I just bought a pair of Apple Airpod Pro 2 ear buds and absolutely love them!
I exercise on a treadmill that is very noisey and used to have to really crank up the volume on my home speakers to hear any podcasts. Of course, that just made everything louder, and still I was missing some content.
Now I use the Apple Airpod Pro 2's with noise reduction and it blocks out almost all sounds. I am much more relaxing and comfortable exercising these days.
Last week I decided to take the Airpods on a plane ride and compare to my Bose noise canceling earphones which I have been using for years on airplanes in order to comfortably listen to audio books.
Well, after the test, I will no longer be taking the bulky Bose earphones on airplane rides. The Apple Airpod Pro 2's did a very comparable job of reducing the background noise.
The other nice feature is that, with a quick press of the Airpods you can switch them to "transparency mode", which lets you hear everything around you. Another press switches back to "noise reduction" mode. There are also several other modes you might like like a mode that, when in noise reduction mode, listens to speech around you and can let the speech pass through if someone is trying to get your attention or talk to you when the Airpods are in.
Oh yes, I now enjoy vacuuming the house while listening to an audio book, an experience which I always avoided because of the noise.
Anyway, as you can tell, I am a very satisfied customer.
BTW, although Apple sells them for $250, I found them at Best Buy for $200.
