Reviews by Topic

Our analysis shows how reviewers feel about different topics. Please note these are not full reviews.

Battery Life

I really wanted to love these...

You can still hear some loud noises, but those are muted significantly. As for Transparency mode, it amplifies outside noise so you can be aware of your surroundings while listening to music. This was quite helpful while I was walking on the street and did not want to be completely isolated from the outside world. Overall I'd say these two features are a solid 10/10 Battery life: On paper Airpods pro have less battery life than Airpods 2 (4

Inferior to Jabra 65t

The upside is that those both made me slightly sick when noise cancelling was on whereas the 85t's caused no such issue. In summary, I'm returning these and keeping my 65t's. Frankly, other than the better batter life and faster charger these are a step backwards.

Sound Quality

My in-store AirPods Pro Max Impressions

>The Apple AirPods Pro have a fairly neutral sound profile, suitable for a variety of audio content. While they struggle a bit more to produce thump and rumble, they lack less bass than the [Apple AirPods 2 Truly Wireless which have an open-back design

Buggy behavior harms what should be outstanding earbuds

They provide a level of detail that my cheaper true wireless buds absolutely do not. -They're small and light, which makes them comfortable. They don't budge once I put them in and I pretty much forget they're in my ears. They work just as well for a workout as at the office

Noise Cancellation

Good pair of bluetooth noise canceling earbuds?

If you’re using them with Apple products, it’s basically a no-brainer buy for the AirPods Pro. The ecosystem integration is absolutely awesome. The noise cancelling is fantastic, and transparency mode is super useful if you need to quickly hear voices or wear them while outside for awareness.

*The Active noice cancelling and audio sound was great. I mowed a lawn on the second day I owned them. I turned on the noise cancelling. This made the mower and string trimmer a quiet as they were when I used only earmuffs

Fit

Good sound, poor fit.

The sound quality is good, The in ear fit is not good, I tried all 3 sizes of the supplied silicone ear tips and none fit properly. I tried the proper fit app on my iPhone and could not get an "Okay" on the app. I don't feel they fit securely enough, so I will only use them when I am seated. The Air Pods are not comfortable for any lengthy listening session

Not for everyone!

Almost all of them agreed on the Jabra Elite 75t's, or at least gave an honorable nod to them, even if they didn't include it in their lineup of the best buds. So I thought I was locked in to something good, and I was very excited and hopeful. But, on the first day I was very disappointed. The earbuds almost did not fit at all, and fell out after a couple seconds

Bluetooth Connectivity

Should I get the Sony WF-1000XM4?

Particularly if you're going to use it with an Apple device, consider the AirPods Pro. You'll find a bunch of comparisons online like this

Great, with some quirks if your primary usage is for home office.

2ish is likely the version most likely being used by my devices these connect to. That said, the range is OK, not great; ANY interference by way of doors/walls/obstructions after a distance of about 10 ft will severely diminish the signal to the point where you won't be able to discern the audio you're hearing. I will kind of give kudos here for their ability to remain connected - even over a poor signal - but that's really moot if you can no longer hear anything because the audio has to travel through obstructions. To be clear here: this is not necessarily a hit against Jabra, so much as the nature of BT connectivity; it's just not very distance-friendly in general

Comfort Level

Comparison to Sony WF1000XM3s and new Bose QuietComfort earbuds

I will note that I get complaints on voice quality when using the PX7s as well. 3. Comfort - AirPods Pro with Comply tips, Sony, Bose (VERY last). 4

Not quite there for me... but will update

Was pretty confident with this purchase and pulled the trigger... Had it now three days of YT viewing ~2hrs a day, switching the HearThrough feature on and off to drive and speak to customers, and tuning the Sound+ app's EQ to tailor my music tastes elsewhere

Comfort

Great airpod investment

So I decided to purchase the pros since they won’t slip as easily as the original AirPods (Let me start by saying they came pretty fast, and they were packaged safely!) I’d say this is a great investment, it’s very comfortable and from what I’ve gathered so far on these is you can answer your calls, skip and rewind back with your music as well, it’s very sound proof so if you’re one of those people who do best getting tasks done during work, school, or even at home without noise around you, these are the way to go. I hope this helped someone! :)

Nice headphones hobbled by bugs

The 75t are comfortable enough for me to wear for hours. * The small charging case is pretty great. The case on the 65t was bigger, so big that I didn't want to carry it in my pocket. The 75t case is small enough to put in my pocket, and I love that it's constantly topping up my headphones throughout the day

Durability

Pi7 great sound everything else meeeh

I’ve used airpods pro for 6 months heavily, i’ve a/b tested noise cancelling on airpod pro with these...These are better beside a busy road or air con unit

Jabara you’re good, but like Ricky says, “You’ve got some ‘splaining’ to do.”

For that I say, “buyer beware.” Today on my walk, I had to check on the left bud because it dropped or didn’t work after 1 minute of putting them in. I tried putting them both in the recharging case multiple times, I checked my Bluetooth, .

Warranty

AirPods just died and with Spotify Hifi otw what cans should I invest in?

You should definitely take them to an Apple store, they will probably replace them for free even if they are out of warranty. Last month both of my AirPods Pro (bought on release date, so they were out of warranty) died and had terrible static in both ears. I made an appointment with the Apple store notifying them of the issue, and when I went they ran some tests and just replaced them afterwards at no cost. I’m pretty sure it is a fairly common issue, because they have a dedicated replacement program

Positive

Updated.... Corrected Customer Service

Obviously they don't test them. Now they are making me start all over again with the warranty process from scratch. More forms.

Price Point

Apple-level quality at Apple-level price

I’m sorry. I can’t recommend this product. If Sony US team is reading this review and if Sony Japan is designing all the products, please tell the Japan team that you don’t need to make too many half-baked products. You just need to offer 3 tiers of products (aka “good”, “better” and “best”) and focus on making sure they are the best products at their price points

AirPods Pro who? Stop searching. Jabra 85T is the God-mode of wireless earbuds.

Jabra's T series will always be my go-to for sound quality, features, and overall value. Please, do not waste your money on AirPods or AirPods Pro. Apple's pod style headphones pale in comparison to the Jabra T series products in both audio quality, battery life, and especially comfort.
