They’re fantastic.
Watch something on Netflix with Dolby sound and the spatial audio enabled, crystal clear audio and sounds great.
thats the isue, they are £25 dearer direct from apple (if i include the 10% nhs discount) so makes sense to buy them from elsewhere.
there is no lag with video audio then? (using phone) youtube was an issue i had with some other wireless in ears.
Nope, none that I’ve ever noticed.
think im going to have to invest in a pair then.

My partner has lost her gen 2s. Very tempted to hand her my gen 2s and get some threes, but I keep ogling the pros. Wish they had proper find my integration.

Feek - was it you that mentioned Apple accepting air pod returns? I’d like to try the pros…just don’t want to be stung as I know a lot of places won’t accept returns on earphones
Yes they accept AirPod returns.
Commissario
Yes, you can take any Apple product back within the first two weeks for a full refund. I bought AirPods Pro on launch day and returned them less than a week later.
Soldato
There’s also the Beats Fit Pro if you want AirPod Pro features in a different form factor.
Soldato
Very have them for 189 but can’t imagine their returns policy is quite as useful as apple…

I've ordered some Beats Fit Pros this week. My dog chewed one of my Airpods Pros recently, causing ANC to no longer function in that ear so I was needing a replacement. I could have bought a single bud from Apple I suppose but the charging case got chewed too and by the time I've bought both I'm pretty close to a new set on cost.
Will post back with how the Beats compare.
Soldato
Hmm, will probably try the pros. Though I think we’re perilously close to the pros 2 and some form of lossless/ALAC wizardry. Just not sure how much I’d notice of good vs better

The mic on my right gen 2 airpod has packed in…tried resyning and still nothing

I received my Beats Fit Pros yesterday and have clocked up about 4 hours of listening time so far. Here are my thoughts compared to the AirPods Pro which I have been using for about a year.
They fit and stay in my ears so much better than the APPs
Pairing and use is identical to APPs
ANC is identical to the APPs
The case is significantly larger than the APPs
The sound quality is better than the APPs to my ears. Crisper highs and more lows (without being overpowering like other Beats buds).
I much prefer the buttons on the buds rather than the force squeeze of the APPs
I think if these and the APPs were the same price then I'd absolutely get these. The fact that they are £40 cheaper makes them even better.

The mic on my right gen 2 has gone, was tempted to get the pros, but decided to wait for gen 2s- that’s a tempting price though.
yeah for the price I pulled the trigger, delivery tomorrow so will give them a good rest out at the gym.

I got some Beats Fit Pro to try out too and I agree with the above post, they are really good and not having anything hanging out of your ear is a bonus, I’ve more than once knocked my APP out when removing a mask.
The fact they have longer battery life and physical buttons is a bonus too.
