Another Unboxing Review
Hello Everyone, Ceddy here, And I'm back again for another tech unboxing review.
Without further ado, let's go ahead and start this review.
I've been waiting for 3 months and now, I finally got the package from Apple.
I've been longing to have one of these and finally, I have one.
I am talking about the Apple Airpods Pro. I am a fan of Apple products, starting from the iPhone, iPad, iMac, Macbook and my first ever Airpods (First Generation)
Ecosystem, It matters a lot.
I really love the ecosystem of Apple as it works perfectly across all the devices and the operating system is top-notch. I'm not biased with Apple, Android is good, my first ever android phone was the LG Mini 2 and I was using a Blackberry Storm (its horrible by the way, though I don't have a choice Wayback 2013), Android is very customizable however nothing compares to Apple when it comes to user experience.
So, going forward, I finally got the Airpods Pro. The Airpods Pro was released way back on October 30, 2019. This is the latest AirPods from Apple. Unlike the first and second generation (they have a universal fit), however the silicone tip size of pro is customizable. So if you have a small ear way canal, you can change the silicone tips to small. In default, the medium silicon tip is already attached to the AirPods pro upon purchase.
And by the way Folks, I don't want to provide any deeper specs with the product, hence I'm just going to share with you my first impression and my experience with the Airpods Pro.
The packaging and the experience.
Moving forward, as always, the AirPods pro packaging is so simple yet elegant. I've been unboxing a lot of products, but I really love to unbox any Apple product. As there it seems different from the rest of the other products that I unboxed. It's weird but the experience is so satisfying.
The noise cancelation feature is so good. It works like magic.
The first time that I put the Airpods in my ears, I was so shocked and surprise (Yes, you can see me on the video, Totally speechless for a few seconds) Why? It's because of the noise-canceling feature. This is the reason why I was excited about this product because it has this new feature.
Upon using the Airpods Pro, the noise cancellation will activate immediately. I was inside the saloon and the noise of the washing machine in the other room and the noise of the AC was gradually filtered. I can hear only myself it works like magic. Yeah (lol). So if you want to move from noise-canceling mode to transparency mode, all you have to do is to long-press the stem of the Airpods, either left or right.
All I can say is.
I'm not a sound guy professional-ishh, I'm just a regular guy who uses this AirPods, I cannot fully justify the sound quality and other "thingy things" that sound professionals can explain. But all I can say is the bass quality of this AirPods Pro is far better than my first generation. Think about high-quality sound. I have even noticed some of the vocals of "Fireflies" by Owl City, and the instruments which they used were so rich to listen compared to my first generation of Airpods.
Trying the Airpods Pro. (Inside the bus)
Using the Airpods Pro inside the bus, Is quite impressive. The hums of the bus were gradually decreased. It's not totally canceled out but I was able to enjoy listening to the tracks and watching movies from Apple Tv+.
Anyways, enough with the first impression. Let's go ahead with the quick unboxing.
So let's start with the packaging.
These photos were taken using portrait mode via iPhone 11
Look at this stunning box. Every time I see this picture, it's oddly satisfying (weird eh?)
I have to blur out some serial numbers (folks, the serial number of Airpods Pro is where you warranty information can be found)
Side. With an Apple Logo
And at the back, where you can find the picture of the Airpods case opened, revealing the Airpods Pro
And on the other side, embossing the name of the product. And did I mention that Airpods Pro can support wireless charging? Yes, Sir, It's compatible with any wireless qi charger.
And here's the documentation. Sad to say, but Apple did not include any Apple stickers. My first Airpod comes with 2 Apple stickers. I know it's not a big deal, (like eh, stickers?, come on folks, It's part of the experience, and you pay for it :) )
This is what I'm telling about guys, See this round-ishh paper housing below? Yeah, that's where your ear tips are.
Small and large. A cool way to put all those ear tips without sacrificing the space on that tiny little box.
And voila...
Apple is gradually transitioning all its peripheral cords from lightning cable to USB-C type cable.
I'm not a fan of USB-C. I really don't mind the USB-C cable as I have 3 original lightning cable to use just in case I missed bringing the cable of my AirPods pro. Good thing, my power bank can support USB-c charging.
USB-C, I'm not a fan, although it delivers great data speed transfer and fast charging. I don't mind it. I just wish that the supplied the normal USB to lightning cable.
And here's the beasty. How gorgeous!
Peekaboo! (lol), the design is so futuristic. The medium ear tip fits perfectly in my ear. I tested the ear-fit test and it appears to be a good seal.
Sexy back. Assembled in China, (as always)
An orange light will appear if you put back the Airpods Pro to its charging case.
Look how small the Airpods Pro. It's just your thumb (or probably the half of your thumb)
It's just right...
See that black mesh at the back of the AirPods Pro? That's an expanded mesh microphone port that improves call clarity in windy situations.
And at the tip of the Airpods Pro (or the stem rather), It comes with a force sensor that supports different gestures such as:
- Press once to play or pause music
- Press once to answer an incoming call
- Press twice to skip forward on a track
- Press three times to skip back on a track
- And press and hold to switch between noise cancellation and transparency mode
And if you may ask, How much is the Airpods Pro? *drum rolls.....
It's $272. Yeah, It's not practical to have this type of Bluetooth headphones, If you can afford to buy one of this? Why not? Enjoy and splurge your self once in a while. Once you tried it for the very first time, all those anger will flush away (it's quite expensive but it's worth the price for) 😆

Stay safe everyone!
