Apple AirPods Pro (1. generation) with MagSafe charging case (2021)

I really love these headphones for every day use. They're small and convenient to carry around, they're quick to pair and unpair, and have great in-ear detection to autopause your music when removed.The case is simple, with a USB C or wireless charging capacity, a battery and charging indicator LED, and a useful feature that shows the battery of the case and buds when it is opened near your phone.The buds have really simple but effective inputs that can be easily configured. The defaults are single press for pause, double for skip, triple for backwards, and hold to change between transparency and noise cancelling modes. The buttons are light to press, but provide a satifying affirmative clicking feel when pressed. I much prefer the physical squeeze required rather than the side taps that my old Galaxy Buds Live had, this is because it is impossible to accidentally tap or tap too many times due to poor tap detection.The buds sport three unique modes for listening, alongside just plain output.-Active Noise Cancelling. This does a great job at blocking out background noise, and combined with the silicone ear tips allows a great fit, for passive noise cancelling.-Transparency Mode. This mode passes in noise from the outside, allowing better listening for traffic, conversations with the buds still in, and just listening to the outside world with music at the same time. I honestly can't believe how good this mode is at letting through everything at a sensible level, I can hear my footsteps as I walk, and the birds in the trees, but I can also hear traffic, all at the same time as my music. It is so well balanced, so I finally understand how Airpod users are having a conversation and forget they still have them in.-Spatial Audio. This mode makes it so that the audio is played through the buds corresponding to the direction you're facing from your device. This means that if your left bud is faced away from the device it will be quieter than the right bud faced towards the device. This mode is a cool gimmick that I suppose may be useful to get a more immersive film viewing experience.Overall the product is high quality, with great features.

Have never bought expensive earbuds before, however wanted something wireless for the gym. Having an iPhone & iPad I wanted something that was ultra compatible with them.I was in two minds between the AirPod 3s & these Pros - as I was concerned that the ear bud section on the pros wouldn’t fit comfortably.I went with the Pros in the end, due to the noise cancelling feature which works great. Having never had noise cancellation before, there’s a world of difference & it really improved gym sessions and listening to music in the car!The Earbud section to my surprise also fits very well inside the ear canal, tho it does take some adjustment to get used to compared to regular apple headphones. There are 3 sizes of ear buds included, so everyone should have a suitable option to use.Spacial audio feature is cool & works well, although I must say that it doesn’t make a huge difference to the way I listen to music. Maybe it’s just me?! I like it, but it’s not essential.There also waterproof so good for the gym & if your by the beach.Overall an excellent product, for a price of £185 I personally feel it’s value for money.

I cant believe I waited so long to get a pair of these. I thought they were gimmicky and my normal headphones worked well enough, what's the point I thought, they'll be a waste of money.... Well, I didnt think I realised how annoying wired headphones are... no more getting them caught on door handles and my phone going smash on the floor, no more dropping my phone and them getting ripped out of my ear. I can wander around the house and don't have to carry my phone / laptop with me. Great for working out. The only negative is that they don't have enough functionality on their own to control the music.A few times for me, they fell in the sink when I bent over. A great tip for buyers is that you need to twist them in your ear a bit to stop them falling out. Twist them towards your mouth slightly and they will be nice and tight. The sound is great and the noise cancelling is about a 3 out of 5. I have a pair of Sony XM4 noise cancelling headphones and they are only just a bit behind and I think that might only be because they are over ear. Being able to spread the cost over 6 months was a cinch, best purchase I've made in a while.
