AirPods Pro: first impressions

2022-02-21 15:43

Long story short. About a year and a half ago my O.G AirPods started to fall apart. And I decided to give Plantronics a shot since a large part of what I use them for are running.

It didn’t really work out that great for me. The user experience isn’t even close to AirPods and after a year they started to fall apart. And about a week ago they actually fell apart. So I decided to get new AirPods. I went with the Pro’s.

Here are the good parts:

  • I love how you just pack them up, open the case next to your iPhone and click connect
  • I also love that I can charge them on the same magsafe thingy I use to charge my iPhone
  • The sound is good for being pods

The bad parts:

  • The battery life seems worse than my O.G’s
  • It seems less intuitive to place this generation back in the correct hole in the charging case
  • I always hate the process of figuring out the correct rubber tips to use

This far I think they are a good for going to the gym or walking outside. But I never use them for music at home. They’re too small and bluetooth for that.

My ATH-M50x’es stopped to work on one of the sides about a month a ago after between 3 and 4 years of abuse. So I just ordered another identical pair.

Controversial opinion: Apple can you please move all the ports to the same side on the MacBooks?

When people bitch about Zoom…

I had the displeasure of going to a Google Hangouts meeting last week. When people bitch about Zoom, are they aware of how much worse Slack, Teams and Hangouts are compared to zoom? As in for doing video meetings.
