Audio Documentation on Apple AirPods Pro Second Generation

Description

Have you been in search of in-ear earbuds with wonderful noise canceling, terrific sound, and easy configuration? Do you want a customized fit, simple volume controls, and great range? We think we’ve found the answer, at least for us, and we’re delighted to share all about it with you.

Meet the Apple AirPods Pro 2

Hi. We’re Chris and Kim Nova, and we were very late to jump on the Apple AirPods band wagon. For one thing, we play in a lot of ecosystems regularly, including iOS, but also Android and Fire OS. We thought the AirPods (which we’d never seen in our lives) had to be overrated, and Kim was especially skeptical about the sound. “I mean, they’re little earbuds–how good can they be, right?” And then there was the issue of price. Were we really willing to put that much money down on earbuds? We thought not!

With the pre-release info about the AirPods Pro 2, however, we decided they were worth checking out, if for no other reason than the new included speaker right in the case, allowing you to find said case easily if lost. Would we actually use them for any length of time aside from maybe plane travel? We had no idea. We were hearing a lot of hype, but still weren’t sure if we really cared, That is, until a pair arrived at our house. Check out our thoughts and initial reactions on this Mystic Access podcast episode. And we weren’t the only ones to be impressed. Even those upgrading from older generations of AirPods have raved about the better sound, noise cancelation, and comfort of the pro 2 AirPods. Maybe the best news for those of us using VoiceOver is that you can configure them exactly to your liking independently via your iPhone.

Not an iPhone user? You aren’t left out. If you have an audio player which supports Bluetooth, the AirPods will work with it, too. You’ll lose a bit of functionality, but will still get most of the benefits the AirPods Pro 2 offer.

If you’re in the market for great earbuds, need a wow holiday or Birthday present, or are just curious what the fuss is all about, we’re offering comprehensive documentation so you can learn all you want to know about these dynamic little earbuds. Have an older version of AirPods? You’ll benefit greatly from most of this info, too. As always, we discuss the accessibility and usability of the AirPods in depth, so if you do decide they’re for you, you’ll be able to set them up and use them with confidence straight out of the box.
