway, does it fit perfectly so that won’t happen? I’m thinking if I should get 1 myself
*
Haha, bro, I'm just exaggerating about the buds' comfort and lightness, I'm pretty sure you will realise it if it falls off laugh.gif

I've been wearing it while doing a marathon of The Witcher last night - the comfort is outstanding!

Bro, how legit is the seller? He claims that the latest units are MY set.

Sorry for the late reply bro, kinda overlooked this thread, hahaha...

Seller is legit, bought my iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR from them previously. Not sure if their new units are MY sets or not, but the AirPods Pro I got are HK sets, shipped from KL. I got them within 2 days.

No worries bro!  tongue.gif

Unfortunately, I being cheapskate a bit haha! The last time I saw they were having promotion at RM969 + 10% coinsback and then I didn't get it as I was questioning them about MY/HK set. After they replied, the promotion ended and I offered them at RM969 again and they didn't bother to reply, so I bought mine from Impulse instead.  dry.gif

But, it's still a very good bargain!

Hahaha, ok. As long as you've gotten yours then that's good smile.gif

Purely for listening music while commuting to work when using mrt/lrt. Some walking from station to office.

So haven’t decide yet

AirPods Pro
- Comfort, light-weight, seamless integration with other Apple devices (if you primarily use them)

Sony
- Cheaper, better sound quality, battery life and ANC (according to most reviews and comparisons I've read)

I think essentially you can't go wrong with either. Pick your poison biggrin.gif

I realized the new firmware kind of actually solved the ANC issue, maybe that's me.

What's the latest firmware you're on?

2D15. But I also noticed the initial connecting to the phone is a hit and miss sometimes after the update.

Am on the same firmware.. also noticed the connection is sometimes erratic on the first try to my iPad Pro though not too frequently.
