MPNs: MQD83ZA/A and MTJV3ZA/A23 reviews
Very fast and afordable products would highly recommend good quality Show details
Very quick postage and product was as described very happy Show details
I bought these to use as hearing aids (I have mild hearing loss). I have been extremely disappointed. I have attempted the hearing test about 50 times. It failed to give a result every time. Usually it assesses my left ear fine, but then says there was too much background noise to assess my right ear. The really annoying thing is that it makes me… Read more
start from scratch every time. I never get the option of just redoing my right ear test. I intend to take them back to the Apple Store and ask for my money back.
Not going to lie, being able to find the case using apples Find My is worth 5 stars alone. These are probably the most indispensable gadget I own.
4 stars Positives… - Has the best noise cancellation technology in any ear pods or buds and I tried many on the market. - Sound quality is excellent. Please note: it’s pretty good connected as is but I adjusted the equaliser to get the best sound outcome Negatives… - I have trouble keeping them in my ears when exercising. I have to keep adjusting… Read more
them. Samsung buds, fit better in your ear.
- tap controls much better on Samsung buds, although with apple pods, there’s no accidental taps when adjusting. So 50/50 on this one.
Despite the negatives, I do highly recommend this product!
For me, I’ll keep buying apple!
Best headphones i've ever used! – I purchased these in January of 2023 in the boxing day sales and they have been fantastic! I use them almost daily on my bus commute and just in general. The sound is excellent people who say they have no bass clearly weren't using them properly. Coming from Sony WH-1000XM4's i was super impressed by the sound quality and the noise canceling! They… Read more
also put up i fight! Mine have been dropped loads and they still are fine. The only thing that doesn't work now is the right microphone and that probably has something to do with the fact that it was dropped straight onto concrete! I have no plans to get rid of these any time soon as they still work awesome!
Airpods Gen 2 user – Impressive quality and performance. Durability wise, I'd say it was worth the money spent!
The product is missing a vital part – Would have been 5 stars but no hearing test having said that the sound was amazing Show details
Terrible product don’t buy it – The worst crap product I’ve ever had, audio from Mic is trash, connection is crap, terrible product I totally regret changing from AirPod 2 to AirPod Pro 2, don’t buy this crap, Show details
Android User with Apple Airpods Pro - perfect combination – I'm an Android user and I was using a Samsung Buds which came with the purchase. I only chanced upon the Airpods Pro because my daughter gave me hers. She uses the Pro and one day she lost the right earpiece. There was confusion with Apple in terms of getting a replacement so she bought a new set. However, the replacement did come through and thus… Read more
she passed on to me the one she recently bought. I paired it easy with my Android and was quite amazed at the noise cancelling features of the Pro. The battery is excellent and they really work well with my phone. So now I use it when I'm on the train, plane, the gym, etc. I used it recently when I went overseas and the battery lasted the entire 8 hour flight.
Great headphones for noise management, music, cycling, meetings – I have pretty badly damaged hearing, constant ringing and am now pretty sensitive to loud noise. Ideally I think a modern set of hearing aids with bluetooth would be ideal due to their sound management and day to day usefulness, but im not old enough for that. These are probably the next best thing I have found these headphones to be great. I… Read more
use them when using loud equipment in the yard. I use them when i ride my pushbike to work and it reduces loud wind noise and makes listening to music easy, as well as take phone calls. I use them in the office for phone calls and music. I use them in my old loud muscle car to dial out some of the loud noise but still be able to have conversation.
The smart buttons are great so you can start, stop, skip or adjust volume without having to dig out your phone or watch.
There are a lot of features they come with to manage noise, they have a mode to reduce any loud sounds over all the different modes which I like. It has a mode to let all noise through and i find this actually provides a bit of a noise boost which helps.
I find the battery life fine and luckily for me that just fit nicely in my ears and i wear them for a lot of hours per day normally without issue, they also stay put when i ride my bike which is a bonus i didnt expect.
