"right now im in the process of returning them"

"i am scared of losing them though!"

"ridiculous connection issues needing hard resets"

"i purchased a set of apple airpods as an alternative to using my excellent but somewhat bulky b&o headphones when i travel on the train into london for regular everyday use if you will"

"i will of course return it again and ask for refund or try with the apple support but my advice do not buy apple airpod on amazon !"

"the left airpod runs out of battery within minutes while the right one has full charge sent off to get repaired and they send back saying they couldn’t find anything wrong with it clearly they didn’t even bother looking!"

"walking around i don't feel as though they're going to fall out either"

"it keeps giving me static noises that i can't change"

"upgrade case to wireless if that’s your cup of tea mine uses a plug i’m not that fussy 🥰 i haven’t shown them because i’m currently listening to them 😂 genuine apple product don’t be shy ☺️ these airpods 2 are life changing let wherever you walk be your runway for free thinking 💭 waist turning hip dipping music but just look out for cars cause the bass on these bad boys are meaty like a sunday roast i have to look 4 times when crossing traffic 🤣😂 peace & love 💕"

"put off buying these for a while thinking other expensive models would be better however after sending 2 versions back decided to go with pods and never looked back"

"well worth the money in the past i had bought the cheaper version they were a waste of money much better to pay extra for better quality"

"one of the worst investments i have made"

"very disappointed"

"battery seems to last for ever and you always have extra charge in the case"

"bluetooth connectivity is disappointing as well: my phone detected the airpods but once disconnected i didn't managed to pair them again"

"shame about the slight imperfection"

"siri voice activation works fine for me too the music volume dips and you just speak"

"i have a small issue with them falling out of my ears but i think it must be something about my ears because other family members who have them never have problems with them falling out"

"however neither of these are massive problems certainly not given the positives and the price tag"

"my boy loves them can't fault them really good bargain at the time of the purchase"

"i had the same issue with another pair hat i had"

"but that’s the apple issue so not rating the sender down :"

"million times better than all the fake airpods on amazon with fake reviews"

"only small gripe is they do tend to slip out of the ears a little bit and i do mean a little bit there's no danger of them falling out but pushing them back in does up the volume a little bit"

"million times better than all the fake airpods on amazon with fake reviews"

"when i spoke with apple they were fairly dismissive of the issue and put it down to user error!"

"i've never felt the need to push the volume to full even when travelling on public transport or when using in a reasonably noisy office"

"but despite this if you crank them up even in noisy environs like the gym train etc they still sound very good"

"they don't actually block out extraneous sound anymore than the cheap ones that come with an iphone but the sound quality and weight of the sound is such that it mostly overcomes this you can hear through it so to speak!"

"i tried these on classical music with mahler's second symphony and they sounded epic making the finale of the piece really full and meaty i also tried the with some brass band black dyke band playing metropolis 1927 and they made the band sound full and fruity and today at work i've had on some rush a show of hands peter gabriel so!"

"only problem i have with them is that they don’t cancel much noise unless you turn them up loud"

"they all have one thing in common they either break fail to pair etc or they are a pain to get synched to your phone if you lose connection"

"i’ll admit this was some of the most expensive tech i’ve purchased"

"they don't actually block out extraneous sound anymore than the cheap ones that come with an iphone but the sound quality and weight of the sound is such that it mostly overcomes this you can hear through it so to speak!"

"i dislike full noise cancellation products but these earpods have just enough while not blocking out everything around me important as i use them most when out and about commenting etc so gentle awareness of my environment is important"

"'hey siri' works well but the double tap required to pause playing or answer a phone call is rather more fiddly than the single press on the control of the wired buds"

"i bought this product few months ago and hardly used it now regretting already one of the airpod has stopped working checked charging but it wouldn't work"

"if you like apple don't buy a cheap alternative save up and get these"

"the only slightly weaker issue is that the microphone is not a brilliant standard meaning that when taking or making calls i have had a couple of instances where people have struggled to make me out"

"whilst to me there are somewhat expensive for my 16 year old niece they are the bee's knees & could not be better"

"the sound quality if you’re an extreme audiophile these may not be the best headphones for you"

"the main problem is the poor connection with my android phone"

"gutted and disappointed as wasted my money"

"dont order!"

