That one can be updated via software, but it’s more like digitalised music.

anybody compare this new airpod pro to beats fit pro yet?

I upgraded from airpod pro 1 to beats fit pro I think when the beats just released and I love the beats because while retaining all the airpod pro goodness and adding huge improvement over music quality... and beats fit my ears almost perfect

Then you don’t need to change to the new AirPods Pro. Regardless of well the device performs, for wireless buds ear fitting is the most important aspect. Otherwise it’s just a major hassle.

Go with Comply tips.

I recently purchased the Azla tips, XELASTEC.
super nice I like it. Initially it takes a while to put it in place in your ears but once the tips start moulding to your shape then it’s all good. Best of all when I run and sprint, the eartips dont drop off at all. 😃

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.

How to compare Beyer with Airpods Pro. Beyer is wired headphones ler. Or yours is wireless?

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.

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

I think comparing AirPods Pro to a wired headphone, Bayer nonetheless is extremely far fetched. The driver sizes differences are already huge. And also, you don’t need to have audiophile music source to hear the difference. Even those genre that you just mentioned, the quality is like sky and earth. AirPods Pro bass is not even as punchy as Bayer, I mean just look at the cup of the headphones and the tiny earbuds, and you tell me that the bass is as strong?🤔. Don’t even need to listen to it to know.

The difference in depth or details is way too prominent to say that AirPods Pro is even near that quality. Lol.

AirPods Pro is good in its category, but comparing it with Bayer and claim that AirPods Pro is as good. That’s no no. Bluetooth can never compare with analog. And never as powerful due to the voltage difference itself.

i forgot to tell you my beyer is one of the bass light ones and very bright. For me even normal sone xm4 and xm5 headphone's bass is too much. Airpods Pro 2 bass has good quality and details, very clear when you listen to acoustic bass not those electronic ones, and yeah it's strong too, if the amount is more than this i wouldn't like to listen as much anymore, because what i care is quality not the quantity.

Weird for you to mention it doesn't have much details but when i tried on some audiophile tracks i can listen to every background noises on it just fine, even some songs like on vienna teng's "nothing without you", alot headphones that doesn't have good treble detail can't even distinguish the background 2 different cymbal sounds but the airpods pro 2 can, on a lossy bluetooth codec.

Background vocal separation on audiophile recorded track also is pretty easy on airpods pro 2, don't say about the bass too, it's strongest point, even head-fi audiophiles agree airpods pro 2's strongest audio feature is it's bass quality. I don't know how much bass you liked this to be but for me it sounded fine, the amount and tonality is what i expected, since i myself plays acoustic drum before too, so i hated earphones or headphones that can't do kick drums, snare, toms, and cymbal's sound well.

lastly it is the instrument separation which is actually really good on airpods pro 2 too. it actually shows the sound of each instrument quite nicely that some of my more expensive wired gear wouldn't be able to and make the sound more flat. I don't really care about depth that much despite that airpods pro 2 have some level of depth but not much.

for the me the only weakness is the highs, they just sounded "lossy" and lacked much detail, it sounded like digital artifacts or if you play pc games like have aliasing, wheres my beyer would play the same highs very clear. To be fair even my ue900 aren't able to play highs super clear too, and that's running on balance armature that should be great in highs.

all of this tested via iphone and lossless apple music tracks (let the phone transcode the bluetooth codec)

i haven't tried on android yet but i do noticed it sounded significantly worse when connected to windows 10.

AirPods Pro can’t play lossless quality, regardless of its codec. Unless you have ears that read codec, analog is always better and Wiredheadphones with the right DAC play lossless quality.

AirPods Pro is designed and tuned and to appeal to the mass listening, and everyone loves a nice bass, that’s digitally boosted. And it just sounds great for general public.

You do you, everyone’s preferred sound profile is different. AirPods Pro is certainly good enough for my daily jogging and calls. (It’s good for jogging only after I changed the eartips otherwise the original ones were so bad!) and it certainly delivers nice music quality for general listeners. Otherwise to say that it’s as good as wired headphones, well I beg to differ. And on that part we will have to agree to disagree.

I still love my AirPods Pro though, I actually use them for calls mostly. And it delivers really well. But to enjoy music fully, I still go back to my trusty bayer together DAC.

man for you it's always lossy lossy lossy
bro you speak like i can't differentiate aac 256kbps vs lossless, i do, i can hear the difference just from using my ue900 alone for thr aac vs lossless. But the fact still remains that by pairing the airpods pro 2 with iphone, even the 256kbps aac sounded pretty farn good and close to being true hifi

And for you it’s always what I can hear what I can hear what I can hear. Yeah sure talk is very cheap. I can also tell you that I have laser eyes and can scan your DNA, don’t need fancy machines. True Hifi quality with AirPods Pro? Lol. That’s only for people who can’t tell the differences.

But like I already said, overall listening experience is amazing for AirPods Pro. And the rest we just have to agree to disagree. You do you, talking and talking is so damn cheap.

Actually how do you check or know if your AirPods is still connected even though you don’t use it? You check via the battery widget?
