A long time coming.

If you've been looking for a reason to upgrade your AirPods, Apple hasn't really given you any for a while.

Thankfully, Apple could finally be gearing up to introduce new models to its earbud lineup.

The ones without noise cancelling are probably not great for your hearing, I can't believe I used to use those thingz

What’s so special about the noise canceling AirPod Pros? I have the cheap base ones so just curious for when I need to replace / upgrade.

Its everything. You just have to try it, the sound is phenomenol and you drown out a ton of ambient noise so you can keep the volume much lower and hear much more.

If I disliked someone and wanted them to go deaf, I would recommend non-Pro AirPods haha. You're in for a treat :)

I hope you are not using airpods in place of hearing protection.

No, certainly not. Mainly talking about on public transport or shopping areas, you'd be amazed doing a comparison twst with them on and off, realizing how loud public areas can be without knowing if not for the comparison

I like the ANC in my XM4s a lot.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Can confirm. If you wish to listen to something while in the train/subway or in some other noisy environments, such as a bus stop right next to a busy road, ANC really helps a lot. Obviously, it’s no replacement for proper hearing protection, but instead of cranking up the volume through the roof, you can listen to things at a very reasonable volume despite the noisy environment.

I don’t know if it’s valid to do, but some people swear by using them at concerts.

Seems great. I can’t stand ear buds that go in my ear though.