"noice cancellation is perfect but they aren’t in ear headphones so expected"

"it was left out in the open for anyone to see but it's not the company fault"

"i resisted getting these as frankly the beats earbuds are junk and break and awful service from apple"

"i’ve had many earphones to use with my iphone and ipad nothing of them come close to the apple air buds crystal clear sound can walk around the house without losing the sound and connected to the bluetooth straight away on my iphone and ipad i would recommend rhe apple air buds to anyone who wants continue music"

"the main problem is the poor connection with my android phone"

"i dislike full noise cancellation products but these earpods have just enough while not blocking out everything around me important as i use them most when out and about commenting etc so gentle awareness of my environment is important"

"so far so good the only thing that was bad was that i paid £6 for delivery to only have them deliver to the wrong house and they didn’t leave a card or anything and stated that they were delivered to my house luckily it was my neighbour but delivery wasn’t even attempted at my house but this isn’t apples"

"the sound is a bit too low but the biggest problem is the microphone is unusable"

"present for my daughter’s birthday and her main present does not work"

"these little fellas were bought for christmas for my son"

"then discovered that you can get the iphone to play a lost sound!"

"this makes it uncomfortable slightly"

"by end of january the were not working anymore"

"i’ve used just a couple times and unfortunately amazon said i missed the return window"

"ridiculous connection issues needing hard resets"

"the only aspect i've found less helpful than having wired earbuds is the controls"

"my advice if you have an iphone only buy apple"

"total night and day compared to some of the many cheaper "true wireless" devices and their tinny thin sounding poor audio"

"the top of the charging box was very loose and the airpods had a sharp edge around them"

"once opened the airpods case and airpods were missing"

"then the left one stopped working"

"the benefit of having wireless headphones is they will hopefully last longer as there are no cables to get tangled and break"

"usually they start flickering and the left one stops working"

"they are comfortable and good sound quality only reason i gave it 2 stars is that there is some sort of problem internally as everytime i pause my music or watch a video while my music is playing the sound volume goes to max giving me headaches and sore ears which is a shame for a expensive pair of earphones"

"the case wobbles side to side and the hands free siri activation don’t work"

"i narrowed it down to being a problem with oneplus 6t and the airpods 2nd gen not being compatible after an update i assume"

"battery status of the case and pods show up on the screen of your phone and even give them a name which you can change via phone settings"

"they worked great until after two weeks they would fail to connect"

"quality is generally poor and you owe it to your ears to give them what they deserve"

"when i conect them with my iphone the sound is really good but the microphone is just okay as several people have complained of noise when they talk to me"

"can’t go wrong with apple"

"poor show really !"

"couldn’t complain especially with the special price offers at the time of £125!"

"previously deemed airpods unnecessary saw them as an overpriced accessory to flaunt wealth however after my previous bluetooth headphones broken i took the plunge on airpods as they fit so well with the apple ecosystem and now"

"i was worried that as they don't contain rubber buds to fit into your ear that they might feel loose or in danger of falling out but the shape means that they are perfectly stable and can be work while running and never feel like they might pop out"

"all in all i wouldn't be so disappointed in them had they have not been so expensive not on par with usual apple quality"

"he was extremely disappointed on christmas day to find that he was not able to connect the airpods to his iphone"

"the only slightly weaker issue is that the microphone is not a brilliant standard meaning that when taking or making calls i have had a couple of instances where people have struggled to make me out"

"just sometimes it falls off from my ear"

"i was dubious about these even though the world seems to be wearing them"

"i got these for the gf personally i wouldn't have gone for them as they are ridiculously overpriced and i wouldn't want to look like one of those gormless fools that walks around with them in all day"

"total night and day compared to some of the many cheaper "true wireless" devices and their tinny thin sounding poor audio"

"the case is a charger so you can get away for long periods without charge"

"i read the reviews prior to purchase so was a little anxious after some of them"

"when i spoke with apple they were fairly dismissive of the issue and put it down to user error!"

