Automatic and seamless switching between Apple devices probably. If you’re on your iPhone and start playing a video on your MacBook or iPad while the AirPods are in your ears, it will detect the AirPods see in and ask you if you want to switch the AirPods over the MacBook or you can set it to automatically do so.

In terms of AirPods Pro 2nd Gen. Overpriced. Sound quality not impressive for price point.

Functionality on it’s own and with other apple devices? Satisfying and impressive.

Some examples:

With most modern apple devices, macbook or iphone etc if you are listening through external speakers on said device and then put the AirPods in your ear, it automatically switches to output to the AirPods.

Noise cancellation is really cool and great for silencing all white noise and mostly silencing louder sounds. I can still hear say, a tv at an acceptably loud volume, but its very muffled though still there. The feature does mostly work just not 100% noise cancellation. You can also switch to “transparency” mode to let external sounds in. Ive also been told they can work as de facto hearing aids, and will focus on someones voice and silence out other sounds and amplify their voice. (Haven’t tried that out)

All in all the features are great, just wish noise cancellation was 100%.

At the end of the day, for a product that is at its core an audio device, the sound quality is not worth $250.

The dynamic island is pretty meh. Thought it was a gimmick when it’s released, more so now that I have one. Still don’t understand why they went this route. It protrudes into your content even more. (Yes live activities are nice but notification does almost the same thing)

However I’d say you’ll miss the pro-motion screen and the cameras more than the dynamic island.

If you are talking about the new pros they probably are the best for voice. They are damn good when it comes to noise cancelling too (to me better than the wf-xm4s). I own 6 pairs (4 galaxy buds, a pair of wf-xm4 and a pair of air pods pro) and its the only pair I recommend among these for calls. Not that they are just better than the rest, the rest are absolute shit for calls. The airpods Pro are not the most comfortable though, and excluding calls not even the best. That would be the gaxy buds +. There have been times that I simply forget that I wore them. The battery life is so good that you forget they are even wireless. They are good to the point that I have two pairs and am considering hoarding a couple of more, in case Samsung decides to halt production.

No. If you kick it out of iCloud it will only stop tracking and locking. Everything else stays. Might not update but will not erase your pics or messages out of it. Is better if you send a erase device, then after confirmation, delete from iCloud. But remember, if you delete from iCloud, anyone can take ownership of the device. Also, icloud has nothing to do with the store.. they might still use the store or even the wallet. If your device was stolen, you can lock it, erase it.. but do not take it out of iCloud…
