Just gotten my pre-ordered pair from Machine. Im new in Apple eco system and also new in airpod.. I have a few question to ask.

1. Can we make the airpod only connect to our phone? Like make it only belong to our phone. Other people cannot connect?

2. If I open the airpod case in a public area, anyone with Iphone will receive the notification to connect correct? Thats mean anyone can easily steal your airpod and connect it and use it for their own correct?
*
1. Once the AirPods have been paired to your devices, new devices cannot pair with it unless you press and hold the physical button on the case again.

2. Only during the initial pairing stage. Just quickly pair it with your phone and you don’t have to worry already.

Sounds quality not that great if compared to WF-1000XM4... But comfortable level is really good, cause surprisingly no need really push airpod pro into ear. Noise cancelling is good. I would say slightly better than 1000xm4.. transparency mode volume is like half volume or lvl10 ambient sound of 1000xm4..

Overall it is a good buy for Apple users compared to earlier airpod pro gen 1..

which phone did you tried it on? afaik iphones doesn't support LDAC, xm4s sound way better with it on android phones. I have Ultimate Ears UE900 so yeah of course it sounded better than airpods pro 2 but airpods pro 2 sounded so balanced for me (except slightly more bass) that it's my go to now.

I need to try xm4 or xm5 if i got the chance, I tried their headphone xm4 and xm5 and i can't stand the sound at all, the bass is just too much it's hurting my ears. I tried sennheiser wireless headphones and they sounded really good and balanced, the airpods pro 2, their earpod had around the same sound profile as the sennheiser. my beyer also sounded close but with clinical treble, recessed mids and way less bass.

You will notice it when you turn your head around. Just put your phone in the middle, then trying turning your head around and you will hear the difference.

of course wired. what i meant is even sony xm4 earbuds can support LDAC, very close to lossless already. Even then I tried airpods pro on some audiophile tracks, the bass quality and mid is really good, it just had some rolled off highs and the upper high and high freqs has lesser resolution but still very good, no idea if it was due to the lossy transmission codec.

mine i just use fixed position. On dolby atmos tracks in apple music it's really cool, very pronounced instrument separation and more 3d instrument positioning. Some audiophiles may hate it because it does reduce some fidelity but in reality, if you listen live or you are the performer on stage, it's not even that clear too LOL. Those who does play in a band or jamming would know.

Interesting. What is your source? iPhone? Cause Beyer can barely run with iPhone, not even enough power. Do you use DAC?

Then you need to compare it Apple to Apple. Wired vs wired, wireless vs wireless, via the same source.

Bayer sounds much better than AirPods Pro. Its impossible to say that AirPods Pro sound as similar to Bayer cause that one is a high end wired headphones. The details and depth are like sky and earth.

I have both bayer and AirPods Pro. The difference is not even marginal. It’s entirely different league.

But in the wireless buds world, AirPods Pro is already very good.

still sound is sound, airpods pro 2's weakness for me is only the high-midrange and highs, for the bass and mids, it's actually as good as high quality wired headphones. For the bass it can show the plucking details on acoustic bass, and for the mids it can separate different background different vocals well enough, some cheaper audiophile headphones can't even do that.

it's not as good as wired hifi headphones and earphones, but it is already pretty good enough for normie musics. I'm not those who chose to listen to audiophile albums to enjoy the better equipment's sound, I prefer pop, rock and metal and those usually doesn't even have good studio recording and mixing quality to take advantage on real audiophile stuffs anyways

and that's the sound for me when using "off" profile on the noise settings