"so i cancelled the exchange"

"previously i went through 1 pair of earphones every 2 months as the cables wires would weaken with everyday use while walking etc"

"apple says there is nothing wrong with them"

"usually they start flickering and the left one stops working"

"i think i’m fairly average but these feel like they are going to fall out at any moment"

"bought these after all other ear phones kept falling out when i ran"

"disappointed with product based on cost"

"but despite this if you crank them up even in noisy environs like the gym train etc they still sound very good"

"you need some kind of hooks to retain them in your ear"

"the sound quality is not that good"

"i’ve only used them once for a workout and they kept falling out but bought some silicone covers for them"

"the sound is a bit too low but the biggest problem is the microphone is unusable"

"like most apple products these are designed to just ‘work’ without any unnecessary fuss"

"i will of course return it again and ask for refund or try with the apple support but my advice do not buy apple airpod on amazon !"

"they all have one thing in common they either break fail to pair etc or they are a pain to get synched to your phone if you lose connection"

"with all their fancy user experience babble surely apple could enable swipe to change volume?"

"not cheap but then it’s a typical well designed and made apple product"

"with all their fancy user experience babble surely apple could enable swipe to change volume?"

"does what i expected arrived within a week not noise cancelling at all a bit expensive for what you are getting but i have hardly taken them out since buying them"

"was scared they might be fake"

"i’m really sorry but this product isn’t good at all for me"

"i’ve had many earphones to use with my iphone and ipad nothing of them come close to the apple air buds crystal clear sound can walk around the house without losing the sound and connected to the bluetooth straight away on my iphone and ipad i would recommend rhe apple air buds to anyone who wants continue music"

"i have never seen the airpods till now and once i opened the always classy box i was met with this little gem of a case which held the airpods and once opened i was amazed by the little earphones and how clever the case was"

"they all seem to be the ones that go right in your ears and i can't wear those i have quite sensitive ears and have never got on with them"

"bought for my daughter i was surprised at the amazing sound generated from such a small headphone"

"i initially wrote a bad review as i thought i'd been sent a charging case that didn't work"

"not much to say here other than if you like airpods then these are for you i'm not sure the additional gen 2 features are all that much to sing about so if buying for the first time you may at least get these gen 2 pair rather than gen 1"

"my personality not enough bass"

"whilst to me there are somewhat expensive for my 16 year old niece they are the bee's knees & could not be better"

"as it’s slow and not worth it"

"i think my ears are not the best shape for these ear buds as they can fall out"

"so if these hold up and do not break these are the ones to go for"

"my right airpod broke for no reason after four months of owning this item"

"they are very pricey for what they are but i had some birthday money so i treated myself but i was so hesitant at first but i deffo recommend!"

"no reasons or excuses"

"as good as other apple earphones but without the wires"

"when i spoke with apple they were fairly dismissive of the issue and put it down to user error!"

"negatives are that they do let external sounds in unless you turn the volume all the way up"

"went to bluewater outlet in kent only to be told they did not have time and i would have to return 3 days later and wait in a queue"

"earphones life more than a day on a single charge"

"apple replaced this foc"

"good for telephone calls they are okay at eliminating backougrd noise when you are speaking but when you are not speaking some sometimes is caught and is heard by the person on the other end"

"i came home and my my package only had the airpod case and the charger i didn't actually have the airpods that was supposedly coming with it"

"they would not reset i tried everything"

"high chances of loosing it as it can drop from the ear anytime"

"you can't go wrong with an apple product but i do feel that this is overpriced"

"one of the headphone didn’t work properly unfortunately so had to send back for a refund"

"they do not connect or reset"

"i have to clean these nearly everyday otherwise the grill gets all clogged up and you can’t hear it i’ve had them for 3 months and already had to take a trip to apple "

"just as advertised"

"also when this happens the l r earphones will go out of sync"

"the two halfs on one pod are no quite matched smooth but honestly they are still pretty good and not worth me returning"

"i went through cheap ear buds huawei rip offs of airpods and nothing is matching overall feeling that i get while using these airpods"

"the left airpod runs out of battery within minutes while the right one has full charge sent off to get repaired and they send back saying they couldn’t find anything wrong with it clearly they didn’t even bother looking!"

