The AirPods Pro 2 have many features that I love, but these are the hidden ones that many people may not know about.

I find fascinating how this guy can talk fast and I still hear everything he says
I do tend to speak rather quickly. I try to slow it down, but somehow the videos just always end up quick
@@MikeOBrienMedia wow that's amazing
I watch him in 2x speed and still understand him lol
Duuude, well said
Fast thinker, which people who talks fast and personnally he talks quite slow
Adaptive transparency is honestly the selling point for me. I work armed security and one of my “what if” thoughts has always been hearing damage if god forbid I get in a gunfight at work. I can confirm in an outdoor range the adaptive transparency work super well. Granted YMMV as I only tested it outdoors with a Glock 17. So not the loudest of situations but definitely impressive.
If you have to be armed with a gun as security, you shouldn't be distracted by airpods lol.
💀
but I agree you have to love adaptive transparency mode :D
@@ghostdulac it was a “what if” as in I wonder if those would work. Also, majority of guards have podcast and such running as background. 12 hour patrols can get tedious.
Last thing id be worried about is ear damage from a gunfight bro. Im more worried about organ damage 💀
Using only one airpod in for noise cancellation is great if you are using a landline in a loud space. I’ll often do this at work since there is so much background noise and it can make hearing the customer on the phone a challenge.
noise cancellation only works when you have 2 airpods show up
@@lexi.525no it doesnt. You cant toggle it on in the settings
@@Kiisulaura2810 ty
@@lexi.525going to accessibility and selecting AirPod, it brings up a list of setting include One AirPod Noise Cancellation
Live listening is such a game changer for me! My mother has dementia and whispers mostly word salad and it’s super frustrating as I can’t understand her whispered needs due to my hearing impairment with background noises. Now I can hear her. A million thank you’s!!!
Thanks, Mike! All around clear, concise, and accurate -- I'm so delighted to have discovered you today👏
Is there a place you list these 25 with short description. Hard to get it all down and remember when there is so many things. Thank you! Enjoyed it!
I use active noise canceling in one AirPod all the time. It helps while on a phone call but you also have to hear what’s happening around you. The call comes through super clearly in on ear but you can also tell if your kids are fighting with the other.
This video is the user manual I wish all my Apple devices came with. 😜
Tapping on the case to see how charged it is is a game changer 👌🏻
Excellent. Learned a great deal. Thanks.
Hi! I haven’t watched any of your other videos yet and maybe you’ve covered this elsewhere, but could you talk about the different sounds the AirPods Pro 2 case makes and what they mean?
Here is one cool feature without much use but its cool nevertheless: if you personalize engravings on your pods case this personalization also appears on the animation when you pair the pods with your phone. Well the personalization actually helps to know your airpods from a glance. Me and my girlfriend had the 2nd generation and we mixed them until I put a sticker on mine. But an engraving looks so much better. Small feature but good to have. You didn’t mention that the case can also recognize if you put someone else’s airpod in your case, it will then alert you.
How do you personalize your pod case?
@@ay3514 ....actually, you are right!
Such smooth editing. Nice vid!!
Mike, Great informative video, thank you. I noticed you mentioned "comply foam tips." I've used their tips on other makes of ear buds and yes they perform better than the original tips but the problem I had with comply is fitting the ear buds back in the case. In fact on one set I had to remove the comply tips before setting the buds back into the case. Can you comment on this? Regards, Wayne
The Comply tips specifically do fit in the case. With the large tips you have to push down on the bud a little to make sure it contacts the charging part at the bottom, but it works totally fine.
This video was helpful! I didn’t know about the background noise feature- which I’ll definitely use.
Thank you!!!! For letting me know about the white noise👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 I had noooo idea.
This is the best review I have heard of the ipads pro 2 to date.
That was a pretty cool video -- thanks for putting out this content!
Hey cool video thanks! You forgot the beeping noise it makes when you connect to a charger instead of tapping the case, and when the battery level gets low. I would like to see the ability to control different noise options on the pros with different ears like the original Airpods tapping options on L and R ears. L ear transparency, off, R ear noise cancellation, off, etc. The only thing I can think of to use noise control modes for 1 ear is a for a phone call to block noise with noise cancellation or possibly for a hearing aid in 1 ear if you are partially hard of hearing in 1 ear with transparency mode.
