Apple AirPods Pro (1st Gen.)
ANC, Wireless
Product rating for Apple AirPods Pro (1st Gen.)
Good product but not flawless
As expected, the Airpods are top-notch. The ANC is great and probably even brilliant for in-ear headphones (I don't have a comparison). Of course, it fits perfectly into the Apple (iPhone/Mac/Watch) ecosystem. There are moments when I switch from iPhone to Mac, for example during a team call, that the headphones need about 2-3 seconds until the mic is active, so the other party can't hear me, but I can hear them, which takes a little getting used to and was quite annoying at first, because I always had to/was allowed to greet everyone twice...
One star deduction because the one earpiece had two strange drop-outs within 3 weeks, where it made strange cracking and "shuffling" noises and the headphones couldn't be used.... Putting it in the case and waiting 5 minutes solved the problem, but it leaves a bad taste and a latent fear that it will soon give up the ghost... too bad for such an expensive product.