"sent them back so disappointed i love apple but these were so disappointing"

"they are very good i heard details in the music i hadn’t heard before"

"a small led on the outside or a permanent view on your phone would not go amiss"

"great product but please note they are not the latest model"

"they hold connection never heard a dropout"

"i’ve had many earphones to use with my iphone and ipad nothing of them come close to the apple air buds crystal clear sound can walk around the house without losing the sound and connected to the bluetooth straight away on my iphone and ipad i would recommend rhe apple air buds to anyone who wants continue music"

"whilst to me there are somewhat expensive for my 16 year old niece they are the bee's knees & could not be better"

"i have to admit that the little apple eco system works amazingly although i am not convinced the entry price into the eco system is actually worth the jump"

"the sound from the airpods is the same from the wired apple earphones personally can’t hear difference"

"one of the pods does not charge consistently meaning i often return to them to find one is flat whereas the other is fully charged"

"with an iphone and ipad they connected immediately although i do sometimes get a red exclamation mark on one of them which doesnt seem to stop it connecting"

"i have a small issue with them falling out of my ears but i think it must be something about my ears because other family members who have them never have problems with them falling out"

"i was very sceptical about wireless headphones due to the issues of brain fry but i guess i can't keep my tinfoil hat on all the time"

"the only slightly weaker issue is that the microphone is not a brilliant standard meaning that when taking or making calls i have had a couple of instances where people have struggled to make me out"

"then again this is apple not expecting anything other than an overpriced price tag"

"don’t often write reviews but these headphones warrant it"

"i just received the 2nd airpod and still the same !"

"save yourself the panic and religiously put them away"

"everyone will be different won’t they!"

"but received a completely different cheap pair of earphones"

"they replaced the earpod for us"

"sent them back so disappointed i love apple but these were so disappointing"

"it keeps giving me static noises that i can't change"

"quality is generally poor and you owe it to your ears to give them what they deserve"

"almost no bass like urbeats 3 which is disappointing considering the amount of money you pay for them"

"the worst part about airpods is cleaning you eventually give up trying to maintain it due how easily they catch dirt"

"if there is a downside to them it’s just like most apple products the price!"

"still not resolved"

"so i thought i'd try a cheaper version of airpods from ebay they were not offical apple ones and i thought how bad could they be?"

"very bad sound insulation as even if the earphones are on low people around you can hear alot"

"i tried many different types beats soundcore libery jabra and others"

"i bought these to use with my pixel android phone as there isn't a proper android manufacturer alternative some features don't work on adnoird but overall it works great and the quality is apple"

"lost one of last pair and could get another pair for not much more than replacing the lost one"

"you can switch what the double tapping each airpod does but the thing i particularly miss is being able to change volume at a touch it can now only be done with 'hey siri' or by taking the phone out which is a shame"

"pretty good at connecting to iphone however on occasion takes a few tries"

"they were so badly build that i have my doubts if they are originals"

"please take note of this before purchasing"

"previously deemed airpods unnecessary saw them as an overpriced accessory to flaunt wealth however after my previous bluetooth headphones broken i took the plunge on airpods as they fit so well with the apple ecosystem and now"

"first of all before you read anymore of this review i have spent over £100 on over ear headphones and they have been pleasurable but the second i played my first song through a pair or airpods i was blown away by the sound quality + comfort!"

"they have been a huge disappointment and i am returning them"

"i’m just scared of losing them"

"it has connection issues with ipad and windows music control issue like play and pause"

"i bought the original apple airpods but really didn't use them much as they were uncomfortable and didn't stay in"

"waste of money"

"with even mild motion the earpieces fall out either one at different times "

"let’s get it straight noise cancelling is not for getting rid of the sound of people talking right next to you its for fairly constant static noises like that of cars going bu public transport or aeroplanes"

"if you're in search of headphone replacement because they're bulky and you have a few apple products already owned then it's a no brainer to go for a pair of these bad boys"

"have opted to return the headphones consider what sacrifices you want to make before buying these"

"they have been a huge disappointment and i am returning them"

"really disappointed !"

"read lots of reviews and bought pros with caution"

"shocked and disappointed in amazon"

"the other big issue is the pressure change this was hugely uncomfortable especially when on a flight"

"after initial disappointment with uncomfortable fitting an d resultant bluetooth breakup i spent some time ensuring the silicone tips were of the correct size after which they worked perfectly andmy confidence in the product was completely restored"

"airpod pro is the worst product apple ever made in my opinion"

"too complicated battery?"

