OT: Apple Airpods vs Pro

[dahliaclone]

We got some really nice (so I thought) Beats wireless solo headphones for Xmas from work. They are nice but working from home i wear them all day and they start to physically hurt my ears.

Does anyone have the Apple Airpods Pros? Worth the investment? Any sales you know of anywhere?

Love my pros. Noise cancellation is great when I mow the lawn. Sound quality is good. Wear them on bike rides-stay on fine to 30mph and are comfortable.

Funny, I'm the complete opposite - all Apple earphones kill my ears, while Beats are fairly comfortable in my ears.

Do you have andorid or iphone? i won a pair of airpods and with my android i have it as loud as it can go and they aren't loud enough in anything other than i quiet room. Coming from my ipad they are fine.

I love my beats pro wireless headphones. I mainly wear them when working out. Not sure I'd want the apple ones without the wrap around situation. I have pretty large facial orifices and am skeptical the air pods would stay in while running.

So many options here. Some folks love their Beats; others think they provide objectively sub-standard audio for premium prices.

-Wired or wireless?
-Earbud or cans?
-Need a microphone?
-Preference on isolating/noise-cancelling/none?
-OS(s) being used?

Edit: and most importantly... what’s you budget?

Have you considered over ear headphones?
I've enjoyed these since I've been working from home. Microphone works really well too, if you're going to be on conference calls.

I wish I would have held out for the pros because of the noise canceling. I like my regular AirPods but I have a cheap set of workout earbuds for mowing and snow blowing.

I have Soundcore liberty pro 2s. Their sound quality can't be matched at $150.

Anker makes good stuff at reasonable prices. I have quite a few of their products.

I hope you use the transparency mode when riding.
