The most underrated thing is this audiogram feature. I do not understand why Apple is not advertising it more. This completely changed my life. I am rediscovering all of my music library once again.
70/30 isopropyl alcohol is recommended by apple rather than the 90/10 and above you suggested. It will actually kill germs. 90 and above often evaporates too soon (which is why it’s used internally for electronics…very little risk of liquid damage because of the quick evaporation)
@@BrandonButch "with no issue" would really only be able to be determined if you're testing for bacteria etc. in a lab. you wouldn't be able to /see/ it, the point is 70 will remain long enough to kill bacteria, 90 will not. it's not about having issues, and it's not really a measurable metric.
As an FYI, you can long press the volume slider when your airpods are active to open the same menu as the "hearing" button without adding an extra button.
I just bought the pro 2’s on prime day, no matter how I set my settings the left ear drains in about 45 minutes and the right one last for multiple hours. I’ve tested it with auto switching of the mic, right only the left still drains 4x quicker, turned off all the modes same thing. Any thoughts?
I have had the worst connectivity issues with AirPods pro 2, they randomly lose audio and/or disconnect while simultaneously changing in and out of transparency and noise cancellation when they attempt to reconnect
One tip for musicians among us here ... if you have your AirPods Pro2 with adaptive transparency then it is really cool to use them for practising (me drums and guitar) as it is way better to hear yourself yet have the sound volume limited 😀
Can’t wait to try this. My musician friends are getting older and louder. I’m getting tinnitus. Earplugs make everything muffled. This sounds like a great option when IEM’s aren’t practical.
I’m confused. This video was published in February of 2023. The AirPods Pro 2 were released seven months later in September of 2023. Did Brandon get a pair that much in advance? Edit: the AirPods Pro 2 that were released in September of 2023 differ from the original AirPods 2 by having USB C, an upgraded stem interface, an updated H2 chip, improved noise cancellation, adaptive transparency and personalized spatial audio. AirPods Pro 2.5?
I have one doubt that i have airpods pro 2nd gen as i put my AirPods in case and keep it close then still Im seeing the battery of case and airpods charging on my iPhone in battery widget it is supposed to like that or what
Very informative video, is it possible to activate /on the ANC mode without playing any music. ( the reason that I don’t want to listen any music but at same time wants to stop the nuisance). Please clarify. TiA
Im old school and i listen to my ipod and i use wired earbuds. Now the very first thing i did years ago was to buy a set of back and white foam earbud protectors. I have never cleaned my earbuds. If they get dirty or ripped, i simply put on a new pair. They are super cheap and they actually make the buds fit more snug into my ear I know they would work for wireless as well. Easy to tell the difference, white is right- black is left.
This is a great video but with all due respect, this feature/suggestion is downright stupid. You can just tell the OTHER PERSON to hang up the call instead of telling it to Siri, like a normal human being 😂
i have a question and i also need help, my airpods won’t update i got them a couple days ago and they are stuck on 6A303 any help would be very helpful.
Bought 2nd generation few days ago...only problem is that they dont charge in case..only way to force them to charge in case is by plugging the type C cable... what's the problem?
Brandon, thanks for this. Lots of great tips. And I also agree about the Apple Watch charger tip. I have a MagSafe charger for my iPhone but I actually wear my Apple Watch at night so my phone can go on the mag safe charger and my AirPods Pro can go on the Apple Watch charger. Very convenient wireless charging for both.
On my iphone when the case is closed and i lock and unlock the phone they widget disappears until i open it again but on my ipad everything is fine. Is it the same for you? Did you fix it?
Hi, I wanted to ask you a question. I own second-generation AirPods Pro, with an iPhone 12. Why don't I own the hang up call feature with Siri? At least I can't find it under the siri and research setting. Thank you very much for the info!
My AirPods Pro 2nd generation light does not illuminate when tapped as it is charging… Tried charging with lightning cable, MagSafe, and Apple Watch charger, but still won’t show any light when tapped twice…
Also when your macbook's bluetooth is on and your AirPods is also connected to your phone, once you play something with sound on your MacBook it will automatically switch to what you are currently using, whether you play on your phone or on your MacBook or any apple device i think but not really at the same time.
I only got my AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) couple of weeks ago and I didn’t know about that case gesture! I was wondering how to know if my AirPods gets fully charged or not and now I can! Thank u so much Brandon.
Probably a n00b question, but I just picked up the 2nd Gen Pro (with Lightning charger case Model A3048) and I love them but I do not see some of the options you are selecting on your phone - for example 'Enable Charging case sounds', 'Optimize battery charging.' and 'Accessibility.' Any ideas why they are not there (iPhone 12)?
The air pod Pro-2 never disconnect and continues to drain the battery case and then the ear buds. Closing the case does not disconnect like with Pro-1. Bluetooth in General shows the PRO-2s not connected but the PRO-2 continue to discharge?????
Great to hear your funny story about Siri call hang up Brandon. I lobbied Apple long, hard, and prominently for this feature for accessibility reasons and it’s particularly satisfying to hear you recommending the feature for everyone!
Why I don't find adaptive transparency mode on my iPhone setting? I have airpods pro 2 from Apple store so isn't fake product. I use iphone 14 pro max ios 17 public beta Can someone help me with a response? Thank you
I haven’t seen this anywhere but I’ve been having so many problems with my air pods pro II, both the case and ear buds themselves have been replaced and nobody can fix them: When I make a call the earbuds just disconnect. Happens a decent amount when accepting phone calls too. When I finally get them to reconnect they just disconnect later. They’re also more prone to random disconnects in general than my old ass Bose QC35s I got when they first dropped. Idk what to do to fix this it’s so annoying.
mine lose audio but don’t truly disconnect when the buds are reconnecting themselves, one of the buds will start to fluctuate between transparency and muffled/noise cancellation and it happens so often with any devices they connect to
@@garyjustgary5059 yes, in fact majority of the time it’s easier to just complete remove the airpods from my device and reconnect them so the problem can temporarily go away
You blew my mind! Thank you for your wonderful video. I relate to you so much! Especially, for those Airpods users who don't know how to clean their buds and cases. Hahaha.
The custom transparency mode for me is really weird and buggy. All I can hear is myself when I talk and music sounds terrible. It’s probably just me being used to the normal mode though 😂
APP 2 Green light flashing and Chirping noise! I noticed the following pattern when I pick up the APP2 after them laying idle for a long time: The green light flashes for some time along with the chirping noice. Once I connect them to my Iphone then the green light flashing & chirping noise stops. Just wanted to check if this is normal? If not how can I stop this?
Mine do the same thing, I looked it up and it said that means one of the Airpods is not connecting to the case, don't know how to fix it but yours might not be connecting to the case correctly
Do you have the AirPods Pro 1st or 2nd Gen?
I have the pro
2nd generation! Love them!
@@fokuz2025 how are they holding up?