"chief negative were useless in a noisy environment"

"i absolutely love these airpods my only gripe is with the large size ear tips i have much better noise cancelling but my perfect fit is the mediums they stay in the best"

"so they don’t fit so the noise cancelling does not work well and the bass is not thya good"

"comfort fit i swapped to the smaller buds this improve comfort however the headphones are always creeping slowly towards falling out but didn’t ever get there"

"this constant creeping is distracting sound nothing special very neutral and if you use the equaliser on the iphone it introduces excessive changes for example bass boost just sounds muffled noise cancelling some sounds aren’t covered i noticed high pitched sounds like a gate squeaking"

"they block out ongoing dull sounds like the sound of being on the tube the bus crowded places traffic etc work particularly well when actually playing music and pretty well when just in your ears "

"however the biggest issue is the quality of the microphone when using to make receive calls the other user cannot make or anything said unless in a completely silent environment"

"i am not a great fan of the noise cancellation feature but that is a personal preference"

"chief negative were useless in a noisy environment"

"i was very sceptical having been a bose man for many years although sound quality is amazing!"

"can't really comment on battery life connection stability or noise cancellation ability because i haven't used them outdoors but they did a pretty good job at drowning out most indoors noise so while i expect these will not beat the noise cancellation prowess of established full size cans like bose or sony they are certainly a massive improvement over the previous generation that everybody and their dog wears on a tube bus etc despite the fact that they blocked nothing at all"

"you can move your head about as much as you like and they won't come out but the repetitive actions of running skipping and walking cause them to move about"

"sound closely resembles the standard airpods with slightly better bass not overly impressed"

"it is much worse than for example the equivalently priced shure in ear phones"

"noise cancellation isn’t as good as my sony 1000xm2 but they are completely different products so for such small earphones they are superb"

"i hear a buzz when the feature is on and it feels uncomfortable"

"pro: noise cancellation is great comfortable in ear easy pairing with iphone do need to manually switch if you have them paired to more than one phone for example work phone and personal phone cons: make a annoying noise if youre wearing a hat hood and they rub against the hood not great for the gym as they still fall out whenever you're jogging engaging in exercises such as crunches rotational cable row sounds quality is nowhere as good as the wf 1000xm3 which are cheaper doesn't seem to connect to my mac or ipad"

"i initially bought with some reluctance"

"had some problems with these air pods mainly bluetooth connectivity got replacements for them still facing the same problem when listening to music the song sometimes suddenly starts breaking up usually happens when i open apps on the phone and the song keeps breaking up until i either turn off the app or turn the bluetooth off and back on again"

"it tones down things like ac units and constant drones but you can clearly hear people chatting and keyboards typing away if using it in an office environment"

"returned this"

"5h battery life average sound quality very slippery case needs a silicone rubber protection case you can get from aliexpress for £2 slightly overpriced lots of features missing on android such as accurate battery level gets a little bit uncomfortable after 2h+ because the white blob is too big relatively slippery case and earphones makes it easy to drop and scatch: a silicone case is mandatory the charging case could be 0"

"the double clicks and triple clicks used to control the playback i find very fiddly and although there is a feedback click heard through the headphones if you are listening to music you sometimes cannot hear it so the whole process is a bit hit or miss"

"this seems to be a design flaw as a number of other customers have reported the same problem"

"5h battery life average sound quality very slippery case needs a silicone rubber protection case you can get from aliexpress for £2 slightly overpriced lots of features missing on android such as accurate battery level gets a little bit uncomfortable after 2h+ because the white blob is too big relatively slippery case and earphones makes it easy to drop and scatch: a silicone case is mandatory the charging case could be 0"

"massively overpriced paying £250 i’d expect something of the same quality as the nuraphones or just below it considering the brand behind the airpods are apple"

"can't really comment on battery life connection stability or noise cancellation ability because i haven't used them outdoors but they did a pretty good job at drowning out most indoors noise so while i expect these will not beat the noise cancellation prowess of established full size cans like bose or sony they are certainly a massive improvement over the previous generation that everybody and their dog wears on a tube bus etc despite the fact that they blocked nothing at all"

