Noise cancellation in an non-seal ear bud?

 

[tombrr]

Hmm I’m tempted by a black Ultra 2… definitely don’t need one though.

Likewise, but it might incentivise myself more to work out more!

 

[Irish_Tom]

This is basically Airpod Pro 2 in the form factor of the Airpods — right?

I assume some form of AI/ML These will probably be a immediate purchase for me as I hate in-ear buds.

Sounds like it.

 

[squerble]

ANC will never be as good without a seal though... hmmm. Not convinced.

 

[Throrik]

That was some deep dive on the AirPods Max.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Straight into it with AI lol.

Got to get the buzz words in.

Thinner and lighter watch doesn't bode well for the battery, are they gonna gloss over it....

I mean that’s one of their biggest money makers, battery death.

Really disappointed with the Airpods MAX 'announcement'.

Was hoping for more than just USB-C and a few new colours.

Just curious, what was you hoping for?

 

[squerble]

I like the look of the hearing test. Not enough to make me go out and get some APP2s but still

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Ohhh it’s carbon neutral, that’s me sold

Meanwhile miles and miles of marine ecosystems have been destroyed for the precious metals inside.

That said, I need a new phone.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

This could be a game changer for a lot of people if it works as advertised.

 

[nosluom]

haha pretty sure people that buy earphones aren’t bothered about them being hearing aids

 

[DanF]

quite a funny feature, there must be loads of people with hearing loss and don't realise, similar to people who never get eye tests

 

[Captain Chaos]

Have to admit that I do like the look of the pro's

 

[Cromulent]

Glad they are updating the AirPods Pro 2 for free.

 

[squerble]

iPhone time again, not that I'll be buying, but this is the main event

 

[andy_mk3]

One of my best purchases.

Edit: (ever!)

 

[squerble]

Was that a slide/touch instead of volume buttons?

EDIT: No, not instead of, just on the other side.
