Best noise cancelling (both ends of a call), great volume, and they stay in my ears. The trifecta.

i travel for a living and mostly use my device for listening to audiobooks and music i had been gifted by my brother a pair of studio beats which i liked but got mixed reviews from others when taking phone calls in fact my brother was the harshest critic so when he suggested these airpods pro 2 were on sale i placed an ordermy expectations were low the only earbuds that stay in my ears are the neckband style and the corded tapered apple style that used to come with iphones because i am often even mostly in loud industrial environments a lack of volume is another frequent problem for mebut not to worryi was reading about the features and controls as i opened the package and got them in my ears when my iphone connected to them and immediately began playing my music it happened to be stevie ray vaughan playing the house is rockin and i was overwhelmed  the volume was excellent as was the sound  second greatest fear of disappointment obliterated now excited i none the less had to let stevie ray finish rockin because well it was stevie raymaking no adjustment to the fitted earpiece the airpods have not fallen out once something my beats could not have managed to do for so long a time and with such activity i have had them about 24 hours and with moderatetoheavy use simply walking would cause my beats to fall out no matter what fitting i usedmoments ago i completed the main test with a phone call with my hifi critic brother yesterday on the phone wearing my studio beats i went down carpeted stairs which only creaked softly but he commented on the loud banging sound he was hearing like doors slamming  today with my airpods pro 2 i walked about on the hardwood floors microwaved my coffee in the kitchen and went back to my bedroom and then asked him about what background noise he has heard i havent heard anything try moving around somewhen i told him i had been we were both very pleased that was the final testthese are the best bluetooth audio devices i have ever had and i have paid more than this for some very good onesthe noise cancelling is stunning almost eerie i am not used to being in such a quiet environment just switched from adaptive mode to noise cancellation as a big truck went by sound went to zero my air conditioning and street noise i live downtown utterly go away by switching from transparency to noise cancellationa cool feature i had to turn off is conversation awareness although i will probably want to make some use of it the problem is when i listen to music i often sing along and doing so with that feature enabled quiets the music my airpods are not the first to complain about my singing but perhaps the most subtle in doing so i dont really blame themeverything else is at default settings and i am most pleased with thesesmall thing but useful to me the case is designed for adding a wrist or neck strap im buying it a nice neckstrap i want these with me
