I just decided on the AirPod Pros based in part on advice here. My work announced today employees get the Beats Pros half off for November (normally I get 25% off). Honestly, $125 is too good not to try them out. I’m going to go for the Beats Pro, and worst case I keep them for occasional working out and for trips if I decide I want the AirPod pros later.

I think you'll be happy with the Beats Pros, especially at that price. I bought a pair a month or so ago and really like them. I've worn them for over 6 hours in multiple sessions without any comfort issues. The sound is great - I don't think it's quite as good as my Sony MDR7506 wired over the ear headphones, but it's close. I don't regret paying retail.

Krispy Wafer posted:I'm really interested in first impressions on the Echo Buds. I know the process is more seamless with AirPods, but my AirPods already gently caress up and unsync the moment I hit play in an area where I don't want my music blasting at least once a week. How much worse can a non-Apple product be. I am also curious about these but I doubt I can pair them to multiple devices and I routinely switch between my iPad and iPhone. Occasionally my AppleTV also so I may be locked into the Apple infrastructure and will pick the Pros up this weekend.

I bought a pair as a surprise for my wife today (she runs marathons and poo poo so why not) but played with them a better part of the day...

I said I’d buy AirPods with a better fit if they were released. Ended up panic buying Powerbeats pro in the airport last week because I left my awful gym headphones on a bus. Oh well, I did get the Powerbeats on a discount.

I have a massive, pressing question to ask now: Where the gently caress are the Apple leather cases for the iPhone 11? Is the regular 11 not good enough for the one true case? OMGMYSPLEEN fucked around with this message at 11:47 on Oct 31, 2019 |

I got my new Airpods Pros yesterday, and I love them. As someone that couldn't wear the OG Airpods due to weird earholes, these new ones feel great! I will still be using my Sony over-ear WH-1000XM3 when sitting at my desk working, but Airpods will definitely be worn when going for walks and such.

Guh.. not that I don't think the color of my phone is nice, but historically speaking clear cases look great for about 25 minutes and then start to collect dirt and dust between the phone body and the case and it looks just nasty.

I primarily use my airpods for running so noise cancelling is something I don't really want. Any other real benefits you guys have noticed? I just had to buy a new pair of airpods because my old ones had terrible battery life and my dog finally ate them.

OMGMYSPLEEN posted:I have a massive, pressing question to ask now: You're exactly right. Thankfully, the Mujjo iPhone 11 leather case is better than the Apple Saddle Brown case in every way. Just buckle up for the patina process; it's full grain veg-tanned leather, so it'll start looking pretty nicely-worn in about a year.

They sound better by all accounts, are sweat/water resistant and ought to stay in better. There's also a mode that pipes in outside sounds instead of cancelling everything, though if that lets in say, voices, but still mutes cars it might not be ideal for running. I'm picking up a pair today and I'll let you know how that works after I walk the dog

Apple's leather cases are cheap poo poo anyway. "Genuine" is the lowest grade of leather, and it's a thin bit of that surrounding mostly plastic.

I've bought a handful of cases for the 11 and this is the one I landed on: https://www.amazon.com/Shockproof-iPhone-11-Generation-Translucent/dp/B07TV8P6BT I've tried cheap clear cases which are garbage, the DBrand Grip which is garbage, and Apple's cases are too expensive for the guy who's already spent like a hundred bucks and change on cases, who is me (and an idiot). This one is grippy in the hand, has good button response and is nice and simple looking. Even keeps the back slightly transparent so it looks really nice.

Ok. I ended up buying AirPods Pro and sound is better. Apple store wasn’t a good test area. Also the low profile is way better. They look nice. Wonder if there is a watch short cut to turn off isolation. Also, anyone recommend a wireless charger mat for my watch and AirPods? Housh fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Oct 31, 2019 |

Are all the tempered glass shields the same? Verizon seems to be selling these weird no-name protectors now, when years ago they were selling Zagg Invisible Shields.. now they don't offer them.

Wouldn’t it be easier to just hold force button thingie? I have the Nomad watch pad and it charges my iPhone, watch, and Pros fine.

Endless Mike posted:No, "genuine" is nearly meaningless and tells you nothing other than that it's made from tanning the skin of an animal. You can easily find high quality leather that says "genuine". You're technically correct, but no maker of high-grade leather would use that word, since it's not even a grade of leather. You'll see full-grain and top-grain, but they'll all tell you that genuine and bonded are the bottom of the barrel.

That was while listening to a podcast - if you blast metal you can drown everything out, as the pro's are a lot louder than OG airpods. The audio quality really is much better too

I picked up some AirPod Pros today. I've only had them for an hour but they are quite nice. My ears are two different sizes so normal airpods worked but were always feeling loose in one ear. But with one small and one medium tip on my pros they feel great. Noise cancelling is great too. I put them in and for a second thought my noisy home A/C had suddenly stopped. I also own a pair of Sony WH-1000XM3s and yeah, the Pros are not quite as good sound quality and in total noise cancelling but for portability they are FAR better. I can see myself using the Pros daily while my Sonys I only use from time to time.

I bought this case for my XR but ended up returning it after a week because the buttons loving suuuuuuuucked. Mushy and hard to press, I couldn't stand it. I got some leather knockoff from Best Buy that has metal buttons and it works well enough for me now.
