Apple Releases New Firmware for AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods Pro 3
AirPods Pro 3 review - everything is better except the sound
Are the Apple AirPods Pro 2 worth buying right now for $168.99?

Just got the new AirPods, and this is my first impression after 30 minutes of listening and playing around.
Sound: way much more of a V shape. Don’t get me wrong, I love my bass extension; however, that is for when it stays flat rather than raise up like in the 3s. That, along with the more V shape, allows people who only care about how loud it can be to have fun, but as someone who listens to everything at around 45db this isn’t fun for me. The 2s were getting on their time with battery and scratches; however, their sound was really good, especially for the convenience and portability rather than bringing some of my wired IEMs with a wireless adapter. What I’ve felt is that this is just too distracting now with the V shape. Death & Romance by Magdalena Bay no longer is the perfect mix, where every instrument is fully meshed together, and is instead a V, which is sad and rather disappointing. Hopefully, Apple is able to fix this by either firmware or a 10-band EQ like on the Mac.
Everything else: comfort. The new tips (at least right now) grip so much better and sit fuller in my ears. My 2s would slip out while talking as my earwax is more viscous. The noise canceling is noticeably better and more natural sounding with a lower noise floor. Transparency is marketable better with now a truly pass-through I can describe as invisible. What I’m looking forward to is the extended battery life in the buds themselves as that is always my limiting feature now.
Might do a more in depth review later. Let me know if you want me to test anything!
Amazon has a Prime Day sale of $168.99 for the Apple AirPods Pro 2 but am undecided on whether that's worth biting the bullet.
I currently own the regular Airpods 2nd Gen, which I'm not crazy about due to the lack of noise cancellation. But I do also own a pair of JLab earbuds which were very cheap and I like better than my Airpods as it filters out noise a little better due to its silicone tips, but they are already not holding charge well enough even though I only owned it for 8 months, which is annoying. So maybe I need to get something better.
So what are your thoughts? Should I go for that $168.99 deal on Amazon for the Apple AirPods Pro 2? I do have to join prime for $15 to get that deal, but it still beats paying $190 for the non-prime price.
why people hate this headphone so much. Its very obivious that sound quality really upgraded. I heard sounds that I never heard with pro 2. This is a amazing headphone…