"as a regular consumer i am not an audiophile but for £250 i expected more"

"after using the sony xf 1000xm3s for a few months and having issues with a number of things such as connectivity comfort and then being completely useless for phone calls i bought the airpod pro’s hoping they would be everything i hoped the sonys would be and they haven’t disappointed"

"absolutely disgusted to find that i received some £40 pound cheap earbuds from a completely unknown brand "

"but i don't regret buying them"

"the damage after drying them out for a day or so the battery pack and left earbud are fine but the right earbud has constant static noise with or without music"

"don't waste your money better take ur love one dinner and enjoy your time"

"i bought them because of the noise cancellation feature as the music at the gym is too loud and it worked great however for such a pricey pair of earbuds the fit needs to be dramatically improved"

"and they say maybe a by doing a return to factory settings which of course i would loose all my info it might help or wait for another software update"

"however in the gym or when i'm running they are rubbish"

"have been to an apple subie and they say nothing wrong with the airpods airpod pro and nothing wrong with my iphone!"

"chief negative were useless in a noisy environment"

"the ease of using them especially with apple products like my ipad pro iphone and macbook air just ridiculous!"

"the noise cancelling is good very good even but it's not up to the same standards set by the larger bose and sony over ear headphones but it still does what it advertises it'll eliminate background tv or radio noise for instance and ambient noise from a noisy environment people talking etc"

"the fit no matter what i do or what size of silicon piece i use the left one keeps falling out"

"you can use siri but the adjustment is very coarse"

"they are smaller they fit better in my ears they sound better and they cancel out some noise"

"didn’t dislike anything"

"i can't recommend these enough and even with the premium price tag you won't regret getting them "

"i found the noise cancelling feature on these strikes a good balance between you being completely unaware of your surroundings and letting in too much noise"

"5h battery life average sound quality very slippery case needs a silicone rubber protection case you can get from aliexpress for £2 slightly overpriced lots of features missing on android such as accurate battery level gets a little bit uncomfortable after 2h+ because the white blob is too big relatively slippery case and earphones makes it easy to drop and scatch: a silicone case is mandatory the charging case could be 0"

"i'm going to return to my idea of buying some bose sport earphones for the gym these are useless for that"

"after using the sony xf 1000xm3s for a few months and having issues with a number of things such as connectivity comfort and then being completely useless for phone calls i bought the airpod pro’s hoping they would be everything i hoped the sonys would be and they haven’t disappointed"

"after 10 minutes of use these airpods began to really hurt my ears especially at the cartilage area the rubber buds fitted the ear canal fine but the outer main plastic part of the airpod constantly rubbed and i found them too sore to wear a real shame so they’ve gone back and i’m still on the pain free generation 2"

"5hrs before needing to recharge even when noise cancelling turned off"

"have been to an apple subie and they say nothing wrong with the airpods airpod pro and nothing wrong with my iphone!"

"amazon sort out these issues is not the first time something of value has been left like this"

"i usually do a lot of running weight lifting and crossfit training and i have tried changing the bud size and even wearing them upside down and nothing works"

"i’m really pleased with the airpods the fit is perfect no chance of them falling out but this may not be the same for all"

"noise cancellation isn’t as good as my sony 1000xm2 but they are completely different products so for such small earphones they are superb"

"beats are overpriced junk"

"although i find these excellent working with ipads and sometimes with ipods but never with iphones!"

"the other big issue is the pressure change this was hugely uncomfortable especially when on a flight"

"comfort fit i swapped to the smaller buds this improve comfort however the headphones are always creeping slowly towards falling out but didn’t ever get there"

"well you can’t control volumn from airpods so have to ask siri or control via iphone or apple watch"

"downside the price"

"hiss in left ear radio wave and dull flat sound"

"if you are in apple ecosystem this is great as some apple features like audio sharing only share to apple h1 chip headphones airpods 2+ powerbeats pro+ airpods pro if you want to use it in android be try sony wf 1000xm3 or wh 1000xm3 finally everyone have different ears there are lots of people in the earth different people different ears no company can made in ear headphones fit everyone’s ear no matter sony like the wf 1000xm3 always drop out of my ears with one touch or bose"

"where these really fall down however is in the idea that they are suitable for exercise"

"the speaker grill itself is double or more the size of normal airpods as well!"

