Can we talk about the Rtings meassurements? Achieving -19.5db in the bass range with ANC on is absolutely insane, and indicates these are more than good enough for airplanes -- in fact, it's about on par with Bose over-ears!
I suspect Youtube reviewers stating the XF-1000xm3 is better than Airpods Pro only compared in coffee shops. That kind of noise obviously matter too, but let's be honest, when commuters like me wants good ANC, we are mostly concerned with the abillity to block the bass range. At least I am.
Rtings concludes: «The Apple AirPods Pro offer similar performance to the Sony
WF-1000XM3 Truly Wireless but have much better ANC.»
Yeah, that about does it for me. My only concern at this point is the slight dip in mid/upper bass, paired with a slight mid boost. I usually prefer a moderate V-shape (love the sound of my wired B&W P7, although upper bass is definitely too much for my liking -- treble is excellent though). How does everyone like the sound signature of the APP?