Very informative. Thanks and great work
I didn’t know about the double tapping of the case on a charger that it tells you how charged the case is. That is awesome to know!
An extensive list of tips. Thank you!
I use Live Listen when I have one of my TV's on and I have to leave the area or in the kitchen when I'm washing dishes and I can hear the TV dialogue clearly. Great feature. Very useful and handy.
Thanks Mike for your in-depth review but I have come across a setting which gives you the option of toggling ANC with just one AirPod Pro (2) in.
I’ve used these at two concerts and it works perfectly to take the volume down from painful to comfortably loud.
Mike, I’m getting my firstAP PRO 2 next week. Your videos helped me zero on the version I want. Thanks mate.
was worth watching this just for the "hearing" item. I didn't know about that and I am always looking for white noise! Thanks!
Fantastic! Thanks!
you can tweak the EQ of apple music in the settings app, and there are plenty EQ options
Just bought my first pair of AirPods and they will be here tomorrow I'm so excited
Not sure why I just recently discovered you as you are so amazing and popular, so thank you Mike for your awesome useful content! You mention airpods pro 2 falling out of your ears and you getting something to resolve that, what is it as I am having a similar issue?
Ive used noise cancelation as hearing protection before its pretty awesome when you have nothing else
I was so excited to when bought my pros that I trashed the packaging. Thanks for teaching me all the features. Now I understand why they cost so much😊
I did not know you can just tap the case to check the charge without needing to press the button or open the lid, that's cool gonna try that. I use Comply tips also makes it sound a lot better then the tips you get. Pretty much knew all the others lol. I use them for both Android and Ipad Mini. Now got the new pros with better battery life and a tiny bit better when it comes to noise cancelling. I wish on Android you could use the Apple features but can only use them as normal.
Thanks for the advice 👌
Awesome video. I'm still on Android and loving it but this is a piece of tech masterpiece and I'm closer and closer to switching to iOS.
didnt know about the tap on the case to see the status... first useful video on tips... sick
Thank you Mike, nice video.
amazing, useful video! Thank you very much!!!
Thank you Mr. Bryan for the information, it is very helpful and easy on my brain especially at my age, where it is a challenge to keep up with technology.
Here is a nice little touch I found out today. If you have Apple supplied engraving on your AirPods Pro 2, this engraving appears on the 3D graphical representation of your case in the charge state pop up screen. I assume this works for other AirPods as well.
So cool!
🙂 I like that because I personalized mine with just a smiley face to make them easily recognizable as mine when we have three sets at the device charging area at the house. Then if I want to sell them later, the customization isn't a problem.
Can it be used for multiple connection at the same time? For example 2 or more apple devices at the same time
Question... I have an iPad that I can use for settings and location stuff, but I have an Android phone & and Windows laptop... will some/all of the settings stay the same while I use the airpods on the other devices?
Swiping up and down to control volume. Thx so much for the video mike
Forgot to mention about when the battery of the case is below 40% it will make a chime when the case is closed
Thanks for the airpods tips. I'm interested in the active listening.
Great work ❤
I love the music recognition feature
Did you mention the custom audio setup in headphone accommodations? I know you talked about spatial audio, but there’s also custom audio adjustment that gives you a number of options to choose from then basically customizes the eq to your liking.
Great video Mike! To drown out snoring, how do I turn on noise cancelation? And is there something better to keep the AirPods in ears for sleeping? Ty 😊
I’ve found they stay in my ears really well when sleeping with the Comply foam tips. Stay in the whole night!
Do you know how to resolve muffles sound on calls? I’m always being told that my voice sounds muffled. Thank you 😊
adaptive ambient sound is gonna be really useful for me at New Years and stuff so I can talk to my family still but then not be blasted by loud fireworks cause I'm sensitive to loud noises like that
Thanks Mike. Great information and all round quality , including visuals ,audio, time. Much appreciated. :0)
So helpfull and i learned a lot. Also good pace
Could you do a comparison between AirPods Pro 2 and Jabra Elite 7 pro?
Love the Guinness full fridge hahaha! thanks for the great content!
Great job. Lot's of jewels in here! Thanks
I’ve used Live Listen to continue listening to a lecture or presentation but I had to step out to use the restroom. A little niche, but it was much appreciated lol
Is thier tap for next track ? Or something to skip or return ?