"or did i miss something?"

"i bought the original apple airpods but really didn't use them much as they were uncomfortable and didn't stay in"

"for listening in your own space when you just want to go loud and not disturb those asleep upstairs"

"hoping the airpods pro ii don’t hurt my ears!"

"let’s get it straight noise cancelling is not for getting rid of the sound of people talking right next to you its for fairly constant static noises like that of cars going bu public transport or aeroplanes"

"bought these for active noise cancelling and it was underwhelming"

"very very overrated"

"there is no volume control so if like me you wanted to use them whilst running and streaming music from your apple watch the only choice is using the digital crown and this is only usable from the music app on the watch"

"i was not planning to buy these earphones maybe the normal airpods"

"i'm going to return to my idea of buying some bose sport earphones for the gym these are useless for that"

"for short runs or sub 1 hr aerobic sessions i didn't have an issue"

"one thing i don’t like is the ease with which the case opens and the buds can fall out!"

"i think if the current fit can’t fit your ears you should wait someone made the different ear tips to fit it"

"i don't usually take the time writing reviews but i was compelled to let people know how good these actually are from some who wouldn't usually look twice at expensive earphones like this"

"i’ve owned numerous high end earphones from shure 846 & 500 sennheiser ie800 b&o e8 and klipsh x10i"

"but on long runs they would work loose"

"the noise cancelling is good very good even but it's not up to the same standards set by the larger bose and sony over ear headphones but it still does what it advertises it'll eliminate background tv or radio noise for instance and ambient noise from a noisy environment people talking etc"

"it isn't that they fall out it's that they break the noise cancelling seal quite easily"

"under no circumstances but this product i did and they are 100% fake"

"any movement like running or even walking over time causes them to work loose"

"other earphones with noise cancelling tend to be quite bulky and so you can't wear a beanie hat with them comfortably"

"as i am in my eighties i find this incredible but i want to listen to my books in the apple clarity and tone note one software upgrade has been and gone no change!"

"it is the most densely populated city in europe and my day to day environments are noisy"

"i am in a minority: i find the bass heavy sony wx 1000 ghastly and can't stand them"

"however not noise cancelling in my opinions compared to the sony’s"

"i was super worried about this as i don't usually like the bud earphones"

"everybody complained when i called people using the airpod pros they struggled to hear me"

"now isn't that amaz"

"sound isolation on the airpods is definitely good i drove my land rover defender and i could not here the engine"

"because of an earlier review i was a bit worried these won’t be the originals but mine were 100% the real thing i triple checked every little mark or function on them to make sure "

"if you are one of the unlucky few with ear canals that fall somewhere between the tree sizes the case with my poor bose earphone fitting you are out of luck and these will not work for you"

"if you're in search of headphone replacement because they're bulky and you have a few apple products already owned then it's a no brainer to go for a pair of these bad boys"

"for short runs or sub 1 hr aerobic sessions i didn't have an issue"

"they are dreadful"

"mic quality is awful"

"i originally had the 1st generation airpods but didn’t see the point in getting the 2nd generation as they aren’t much different"

"comfort fit i swapped to the smaller buds this improve comfort however the headphones are always creeping slowly towards falling out but didn’t ever get there"

"the only thing i don't like about them is the sound quality"

"at £250 they’re too expensive to leave behind in public!"

"the controls are ok although having to use the phone for volume adjustment seems a bit archaic"

"i like the portability battery life and anc but the lack of volume adjustment means they are not good enough to be my sole go to earphones"

"doesn’t fit my ears"

"but consistent noises will be cancelled out"

"i have to admit i'm not a great fan of the company apple i don't like their lack of features on premium devices their updates and also how expensive their products are"

"you can move your head about as much as you like and they won't come out but the repetitive actions of running skipping and walking cause them to move about"

"overall a definite do not buy if you have the old airpods keep them"

"bose offer a complete high value package with great nose cancellation and a good sound balance particularly at low volume thanks to dsp but if you value sound quality they are passable at best"

"i was super worried about this as i don't usually like the bud earphones"

