Apple's New AirPods: Are they worth it?

Recently, I just purchased Apple's new AirPod Pro 2's. I've been using them for day and so far I can say: the upgrade is definitely worth it.

I can shamelessly say that I am an Apple fanboy. I love Apple and their ecosystem and don't see myself switching to any non-Apple products anytime soon.

So when Apple announced the new AirPod Pro 2 in their September Keynote, I knew that I'd have to get them eventually. As someone who already owned the AirPod Pro's, there were a couple flaws that I had with them.

All of those got fixed with the second version.

With the AirPod Pro 1's, there was no way to adjust volume without your phone. You could pause, play, skip, and adjust the noise cancellation on the headphones, but you couldn't adjust the volume. With the new version, there is a haptic feature that allows you to adjust the volume on the side of headphones.

My second biggest complaint about the first version AirPod Pro's were how hard the case was to locate if you misplaced it. Losing AirPods has to be a universal experience, is there anything Apple could do to fix it?

With the new AirPods, there is a tiny speaker on the outside of the case. Meaning that if you ever misplace your AirPods case, you can play a noise from your phone that will ring from your case. I haven't misplaced my AirPods yet, but I know this will come in handy.

These fixes, along with better noise cancellation, a deeper bass, and longer battery life, make the new AirPod Pro 2's worth the upgrade.

I was able to get mine for $50 off from a Black Friday Special. If you hurry, I'm sure there are still some great deals out there.