The headphones are also not rated as ear plugs or reduce x amount of db. For me with a pretty average fit that is not tightat all, they block loud noise easily and are definitely a fine replacement for ear plugs for me with the bonus of being able to listen to music. I have a set of QC35's as well and I would say these are comparable in terms of noise cancellation.
Well worth the money and so glad I decided to try these. I also have the standard airpods as a good comparison
First crack at ‘earbuds’ – So in the mornings I start work early and am on my own, I’m an avid listener of podcasts, and a few friends kept encouraging me to buy some airpods so I could listen while I worked. To be honest, I didn’t know whether I would use them or not, so only brought the cheaper option from Apple brand. I contemplated a different product based on reviews… Read more
but just decided for ease of use to go this product.
Pros: - Clear as day, for listening or talking on the phone - Like how you can say answer to answer - I like how when you’re listening if a message comes through it’ll read it out to you
Cons: - I’ve had them since 28/12/23, and I’ve had to charge them three times. Other products had longer lasting charge on them, and were apparently waterproof - these don’t sit quite snugly in the ear so I’m conscious of them falling out and into a bucket of water or whatever else is laying around. - if I’m more than 15 meters away from my phone they cut out or become quite crackly
Again, not had a product like this before so to be objective this could be standard on all of these types of products!
Side note: I am half deaf so only need the left one I should get a discount haha, so if there is anything wrong with the other one I wouldn’t know.
Would I buy again? Yes. Would I buy the more upgraded one? Yes Could I live without them now? No
Can't live without – This is my first ever pair of airpods and I love them. I have quite small ears to hard to find a product that fits properly & doesn't pop out. These come with 3 sized in the ear tips that are for different-sized ear canals - I use the small and they fit perfectly, the other 2 sizes are too larger. The airpods are easy to control from your… Read more
device or the airpods themselves by pressing it different sections. They have noise cancellation & normal options to toggle between at the press of a button.
Airpods easily connect to any Bluetooth device including older ones. Only issue with older devices example earlier model ipods is that you can't control from the airpods themselves as you can with newer devices such as using siri or the controls on the airpods themselves but this doesn't bother me at all.
Sound is great & battery lasts a while as well. You can quickly top the battery up in as little as 15 minutes to commence using them again. I used them daily on my commute to work & while at work for listening to music!

Know better, choose better.
THE BEST IN-EAR AUDIO EXPERIENCE AVAILABLE TO MANKIND – I received a set of the Apple AirPod Pro (2nd Generation) as birthday present. I was previously a Dr Beat's die hard and was a little iffy on trying the AirPods. It took all but a single podcast to realize the AirPod's are a class above anything else available on the market in terms of in-ear audio experience. From noise cancelling to clearer and crisper audio levels, it is simply the best audio experience money can buy. Show details
Faulty Product and Zero Customer Service – The AirPods (2nd Gen) are known for their seamless connectivity and convenience, but my experience has been marred by persistent issues, primarily concerning unreliable connections and frequent dropouts. Despite my efforts in troubleshooting, the problems persisted are are ongoing, which led me to contact Apple for support. A revelation from… Read more
Apple that the coverage expired "over 1000 days ago" raises concerns about the authenticity and history of my product. Their suggestion that I might have purchased a pair of previously owned headphones from the seller adds an additional layer of uncertainty to this situation.
I have attempted to contact the seller for a resolution but have received no response. A product like these, where reliability and seamless integration are key selling points, experiencing connectivity issues coupled with the challenges with support by a company I have shopped with previously is particularly disheartening.
Wonderful sound - if you are in the Apple ecosystem! – These are my second pair of AirPods Pro. I seem to have lost the first - or my daughter happened to find them and use them! (If you know what I mean?) The fit and finish is great. The battery life gets me through the day. I cannot complain about their functionality or service. As I predominantly use Apple kit they fit into my ecosystem perfectly and allow me to move from device to device with ease. They just work. Show details
WOW!! Life changing gadget – My daughter bought these for my mums day pressie and OMG! They have changed my life. Have never use noise cancelling before and thought it was a gimmic or not useful!! But have surprised myself with the amount of times I’ve used this feature - bus, sports game, people standing next to you having a phone call, shopping, walking on noisy road! So… Read more
many different times I have used them and instead of extra noise being a problem I have been transferred into a new world! Apple phone/watch connects straight away (first time), control most requirements without looking at phone/watch, beautifully made, comfortable, sounds amazing! Could not live without! Do yourself a favour and get them.