I have the 2nd gen and it rocks

100%
What do you mean
Maybe in some cases it can work. But for me after I made an audiogram the sound was much more quiet and muffled
It’s been years since I heard music like this

You don't think saying "hey siri hang up" would be more awkward than waiting for the other person to just hang up 😂

Seems like a defective unit. I'd get it fixed under warranty.
I don’t have the Siri call hang up section. Is there any reason for why that isn’t there?
You had Channel Orange playing in the back and i love that for you
I didn't know about the customized transparency mode. Thank you so much for making this video. I also needed a reminder to clean my airpods lmao.
I have 2nd Gen AirPods Pro they sound pretty good, I can’t wait to try these tips out.
Thank you! I just upgraded to the AirPods Pro and your video was really helpful.
Me without any Airpods, will Watch the ENTIRE 14 min video? YES
Same here, planning on buying ones soon and also hesitating because apple might announce airpods pro 3 gen this morning
@@daabderif you really want it that badly then maybe consider it if no the pro 3s is going to come early to mid 2025, maybe.

i got the lightning version of pro 2 and can confirm they also have these features except usb-c
4:46 whatever AirPod u put in first is the one to use the mic in automatic mode
Did Apple remove the custom transparency option? I have AirPod Pro 2 with USB-C IOS 16.7, but I don't see that page. I can either toggle it on or off.
Which sounds mood is good for talking? Because when I talk with someone they say not listening properly. Please let me know.
4:13 shows them being 1% apart and still showing seperatly

Yep. I have the gen 2 and when I’m at work I’ll put them in with no audio going and it’ll just make everything silent.
Bro, does it support multi-connect feature on ipad, mac and iPhone simultaneously ?
can you do one for features if you have an android and the airpods pro 2

You can do so much more with live listen than check your decibels, it’s literally a backstabber checker
How much did you notice between having Find my On /Off? I mean, do you feel like you have half a charge or you lose more than it?

How do you hear what you're saying in a phone conversation when AirPods in in your ears?
Wow... As soon as I clicked on this video, I got an ad for AirPod Pro 2s! Insane!
Thank you for the video, i tried to tap on my case like you did but it didn’t work

Only got my first pair of AirPods Pro recently. This video is invaluable! Thank you! Have 👍 and subscribed because of it.

Can't seem to find conversation boost on AirPod pro 2nd generation
Also when your macbook's bluetooth is on and your AirPods is also connected to your phone, once you play something with sound on your MacBook it will automatically switch to what you are currently using, whether you play on your phone or on your MacBook or any apple device i think but not really at the same time.