Amazing tips. It’s my first time using AirPods. The originals wouldn’t fit in my ears skin forgot about them. I tried the AirPod 2 Pro and WOW. I had no idea and your tips sent me over the edge. They are now my favorite gadget. Thanks for the tips!!!
Really? What is the difference?
I was only wondering how to use them but these tips are amazing
Love the drawer full of Guinness!
Great video !
Thanx Chief O'Brien 💫
Hi, Android user here. Received airpods for Xmas! Very nice, is there an app you could recommend to "find " and/or control some of those cool features you mention?
Thks for the great vid,is there a way to remove the noise when you sleep with your AirPods and the battery run s out,it does wake you up if you fall asleep and that super annoying 😵💫😵💫
When you said "someone drops a piano beside you..." I hit subscribe. You make me laugh like that, you have a loyal fan for life! Love what you're doing, Mike. Keep up the great work!
Do this for the Galaxy Buds2 Pro as well. Thank you in advance.
I have had my Air Pods for about a year now! They are phenomenal. I love them. I recently bought more tips to change up the one’s that came with the Air Pods. However, there is one thing that does concern me. That would be what do I do when the battery needs changing? How difficult will that be? It concerns me because I once owned some Beats by Dre. and the battery went out. I just put them into a drawer and have not done anything else with them. Can you answer my question? I would appreciate it. Peace.
You can setup a custom audiogram to tailor the EQ to your specific hearing profile. There’s free apps that test your hearing and create one to use under accessibility.
Any one come strongly recommended from you? Sounds very useful.
They work perfect as hearing aids when you put your audiogram in the health app
Didn't know I could tap on the Airpods to check the charge level. Nice!
Being able to use the phones mic instead of the AirPod mic may really help when I sing Karoake on my Smule app. Then I can bring the phone near and far to better my volume when I sing… hopefully it will let me hear myself on the airpods when I sing like it does on my earphones with the cord because currently it doesn’t so it’s hard to hear yourself sing with the airpods on when the beat is playing in your ear… I will definitely try and see if it works for my 1st generation AirPods. I don’t have the new ones
I really appreciate your in-depth knowledge regarding the AirPods Pro 2's! I’ve had mine for only a few months and after watching your video, I now realize that I’ve only been using about a 10th of their ability! ( Yes, Boomer Here) the mentioned foam ear tips are going to be a God send, I actually purchased an Apple Watch 8 at the same time, and I’m doing PT X2 a week and the gym X2 a week but because of the slickness of the silicone tips I’m constantly dealing with one or both of these falling out! I actually purchased the same brand of foam tips from Amazon when I paused you for a second. I’m still having trouble with using the pro 2's adjusting the volume on the pods themselves. But I’m sure feeling more confident about trying during the workouts than before. I just figured out how to get off the streamed music from my watch, so that’s a win! LOL keep up your good work! We boomers need you!
Can you use them as a shutter release for the camera?
I saw a Carvin SX200 in this video. Does that amp still work?
What’s that sound at 1:22 when he opens and puts the AirPod back in to the case? I’ve noticed mine do the same, and it’s not the same sound as when you charge them.
Hey @Mike O'Brien, have you ever considered reviewing Polar devices? I know you use the Polar heart strap but I was wondering if their watches were any good. Love the videos and the work you do, keep it up!
Thanks, I didn't know about some of these. Going to try them now!!
Enjoy :)
Hey I really hope you see this. I am going to buy EarPods tomorrow and I am really stressed and don’t know wich EarPods should I buy EarPods pro, or EarPods 3.
I'm a musician. I suffer with hearing issues for a long time. Yesterday I had my reshershal. I used noise cancellation with my air pods. The best rehearsal I've ever had
Guy is amazing rattling off these tips off the cuff
This vid was SUPER helpful! I never know how to use them except put them in my ears. 🥴
When I walking with my old airpods I use to tap it twice to skip a song and 3 times if I wanted to go back. It is that possible to do same with these ones?
You forgot to test out custom audio set up , it takes you through a series of eq options ‘which is best. ‘ 1 or 2 3/4 times and the difference is astounding!
Cool tips 🖖
I’m in Apple overload so this helps. Thx
Such a helpful video I’m surprised on how many features I didn’t know about!
