Review: Airpods Pro 2, a good complement to the Apple ecosystem

These pads are also key to one of their functions: sound isolation. The first thing I could notice is its noise cancellation mode, which although it doesn’t block it completely, does a great job of isolating outside noise from what you want to hear. Apple says that it is up to two times better than its previous version.

The truth is that I used this function several times during video calls in the office or even to listen to music to concentrate and I succeeded, because it was very difficult to hear others.

The sound is very enveloping, the quality of the bass is very powerful and clear, even using the booster. Very comfortable, when talking or chewing, they do not come out of their place, which usually happens with other similar models. In strong or sudden movements, such as during exercise, it stays in place.

Now, this noise cancellation is designed to occur automatically, thanks to the integration of the new H2 chip and the use of algorithms that are capable of detecting when the person is in a noisy environment (such as an office sometimes). or the street) and when it notices that there is a reduction of this it moves towards the “Adaptive Ambience” mode where it is possible to have a little sound from the outside, but reducing some of the louder sounds.

It is also possible, as I did, to be able to make the adjustments from the iPhones or even by touching the headphones to change from one mode to another.

Another function that I found very relevant is that they allow the audio to adapt to the specific shape of each person with personalized spatial audio. This is achieved by using the TrueDepth camera to map the shape of the head and ear of the person wearing the Airpods Pro.

In this case, both my husband and I use them to distinguish if they adapt to each one of us and we were able to verify when listening to music in spatial audio that it completely adapts to us and our movements and the sound experience is very good. Everything is heard as it should be heard, with clean audio and lots of detail.

Now, about the controls, in the case of the Airpods Pro everything is done on the little sticks, from where you can control the volume of what you are listening to without having to depend on another device to do so. The learning curve for volume control can take a few tries to master but after a few tries it’s pretty easy to use.

They become the perfect complement to the Apple ecosystem, both in terms of entertainment and productivity if you are a user of their iPads, iPhones and Macs, because they are also capable of detecting which device you are using even if you have several running at the same time.

When a call comes to the phone, they connect there but if I decide to take a video call on the computer they go there and even if I play a movie on the iPad, it detects it and connects instantly.

As for the case, this one maintains almost the same design as the previous one but with some modifications. One of the most relevant is that it now has a small speaker that generates sounds in different circumstances: when connected to a device, to charge them or to search for them through Find My.

They’re worth it?

This accessory becomes another good seasonal gift for those who are Apple users and, above all, for those who have never had Airpods and even those who have previous versions of them and who live in the Apple ecosystem all day.
