just tried out the AirPods Pro on a 3:30 flight to the west coast and man was I impressed. Was worried after reading a review on Reddit but these are better than serviceable. Based off his review i think he was hoping the noise cancellation would be as good as the QC35 standard. It’s obviously not.
that said he kept talking about all the sounds he could hear. I assume now he was referring to the noise with no audio or music playing and was just trying to cancel sound. Not sure. I will say, if that’s your goal, don’t do them. However, with music or movies, with ANC on , and the fan blowing directly on me, I could hear nothing including the captains chime ins with music at 40%. I was totally wowed. I thought I’d have to be at or close to full blast to get that level of noise cancellation.
Hoping on another flight now but for flying these work extremely well unless silence is what you are looking for.
the only complaint I can find for me so far with APP is lack of soundstage.
Thanks
