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.
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.
