A smarter case, better active noise cancellation performance, and much better sound quality.

        vrvly, 17 Oct 2022Hard to find frequency response good out of box, those are ... moreIf you want a reference, the Airpods Pro 2's frequency response is a weird concoction of the Airpods Max's low ends, with some Harman spikes and a mostly IEF-neutral response. It's certainly not bad, but it doesn't isn't like the mainstream muddy bass-boosted stuff.

            Hard to find frequency response good out of box, those are more capable than xm4 then.

              Do you think airpods pro 2 or or Huawei freebuds pro 2

                    I had the original Pro and it sounded so bad that I thought I gotten a fake. Cross check with my friend's pro, sounded exactly the same. We both agree the cheaper lower end Airpod sounded better.

                    I've read reviews on the Pro 2, and people are saying the old Bose and Sony 1000XM3 still sound better.

                    So don't bang on this Pro 2 to sound good folks. Get the cheaper Airpod 3 instead, if sound quality matters more and the apple eco sys.

                      After years of trying different earphones I stayed with airpods pro, simply best form factor. Sadly galaxy buds series has such a horrible ugly shape that comes off from the ear. Btw I use airpods with Android phone because iphones are unusable with one hand due to no back gesture:)