"after using the sony xf 1000xm3s for a few months and having issues with a number of things such as connectivity comfort and then being completely useless for phone calls i bought the airpod pro’s hoping they would be everything i hoped the sonys would be and they haven’t disappointed"

"i wouldn’t say these compare to my over ear sony wh1000 xm2 by any means but they do block a lot of back ground noise"

"if you are in apple ecosystem this is great as some apple features like audio sharing only share to apple h1 chip headphones airpods 2+ powerbeats pro+ airpods pro if you want to use it in android be try sony wf 1000xm3 or wh 1000xm3 finally everyone have different ears there are lots of people in the earth different people different ears no company can made in ear headphones fit everyone’s ear no matter sony like the wf 1000xm3 always drop out of my ears with one touch or bose"

"they don’t always work"

"when going through the test i tried out the medium which come already not he headphones and the smaller ones and both had a good seal within my ears i am just wondering whether it comes up with the same results no matter size silicone tips you use?"

"i am ashamed to be british ashamed to be from a so called developing country were as animalistic as the animals who kill because we they have the power and authority to help stop it and make massive differences but instead they sell stupid plastic little things that you can put in your ears wtaf i'm at a loss for words"

"hiss totally gone"

"they’re also not massively loud but i guess that’s good to protect my hearing"

"there is children in the developing world that die of starvation every day not one or two or five or ten but hundreds of thousands and i truly believe that apple etc anyone who produces these and other similar products should be totally and utterly ashamed of them selves and everything they stand for my opinion is that they are as guilty of causing death and suffering of children women men etc so people who sit on death row for first degree murder because these people are dying as a direct result of their actions"

"the noise cancelling is really good like in a noisy shopping mall it can reduce the noise to nearly nobody is around you everyone have different needs if you don’t need the noise cancelling and the transparency mode you don’t need to update from 2nd version the transparency is perfect too don’t need to get it out to hear surroundings"

"however not noise cancelling in my opinions compared to the sony’s"

"overpriced i think"

"so with that reference in mind i think the pro's deliver something much closer to the recording than any of the above just as their homepods mocked and ignored by many because they are apple made and only work with apple music out of the box beat pretty much any smart speakers in their price range and quite a few above "

"i have no idea if this is because i use it on an android phone but perhaps a firmware update could fix it despite bluetooth 5"

"pro: noise cancellation is great comfortable in ear easy pairing with iphone do need to manually switch if you have them paired to more than one phone for example work phone and personal phone cons: make a annoying noise if youre wearing a hat hood and they rub against the hood not great for the gym as they still fall out whenever you're jogging engaging in exercises such as crunches rotational cable row sounds quality is nowhere as good as the wf 1000xm3 which are cheaper doesn't seem to connect to my mac or ipad"

"bose offer a complete high value package with great nose cancellation and a good sound balance particularly at low volume thanks to dsp but if you value sound quality they are passable at best"

"sold my left kidney for it and it is still trash"

"sound is ok it could be better for the price really it’s clear and has a good range but the low mid is not as punchy as some models and there no chance to increase that with the eq as it’s terrible on iphone"

"the noise cancelling is terrible it does not work at all unless your music is playing at a very loud level wherein it would’ve matter if you have noise cancelling or not due to the volume of the music if your music volume is quite low or no music is playing the noise cancellation feature just works as an annoying sound muffler you can still hear every sound just at a reduced volume"

"the reason for the 4 stars on noise cancellation is because i am comparing them to my bose quietcomfort qc35 ii but for earbuds they are very very good"

"i have a pair of jh custom iems focal stellia's hd800s etc"

"absolutely disgusted to find that i received some £40 pound cheap earbuds from a completely unknown brand "

"this constant creeping is distracting sound nothing special very neutral and if you use the equaliser on the iphone it introduces excessive changes for example bass boost just sounds muffled noise cancelling some sounds aren’t covered i noticed high pitched sounds like a gate squeaking"

"under no circumstances but this product i did and they are 100% fake"

"it got to the point that when i wore these outside i'd be constantly checking and adjusting the fit thinking they were going to drop out"

"the improvement in audio quality and audio level owing to better seal of ear canal and noise cancellation are stark couldn’t be happier with the improvement"

"i’ve been waiting for apple buds for a long time and now apple have nailed it!"
