AirPods Pro 2: Why is everybody praising these

True or false: the lanyard hook is the best new feature on these buds
TRUE -becca “phone charms stan” Farsace

The wired buds are such a good benchmark for call quality.

I think Becca is currently the best reviewer of The Verge. Keep it up! 🎧🥳

While most reviewers just side with the specs and explain features from the product ads, it's refreshing to see someone actually test things out and give an unbiased opinion.

4:31 Changing the audio input source from the EarPods to your studio microphones when Becca removed the EarPods is a great bit of editing ❤

There is so much technical and visual creativity in this review, I just loved watching it even if I'm not that much interested about these earbuds.

Honestly the FindMy support should be praised more. It’s SO EASY to lose one of the buds, or the case. Finding them is effortless now!

Sure, the APP 2 looks good and all - But Becca’s evolution as a Verge reviewer is the gem of this video! Love the direction she’s moving in. Would not be surprised to see her go off on her own at some point! Well done, great video as always!

The production quality and the friendliness of the hosts have been getting much better. Well played, Verge!

Active transparency lowers the loud noises just a little but enough. It doesn’t completely dump the noise (like you might expect) but kind of ”adjusting” it so its effect is hard to detect but in my experience it works.

Every time Becca posts a review, I have to comment because it is so impressive how good she really is. I put her up there among the best reviewers on Youtube. Just amazing content that engaging and fun to watch. She is a gem..

One thing that I have found Apple AirPods (Pro or otherwise) work better than anyone else is being able to switch from using the phone to the iPhone easily. With most other earbuds, they tend to stay locked to the last device it was connected to, so I would need to manually disconnect it on that device (MBP) before the iPhone can connect. AirPods just seamlessly switch to the new device

Very smart way of showing the viewers how good the anc is. Great review as always, bud!

Love this review... Especially the way you compared the ANC on those 4 earphones 👍🏼

Listening to this using the AP3's I could definitely hear the difference between the mics on the APP1 and APP2. It's fuller on the APP2 - which if you're on a lot of calls, having sound closer to the wired Ear Pods is really welcome. Thanks for the review.

A very thorough real world review. Thanks. But I agree with most other reviewers that the audio improvement is more dramatic. Maybe it’s very individual with ears. But I had to crank the old ones to hear the detail in music. These I can keep at 30-40% and enjoy even more clarity.
To me I have noticed the adaptive transparency kicking in. It’s somewhat subtle, but we live where several rural ambulances make their final turn toward a hospital. They often suddenly turn on sirens right behind our house as they approach the intersection. It startles me if I’m deep in thought. These sirens and other loud sounds in our home are subdued just enough to reduce that affect.
The call quality test would really be dependent on carrier and signal strength even more than audio source so that part gets really subjective.
To me, Bose make incredible speakers but I don’t love their headphones. I think with this update Apple now has their own unique sound that I like better. But I’m sure the competition will heat up from here.
So this video is a good honest review and these are my honest thoughts in reply.

Always worth waiting for a Becca review. Another home run. 🥂😎

loved the honest review. it really helps someone overwhelmed with the hype for a purchase decision.

This is a unique demonstration of how comparison of ANC worked

Ive always love your sound devices reviews I was waiting for this one
