Hi guys.

Just collected my very own AirPods Pro, Malaysia set. Don't ask me how I got it so early even before the official launch.

My first impressions:-

Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)
The feel of the ANC is really natural and it activates via a fade in/out method, which shows how much thought Apple put into building these. However, the ANC strength is quite limited. When in a very noisy place, it blocks off maybe about 50 or 60% of the current market gold standard ANC headphones, the Sony WH-1000XM3's are capable of. I've personally tested both as I own them too, and the difference is very noticeable.

Sound Quality (ANC)
Honestly, it just sounds like regular AirPods when you stuff them (regular AirPods) in deep into your ears, but due to the better seal on the AirPods Pro, bass is WAY better than the regular AirPods. But don't expect much from it other than that. If you want better sound quality, sound stage, etc, the Sony true wireless WF-1000XM3 would do a better job, but the WF-1000XM3's are too bulky, have a large case and not as well-designed for long-term wearing.

Build Quality
Perfect is what I would describe them. From the AirPods Pro case to the AirPods Pro themselves, the quality is impeccable. How it fits into my ears is also such a wonderful experience. It feels so natural sometimes I wouldn't even realise I am still wearing them!

Usability
As one of Apple's biggest strengths, the integration with Apple devices like my iPhone 11 Pro Max is just flawless. From the way you can customise the pressure sensors to how it reflects in the iPhone Control Centre, everything was indeed done well by Apple.

Battery Life
It's nearly good as the regular AirPods, and it's good enough for me.

Summary
If you want a pair of flawless daily-driver ANC earphones without feeling uncomfortable, the AirPods Pro is the ONE to get! 👍🏻
