    AirPod Pro 2
    Airpod pro 2So I have moderate to severe loss in my two years. Their doctor said maybe I wouldn’t even wanna get a hearing aid for the one year because it wasn’t going to help much but I do hear on that ear much better with the earbuds.So I found my hearing aid setting on my Ibuds. I can hear the guy opening soda cans and he’s about 15 feet away from me.So my wife is kind of soft spoken, and even if her head is not facing me and she starts talking to me, I can hear her.So I’ve been hearing this rattling noise in the car and I realize after four days that it was a turn signal that I can hear now with my earbuds. Now the hearing aid works while I’m listening to talk radio or music at the same time. I was thinking maybe the clicking sound was coming from talk radio.So I listened to talk radio for about 5 1/2 hours the other day with them before the battery went deadBut it came with this carrying case that is a little bit smaller than a dental floss case and it charges my earbuds quick.I have my phone set up where if I tilt my head up and down it answers and if I go side to side, it hangs up the phone call.The right air kept falling out, and I downsize the little rubber boot down two sizes.The right air kept falling out, and I downsize the little rubber boot down two sizes

      I’ve had my AirPods Pro Gen 1 for a while, and they were absolutely amazing—until I accidentally sent them through the washer (oops!). I tried going the budget-friendly route and picked up a pair of SoundCore earbuds, but after a short time, I quickly remembered why AirPods are the standard. I returned the SoundCores and grabbed the Gen 2s, and I couldn’t be happier!

      These earbuds are incredible. The setup is super user-friendly, and they fit perfectly thanks to the three different tip sizes, ensuring a snug, comfortable fit that stays in place even during workouts. The audio quality is top-notch—clear, rich sound that really stands out. The noise cancellation is a game-changer too; it’s so effective that I can block out the world, whether I’m at the gym, on a plane, or just trying to focus at home. The battery life is great. I use these buds daily and only need to charge them every other week or so. The design is sleek and clean and you can now control the volume using Siri or by sliding your fingers over the stem.

      I use them daily for workouts, frequent phone calls, and even travel. I can’t recommend them enough. If you’re looking for premium, reliable earbuds that just work, the AirPods Pro Gen 2 are totally worth the investment. I love these things—hands down my favorite tech purchase!

      I recently upgraded to the Apple AirPods Pro 2, and they have been a game-changer for my audio experience! These wireless earbuds offer exceptional active noise cancellation (ANC), which effectively blocks out ambient noise, allowing me to focus on my music or calls. The Adaptive Transparency mode is also a great feature, letting me hear my surroundings when needed without compromising on audio quality.

      The sound quality is outstanding, with rich, well-balanced audio that brings out the best in my favorite tracks. The Personalized Spatial Audio feature creates an immersive listening experience, making it feel like I'm right in the middle of the action.

      Overall, the Apple AirPods Pro 2 have exceeded my expectations in terms of audio quality, noise cancellation, and overall functionality. They are a must-have for anyone looking to elevate their audio experience. Highly recommend them!

      I’ve tried several hearing aid substitutes over the years, my past favorite being the now unavailable Bose Hearphones and costing $500. Rather than just a sound amplifier, these had several functions allowing you to filter and focus sounds in various ways and for various situations. They were pretty good.

      But now Apple has added some great features to their AirPods 2—features that function like far more expensive hearing aids and at less than half the price of the Bose product. I’ve owned these for a month or so and am now just getting the hang of how to use them. If there is a downside to these earbuds it is the rather deep and confusing tech included in them (or, at least confusing for a grandfatherly type like me). Once they are Bluetooth connected to your iPhone (They connect very easily with the button on the front of the EarPod’s charging case.) they should automatically connect every time you put them in your ears. You will then be able to access all the functions by tapping the “settings” app on your phone. You will find a heading near the top of the list just below the box with your name and iCloud options. Tapping on this will allow you to drill down through several pages of options. There are a lot of options there and it can be confusing, but experimenting with the various functions will help you figure out their purpose.

      The key here is to drill down to find the hearing test. This will quickly test for hearing loss by leading you through a series of tones of varying in pitch and volume. The end result will be an audiogram that can be used to program your EarPods as hearing aids. As stated before, it took me several weeks to find and activate this feature, but when I did a whole new experience dawned. Just be patient and search around for this function. It works very well.

      Of course, these things also serve as EarPods to listen to music or podcasts. (May I recommend “Pat Gray Unleashed!” if your bent is conservative commentary and just plain fooling around). The quality of sound is phenomenal and the buds are more comfortable than most to keep in your ears for an extended time. To control the volume for this function you can TRY to use the external control buttons located on those silly looking stems that hang out of your ears (good luck) OR just open the “Control Center” page (slide one finger upward on your iPhone screen to access this page) where you’ll find the volume slider. If your EarPods are connected and in your ears you’ll see the slider is marked as controlling the AirPods.

      I really like these things now that I’m a little more familiar with them. The quality and value are exquisite. If I discover more, I’ll edit this comment.

      4 MONTHS LATER: Apple has improved the controls for these in their latest iOS update. The functions I had to dig around to find are now more easily accessed. Getting to the hearing test is now fairly straight forward.

      Bought them cause i had old ones that failed on me. The noise cancellation was crazy when i first tried it and it works amazingly for planes, mowing and public places. right when i take them out they connect to my phone and start playing when i need just by tapping the side. These things are also pretty strong as i drop them from time to time and i see no damage. They fi tmy ear pretty well as they come with a couple different sizes which is very nice. Im very impressed with the 30 minute charging time as they last 7 hours on once charge and 30+ hours with the case being fully charged.
