Bought the AirPods Pro 2 after their Sony XM4s died and was surprised how good they sound: clear definition where every instrument can be heard, even over AAC.

positivedetailed

Switched to the AirPods Pro 2 after their Bowers & Wilkins in-ears broke and finds them just as amazing, with excellent integration with their other devices.

positive

Has used the AirPods Pro 2 for over two years and they are still going strong; the ANC is excellent and the sound good enough that they reach for them over most of their IEMs.

Loves their AirPods Pro 2 and has no desire at all to upgrade to the newer generation.

positive

Owned the AirPods Pro 2 for a while but they kept slipping out of their ears whatever eartip size they tried, especially during workouts.

negativeuncomfortable

Has used the AirPods Pro 2 daily for two years for Zoom calls and workout music and calls them nearly perfect as true wireless earbuds, with zero complaints.

positivegreat mic

Prefers the AirPods Pro 2 over their other earbuds and headsets, but the rubber eartip cracked before six months, which they found poor quality for the price.

Despite owning several well-regarded IEMs, still uses the AirPods Pro 2 for music most of the time.

Uses the AirPods Pro 2 only for calls; finds the low end bloated and undefined, the sound dynamically flat and poor with transients, and preferred the first generation by a mile.

negativemuddy

Still uses the AirPods Pro 2 daily and calls them an outstanding in-ear for everything they offer.

positive

Really enjoys the sound profile of their AirPods Pro 2, probably more than their Sony WH-1000XM4 and Sennheiser HD 560S.

positive

Liked the AirPods Pro 2, but the left bud gradually works its way out of the ear, and with age it has started buzzing and crackling.

mixeduncomfortablebuild quality issues

Bought the AirPods Pro 2 at launch; the ANC was a godsend for walking to work every day and they were very pleased with the sound quality.

positivegreat noise cancelling

Uses their AirPods Pro 2 outside; good, with great ANC, though not better than their headphones.

positivegreat noise cancelling

Has mostly switched to the AirPods Pro 2, whose tips are better and less floppy than average, though SpinFits are still slightly better.

positive

Has the AirPods Pro 2, but their Bose QC Ultra earbuds stomp them for ANC on planes.

mixed

Uses the USB-C AirPods Pro 2 while cleaning houses and they constantly slip out of their ears.
