These are amazing! Here’s a little breakdown of each part from what I’ve observed so far…Noice Cancelation: When it comes to noise cancelation, these are hands down the best earbuds I’ve had. I use them on the bus and it completely filters the chatting, air condtitioning, engine, and everything else. They being voices down to a whisper and if your playing music the whisper isn’t noticeable either.Transparency mode: I’ve used a few different earbuds with transparency but I never really got the point. Right when I tried these, I fell in love with transparency mode. I can listen to music while holding a conversation with someone! And it’s even better with the new adaptive transparency so the loud annoying sounds are still filtered out like in noise cancelation mode.Sound quality: I’d give the sound quality a 9/10. It’s clear, clean, and strong. The bass could be better, but it’s still an upgrade from the other AirPod versions.Other things: The fit! These are my first pair of AirPods other than trying friends. And wow! The fit is amazing, after a few minutes I practically forget their in my ears, but they don’t fall out! The battery life is good, but not as good as they claim. The AirPods themselves do last 6hrs, but the case only charges them a couple times so id say you can get about 15-25 hrs of listening on a full charge (which is more than I need so I don’t mind that). Spatial audio! I love it! I will never buy an earbud without spatial audio, it’s a game changer.So overall, these are awesome earbuds/AirPods and I totally recommend them to anyone with an IPhone or MacBook. The compatibility beetween the Apple devices is astonishing and i think I’m going to stick with AirPods. Hope this helped!
