Another shit product. L for the earphone market. Touch controls on in ears are the dumbest shit. On top of never working, you want to remove an earbud? That’s 3 inputs you didn’t want. Buttons work and have worked for years. They’re only replacing everything with touch because it’s cheaper for them. On a 400 dollar pair, that’s ridiculous. You can’t be cutting corners at that price point. Plus, what’s with the voice assistant crap?
AirPods’ capacitive sensor are the only usable earphones I’ve seen recently. Insane how nobody is just using a button or at least a simulated one when one of the main reasons people stick with AirPods is they have “buttons.” Touch controls need to stay back in 2022
I’ve tried many ear bud type devices. Sound quality aside, which is subjective at this high end anyway, it boils down to comfort. And in my opinion the Apple AirPod pros beat anything else hands down
Also too many features. It get confusing when all you want to do is listen to music or the odd call. And they are relatively bulky which is not good for some ears, mine.
Note to those people that think it’s good behaviour to have a phone call in public using ear buds. Just STOP, please
I liked the vocals pushed forward a bit. With no EQ available I didn’t get the exact sound I liked. I felt the vocals got lost a bit. Bluetooth was much better than the first gen. At $400 I couldn’t justify keeping them…basically any of the higher end earbuds sound better than the AirPods Pro 2 which also suffer from no EQ.
Never ceases to surprise me how many companies invest such big sums into developing tech, then make obviously weird, illogical decisions. That case feature is going to be used by like 0.1% of anyone who buys them, you can bet almost everyone would have preferred either a bigger battery or a smaller case. If you must, sell that weird one as a separate accessory along with a radio tuner 😄. Not being able to turn cancelling on and off on the headphone? Mental. What on earth goes on in their development meetings? Shame, I love B&W stuff but they aren’t the package the APP2’s are. Another great vid Mark, concise and well produced 👍🏻
Great review. Just a quick tip from a professional sound engineer, don’t say “sound quality is subjective” is not, sound perception, character and our own ear tuning is particular and subjective, but sound quality is on the product or it’s not!
These lose to the Airpods in everything besides sound quality, which is highly subjective, and build quality.
My problem with high-quality earbuds is when the battery isn’t replaceable, being made to last doesn’t matter since the battery will start to go after a few years.
It bothers me that you don’t answer your opening question. Will you be switching out your Airpods for the Wilkins?
$419! Good lord. They better cook me dinner. 😂🤣
Who fancies these Pi7 S2 earbuds, then? If so – why? And, equally, if not – why?
I’ve basically stopped buying any premium in-ears since the AirPods Pro 2 came out. Yes, there are some with better sound (see also the Beoplay EX and EQ) but they can’t compete with the full package of very good sound PLUS all the features and ecosystem integration of the AirPods Pro.
Very nice video
For me, in-ear earbuds are solely for convenience, not sound quality. When I am wanting high quality sound, I use over-ear headphones. This means I want the smallest form factor that is easy to use, and based on your video I’ll continue with my Airpods.
It’s incredible how many of the features listed for the AirPods Pro 2 and for the Pi7 S2 are features you can now find in cheaper wireless buds. The recently releases Earfun Air Pro 3 give you touch controls for volume, track change, ANC, ambient, and voice assistance. The ANC is also quite good. Basically, almost all the features listed are available in the sub $100 category. The “retransmission technology” is not a new feature as LG released it a couple of years ago in the Tone Free FP9, sub $200. I don’t know if either earbuds are actually worth it with the current market.
The ambient mode switch over is major down side for me as i use earbuds a lot for travelling. I will stick with my airpods pro 2. Great video anyways 👍🏻
I’m dying to try both!
If the comparison is analogous to that of the B&W PX8 vs AirPods Max then I’ll opt for the B&W Pi7 S2 without hesitation.
Have you tried plugging the case into a camera headphone jack to get wireless audio that way? I’ve used the AirFly with my AirPods but the slight delay is a bit annoying. Would love to hear if there is no delay with this product! Thanks 🙏
Never thought I would even use earbuds but took a chance with AAP2 to help with Tinnitus at night as trying to sleep with over ears isn’t great (built in ocean sound is helpful but mainly play Pink noise).
I enjoyed the AAP2 that much that I use them for commuting as well now, particularly enjoy the spatial sound setting once set up properly.
The AAP2 are certainly good enough for my uses and if I want superior sound I will use some good quality over ear.
I would like to give the B&W P8 a try at some point.
Sometimes I think that people who claim that the AirPods Pro have Great sound quality have never Been exposed Even to Average sound quality systems. Even My 100 USD Samsung buds live sound better than the AirPods Pro. In addition, the AirPods Pro cost 200 USD more. That’s why I returned them. The tremble is really annoying to my ears. However, I have to admit that the ANC and the transparency mode are amazing. But they’re just not features that I value. For me, the most important feature is sound quality and the AirPods really don’t Justify the price tag
I like the feature to connect to Airplane entertainment systems but I struggle to use earbuds on a longer flight. They pop out when eating and they can fall into, or god forbid, into the seat. Over the ear are still the choice for me in this case. So that cool feature is a bit wasted. I would prefer the smaller case.
Thanks for the comparison and review Mark. I haven’t tried quality earbuds because, at my age, my hearing isn’t all that good, but you’ve got me wondering if there’s a way to adjust the balance to compensate for some of the loss (without expecting miracles, of course).