“someone drops a piano next to you”💀
so relatable
Yeah I hate when that happens. Thankfully the airpods save my ears
Would adaptive transparency reduce the sound of a lawn mower/ string trimmer? I’m a landscaper and need the noise protection but it would be great to still be able to hear others around me
Yes
I am as well and i use mine for that reason its a blessing for the ears
Is it normal to have a white noise sound (kind of like a very faint raining sound) when using Anc and transparency mode?
If paired with android phone, how to access any features? Any apps?
Just got AirPods Pro 2 - using on an iPhone and my android phone.
Wow, from the set up onwards, its brilliant. Audio quality is top notch, call quality and ANC. And very comfortable!
Wireless charging is great.
I've had wireless ear buds and earphones from Sony, Bose, Anker, Lypertek, Edifier and a few others.
The AirPods Pro 2 are about as good as decent £150 wired IEMs with all the other benefits of wireless.
Your hints and tips were great. Though you said you can't EQ? There are lots of options in the music app under settings. The "Late Night" bumps up the volume and there are plenty of variations on U shaped etc.
And quite a few ios apps to play with as well:
Equalizer+ HD music player
Boom: Bass Booster & Equalizer
Flacbox: FLAC Player Equalizer
Equalizer Pro +
jetAudio - MP3 Music Player
Music Player X - Equalizer DJ
Evermusic Pro
Equalizer
Audio quality and noise cancellation is not top notch on the AirPods or the 2nd generation. I use everything 🍎 but there are better ones in the market and that to half the price or less.
@@shayer14 yes there are better sounding, obviously depends what source you're using. If you're using Spotify there's no where near the same quality possibilities as using Apple music on android (not surprising as Apple music is all lossless or hires lossless but Spotify is compressed).
I've used several wireless earbuds including from Anker, Edifier, lypertek, creative, Sony... I wouldn't use Edifier again (sounded good, but hardware was poor over time, app reliability bad and I wasn't keen on the spam it sent out in Chinese). Issues with others included issues with swapping devices and total lack of firmware updates, mediocre anc, back ground hiss rather than quiet, uncomfortable after a while, poor call quality ... I've tried the AirPods Pro 2 (including on android) and they have the best combination of audio quality, anc, pocketability, call quality and additional features. And they're the only ones I've tried that manage with the sharp noises on the London underground. And it's easy to return them.
Luckily there are plenty of options depending on what's important for you. For audio quality the B&O EX are probably the best though they're a lot more expensive. Sennheiser momentum TW 3 are also very good (and reduced from time to time). The Sony link bud S are around £120 and incredibly comfortable, great app but not as good on anc or sound quality as the AirPods Pro 2. The liberty 4 aren't on sale here (and I wasn't so keen on the other soundcore ones I tried).
If you're after just audio quality, a good set of wired IEMs is a better route. The Truth Ear Hexa for under £100, the Tangzu zetian wu Heyday for under £200, or the new sennheiser ie 200. And for £20 the 7hz Zero are incredible value for money for the audio quality (and responsiveness for gaming).
Problem these days is finding phones that support wireless. My LG v60 is on its last legs with its 3.5mm headphone socket and sd card - rarities in android (expect Sony and Asus). However, I have a lightning headphone cable that I can also use any mmcx compliant IEMs and I do use those sometimes as IPhones output truebit audio whereas most android phones downsample because of the android layer (though there are ways round that).
Andy the Bose ear buds are by far better in sound quality the then the AirPod pro Gen 2. And this is coming from a guy who is a Apple Slut
Can I record voice memos using the air pods ? I am unable to find anything possible to record audio’s with the air pods.
You miss one. I can change my iPhone or AirPods on my iPad Air if I like. One of the reasons I got it. Anyway do the ear pads come in many colors? Would be fun to add color to them that way.
sounds good, and sounds good 😮💨
I have used airpods pro 2 as ear protection while shooting, not an ideal solution but it worked
Where did you get your wallpaper from?
Thanks a lot for this very interesting, intuitive and professional video.
Regarding listen to ANC with only 1 ear: I am SSD = Single Side Deaf and therefore ONLY USING THE RIGHT earbud.
As an Android user, i've actually charged my friend's iPhone a few times using reverse charging. And each time they're amazed. Also super handy when I'm traveling with my airpods.
@HN iphones suck
I’m happy with the grip of the silicone in my ear.
If the left one falls out why not get the larger tip?
