I've reviewed 30+ earbuds but I still use 3-year-old AirPods Pro 2 — and I have zero plans to upgrade

In 2022, Apple introduced the AirPods Pro 2, which has remained the company's top pick for wireless earbuds. The reviewer, after testing over thirty pairs, cannot imagine using anything else. The earbuds boast exceptional sound quality, comfort, and seamless connectivity.

Sound quality is the reviewer's top priority. The AirPods Pro 2 strike a perfect balance between bass and detail, handling both ethereal vocals and powerful instruments with ease. They excel with various genres, from indie tracks to rock anthems, without sacrificing any aspect of the music.

Comfort is another crucial factor, especially for those with small ear canals. The AirPods Pro 2's design without the bump-out found in the newer models makes them more comfortable for individuals with smaller ears. The reviewer cannot wear other earbuds for extended periods, but the Pro 2 feels like they're wearing nothing at all.

Convenience is the third essential aspect. The reviewer values wear detection and seamless multipoint connectivity, which the AirPods Pro 2 provide flawlessly. Being designed for the Apple ecosystem, they seamlessly switch between devices like an iPhone, MacBook, and iPad, making them ideal for the reviewer's needs. Other earbuds with similar attributes exist, such as the Sennheiser Momentum 5 True Wireless, Status Audio Pro X, and Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, but the AirPods Pro 2 remain the best fit for the reviewer's requirements.

The reviewer acknowledges that other earbuds have excellent sound quality, comfort, and convenience, but the AirPods Pro 2 still hold their position as the perfect choice for their specific needs. Although they could be better in terms of battery life, the reviewer is content with charging them every other day. When the time comes to replace them, the reviewer plans to buy another pair of AirPods Pro 2, as they are available for purchase on Amazon and refurbished on BackMarket.
