The item delivered is a new and working 100%. Box is intact and no dent. However, the purchase date is in October 2022 when checked to Apple, even if I bought it on February 2023. Fortunately, Apple could change the purchase date by contacting Apple Support. But, too much hassle.

Best noise reduction of any buds I’ve tried. Perfect connectivity as with everything in the apple ecosystem. ‘Find my’ sounds have already saved me the sticker price several times over – case will alert you if you walk away from a bud. So simple, but genius!
Not the longest battery life but buds recharge so quick in the case it’s a non-issue

Excellent design, handy features like automatic pause and play, virtual leash between the TWS and connected phone, etc. I like Spatial Audio, but it is only available on Apple Music. The audio quality of the AirPods Pro 2 is good enough to satisfy regular consumers, but maybe not sufficient for Hifi users.

First of all, thanks to the seller! The product has awesome value as i got it $30 cheaper than srp! Very good sound quality, very good anc and amazing transparency mode! Plus it came earlier than expected, came in on good condition and got it at a discount! Awesome value and highly recommended!

The noise cancelling is twice as good as the first gen ones, it really is noticeable. The inclusion of speaker on the charging case is nice incase you need to find them. It works a lot better with Find My, you’re less likely to lose them.

The Airpods Pro Generation 2 are fantastic wireless earbuds which boast extremely flat and clear sound, making the listening experience excellent for myself who isn’t too big on extremely bass filled earbuds. The noise cancelling is the cherry on top of the clear audio cake and makes walking home next to the road a very pleasant experience. It would be a solid 10/10 if the eartips weren’t as finicky as they are to remove and swap out.

I hate Apple, the conpany sucks, they do awful things, manipulate buyers and rip users off with their exclusive apple ecosystem.
That’s why i was skeptical about these headphones, my last apple product was an iphone 4s, that they were caught slowing the processors down, the excuse being to prolong the non replacable lipo battery. Just gross behavior.
These headphones are truly amazing, i’m blown away by the noise cancellation, sound quality and size.
So glad i went for the pro 2nd make version, these are premium. For noisy streets and plane flights, every day use, it’s a large quality of life increase for me. Not many products in life can make me feel noticeably happier, these do.
All the horribly city noise is sucked out of my ears with the press of a button, play a song or ambience music and bang, you can’t hear the world. It’s actually a game changer!
Note, i also own the bose qc 2 headphones, same price range. I love those too, but in the streets, i’ll only ever wear the airpods and at home, it’s a mix, 50-50, i like over ear style headphones and they never fall out or become loose like airpods can. Sound cancellation on the airpods blows the bose over ear style ones out the water.
Only flaw? I can see myself losing one of these down a drain grate one day, or having it crushed in a crowded street. They can fall out if you’re not vigilant, so be warned, this is the price we pay for such amazing things, there is a risk. For me i know the risk and don’t care, i’ll be careful.

ANC – really good, but can cause a pressure change in ear with some discomfort. Needs low/med/hi setting. On long road trips the ANC helps with ear fatigue due to road noise, but when driving around the city i use transparency mode for safety reasons.
Transparency – excellent, can have a conversation with music on low volume in background no problem. However, when in a very quiet space you can hear the noise floor being introduced by the dsp.
Adaptive transparency mode – the best feature and the future of ear protection. Prevents unsafe sounds from damaging ears. Things like dyson hand dryers and vacuums hurt my ears. I would be totally fine with wearing these to a live concert – in fact I did. While it wasn’t *perfect*, i still much prefer wearing these to ear plugs.
Sound quality – excellent! The auto loudness shelf increases low and high frequencies as you reduce the volume. I happen to like listening to music at a low volume so this suits my use case. Look up Equal Loudness Contour graph or “Fletcher Munson curve” for a better understanding on what and why this meaningful.
Microphone – I drive a loud 4WD and have always struggled with call quality while driving. I now use these instead and people I’m chatting to can’t even tell I’m in the car. No complaints on the microphone!
Battery – no issues with the extent of battery life. When the battery is low they will have trouble connecting to your phone, but it wont be obvious that this is the problem. There is a widget that tells you the battery life but I’m not always looking at it, particularly when driving. It would be nice if there was an audible indicator on the airpod after inserting to ear which tells you when the battery is very low. (Like some other competitor earphones have)
Issues – initially some crackling/popping while streaming audio, happens in transparency or anc modes, but after a firmware update this was fixed.
Case scratches far too easy, recommend a case for the case. Elgato silicone are not great/collect dust. ESR cyber armor tough case is fantastic and cheap.
Noise introduced from EMI with transparency mode on – have noticed this sometimes as i work in audio systems – when standing very close to equipment racks or busy electrical systems, sometimes noise is introduced through the AirPods. This doesn’t happen very often and will unlikely happen to most people.
The spatial audio setting – while watching movie or TV content has a sound, almost as if you’ve placed speaker inside a pipe. However, they have achieved the phantom centre image quite well. High-frequency distortion, accompanies certain speech aspects while watching video in this mode.
Conclusion – I am over the moon with these, after buying so many other ANC TWS buds, i have finally found ones that work extremely well. I can’t comment on how well they work without an iPhone, (I imagine not very well). They do have a little trouble connecting to Windows 11 laptop initially, but they do actually do a decent hand off from phone to laptop (dual connection). It’s not perfect, but ok.
Really solid –
I was a bit sceptical with airpods at first. I only got it for the form factor.
They do not have the best sound or noise cancellation. But they are a big winner in terms of practicality and functionality – especially if you have an apple device. And if you have multiple devices, then it is a no brainer.
There are some things that the airpods do really well. They connect automatically when placed into your ear. They switch easily between devices (usually automatically) when you begin playing a new sound. They pause when you take an earbud out. Using only one airpod automatically puts it in transparency mode. It is very easy to switch between transparency and noise cancellation.
I cannot say what the experience is like for non apple devices. But these little conveniences that save a few seconds many times per day, that make them delightful to use.

Disliked that I had to wait a bit longer (date of delivery promised got pushed back for whatever reason).
Loved every feature of the AirPods Pro 2, from the ANC and even the sound quality is great too. The biggest reason why I chose this over other options is because of how small it is so that it doesn’t look like a sore thumb when you’re wearing it. And secondly, the transparency mode is miles ahead of its competition. Overall an awesome product from Apple.

Airpods arrived BNIB and work fine.
However as another reviewer has mentioned, the warranty info is wrong. Check your Airpod settings, and you have to call in Apple Support, verify info, send documents, wait on phone, whole process took me 30 mins. Given all this trouble I would’ve just bought direct from Apple Store and gotten a personalised engraving for $20 more.

First, subjectively, I really like the AirPods Pro 2nd gen. Nice tech. Nice sound. Nice fit.
BUT!!!
The units that Amazon sells are apparently old stock. Genuine Apple product, but my headphones only had 7 months of warranty left. And the receipt Amazon provides does NOT include the serial number of the product they sent, so proving the purchase date to Apple is shady at best. After 8 hours back and forth with Apple, they supposedly have updated the purchase date for my AirPods, which should allow me to buy Apple care, but now I have to wait up to 5 business days for the corrected purchase date to appear on my device.
It’s a mess, and all to save a few dollars. Not worth it. Buy from Apple, get the full warranty, and save yourself the grief. I may still return these if apple can’t get my purchase date sorted.
