New hearing protection 🎧

I have bought a pair of AirPod Pro and have been very excited to see if they would be a good fit for me. I have always had problems with in-ear headphones because they don’t fit my ears, and every time I go for a walk, they fall out - especially if I have to look both ways before crossing a road. They are also supposed to function as earplugs when I play music. It is high time that I start protecting my ears. And lastly, I want to use them for listening to music and audiobooks.

First, I haven’t finished testing the different tips to find the ones that best fit me. I had big problems with changing tips because I couldn’t detach the default ones. Even though I watched several how-to videos, I still had problems getting them off. In my opinion, they were stuck. After a couple of weeks, I could finally change them to a smaller size. It needs more testing because the left one still does not fit me perfectly, but I’m confident I’ll find a solution. I have also looked for unoriginal ones made of foam that might be a better fit for me. As I said, I’m still testing the tips.

They are fantastic for music and audiobooks. I love the realistic sound they produce, so I approve of them for that purpose. I also approve them for my music performances. I love all the possibilities of adjustments, but at the moment, I’m using the default settings. I’m still fumbling around the menus when we start playing music. Sometimes, I turn on noise cancellation, making it very difficult to hear my fellow musicians.

I have also discovered that the AirPods are perfect for me when I need peace and quiet, whether at work or on the train. It is unnecessary to play semi-loud music to shut out the noise; it is possible to use them as earplugs. I was on my way home on the train one day while having a minor migraine, so I most of all needed some quiet. Four to five happy teenage girls entered the train and started chatting. Please don’t misunderstand me. Usually, that wouldn’t bother me, but I wanted to kick them out of the train at that time. Instead, I put on my AirPods and activated noise cancellation, and everything went almost silent. The noise from the train was also dampened, and suddenly, the train ride home was comfortable. The experience was so positive that the money I spent on the AirPods was well worth it.