Terrible for meetings – If you use the microphone and speakers at the same time, the volume is so low you can hardly hear anyone. I have to end up using my laptop microphone with the AirPod speakers. This should be highlighted a bit more when buying. I understand this might be a Bluetooth limitation but it should be known to buyers. Show details
Upgraded from airpod pro 1 to 2 – I can't believe I didn't upgrade sooner I'm a bass lover and my buds story started with powerbeats pro and I liked them but they lacked that bass but for boxing they were amazing so I bought the airpods pro for noise cancelling and sleeping cycling the 2 for the past 2 years I was happy then I was offered a good deal with Harvey Norman and some… Read more
gift vouchers later I got the airpod pro 2 and straight away I was blown away at the clearness and bass they really do sound better and the noise cancelling is definitely better but the bass woah so much better then it was still doesn't give the bass that my Sony overheads do but for pods it's definitely the best bass I've come across on the buds style. I find them just as comfortable as the last airpods and they don't hurt my ears even during sleeping they don't fall out im overall very happy with my purchase also should mention I'm using these with no issues on the samsung galaxy s23ultra.
Do Not Buy – Apple's product over the years have lost reliability that includes phones and airpods. First $400 for these airpods is completely overpriced and its not like a studio monitoring headphones that they are charging this much 2nd - they have issues like it shows 1. connected to the iphone but no sound 2. getting disconnected 3. if u r watching a… Read more
video on google chrome in the phone its gets disconnected intermittently.
So how this adds up to $400 worth airpods.
The older generation airpods connects well to my iphone and also the samsung frame tv but this new ones doesnt connect
I would give 0 / 5 stars here
Meh, I have the buyers remorse – Yes, they pair exceptionally easy, yes, they sound terrific, but the fact of the matter is I can’t wear these for more than half an hour without them hurting like hell. I’ve tried using the different silicone buds, but no difference. If I use the smaller ones, I can get an hour out of them, but the audio check tells me I need to have in the medium… Read more
ones which I simply can’t stand. Somebody is going to pick up a bargain when I sell them and go back to my Jabra elite 85+.
Best wireless noise cancelling headset yet! – Before owning these I had a noise cancelling Sony WH-1000XM3. I compared these 2 and these AirPods Pro were surprisingly better at noise cancelling than the Sony’s and the Sony’s were over ear wireless headphones. These are the positives: -The sound/music quality is awesome! Great bass and the loudest I’ve experienced yet. I have to have these on… Read more
70% volume as 100% volume is too loud. -Super comfortable, for home, gym and work life. -Great choose of ear piece sizes from extra small to large. -Noise cancelling is the best I’ve experienced yet. -Easy setup. As soon as I turned these on within 10 seconds they connected to my iPhone -You can change different ear pieces to suit your ear size. -Easy to pair with Windows laptop. -Wireless range is great dropouts as all Bluetooth devices should within 10-15 meters.
These are the negatives: -Expensive! $399 for a set of these. Be prepared to fork out a decent set of money for these. -Battery life is ok but isn’t as long lasting as the more budget Apple AirPod models.
Overall I’d recommend these to Apple or Non Apple users. But be prepared to pay a lot of money and ensure you have a charger near by as they can drain quickly if used heavily.
Very uncomfortable, will not stay in! – Yes the sound is good but they are so uncomfortable, even using different tips, differant angles etc etc. They fall out at the drop of a hat. For the price I do feel I havent got my moneys worth. If I could return them I would in a heart beat! The range is great. The bass when you push them into your brain is very good. The music and… Read more
"spatial" thing is great. The ANC is quite good...there just so uncomrfortable. There relegated to watching my apple TV whilst sitting still....but they still wriggle out. I prefer the cheap apple corded versions. Save your money...or make me an over!?!?
