I’ve got to be candid, while I thought theAirPods Pro 2reveal was impressive, I was left wanting a little bit more when the dust had settled. After months of reports I was excited to see the rumoured redesign, support for hi-res audio and perhaps a mysterious “one more thing”, but in the end what I saw revealed was a strong new pair oftrue wireless earbudsthat seemed competitive but not notably market leading.
Now, look, I’m sure that if you’re a fan ofAirPods Proalready then the new H2 chip is going to improve your noise cancelling and connection stability, and the improvement to theAirPodsPro’s battery life is useful, too. There’s no doubting that AirPods Pro 2 are a notable upgrade over AirPods Pro.
The thing is, though, I test a lot of theabsolute finest, bleeding edgetrue wireless earbuds on the market and, right now, my attention is firmly focused onBose’s newQuietComfort Earbuds II, which from what I’m reading are shaping up to be thebest noise cancelling earbudsof 2022.
Why I’m excited about Bose’s new true wireless earbuds
I do two kinds of listening: to music when I’m home, and to podcasts and music when I’m out and about. For the former noise cancelling and portability don’t matter, just sound quality, and right now I have AirPods Max for that. And when I’m out and about, it’s become increasingly obvious that I need to get a pair of noise-cancelling buds. As much as I love myAstell&Kern UW100,Cambridge Audiosand other great-sounding true wireless earbuds, they can’t compete with the rumble of Glasgow’s Subway trains.
Well, hearing this from Lee has at least ensured that I don’t buy AirPods Pro 2 until I’ve tested out the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II. Needless to say, T3 will be reviewing both sets of ANC true wireless earbuds, so check back soon for the full picture.
