AirPods Pro impressions from NYC

This is a nice little writeup from a Redditor who picked up AirPods Pro from a New York City Apple Store.

Read the whole thing, but two snippets I had to post:

If you buy them in-store, set them up next to the line of display iPhones. Absolutely hilarious to watch a full line of iPhones pop up the setup box in sync. When you press connect on yours, all the other ones will switch to “Not your AirPods Pro.” If that’s not a “pro” experience, I don’t know what is lol.

I definitely want to see a video of this. If you are at an Apple Store and have a way to capture this, please do send it my way.

And this on sound quality, vs AirPods:

It’s actually a bigger step up than I thought previously (I was mostly paying attention to ANC quality). The seal makes a big difference but honestly the drivers are just better.

Was wondering if the drivers are new, and if they made a difference. If you care about the subtlety of the AirPods sound, here’s another, more detailed take on the difference.
