I'm not very keen on the idea of buying renewed stuff, certainly not earbuds.

#

airpods pro 2 is the superior option no doubt

#

200 usd though, isn't that a bit overpriced for renewed?

#

ye that's what I was thinking

#

200 usd is quite close to brand new

#

it boils down to how much you value sound quality and anc

#

for me? 100%

#

but once again... it's a personal thing

#

if you don't commute often, and are planning to use it in quieter areas, you could choose to save the money

#

Airpods pro 2 anc is pretty darn good though

#

when I demoed them, it was rather similar to my wf-1000xm4

#

well is it loud in those two environments?

#

Anc is very helpful for me cause I want to hear only my music on the bus, or in the car.

#

ye, I don't use anc at the library either. Got my wired earbuds for that

#

Fit is another thing, pros get interchangeable eartips

#

The 4 might not even be comfortable for you, you'll have to try it out

#

ofc it does. You're wearing these things in your ears. The last thing you want is for it to be uncomfortable. I couldn't stand the feel of regular airpods. It's hard plastic pressing onto your ear canal.

#

Also, since there isn't a proper seal, you hear more ambient noise

#

I unfortunately can't vouch for those, never used em before.

#

only anc earbuds line I have experience with is the sony flagship wf series

#

I do remember using beat headphones?

#

the solo 3 I think

#

but the tuning wasn't to my taste

#

it's very hard for me to say tbh. As i've explained, I never used the airpods 4 or the beat studio plus.

#

On paper the beats are better?

#

I mean the airpods pro 2 are 190 usd rn?

#

that would be my definitive recommendation

#

I can actually vouch for this product unlike the other two

#

I'd rank them like this

#

*if beats studio buds + pricing is similar/identical to airpods 4

#

Airpods pro 2 >>> Beats studio buds >= Airpods 4

#

That complicates it more then.

#

My point still stands, I think the anc on the studio buds make it an overall superior package

#

how to I put it...

#

ANC is one of those things you can't live without once you actually use it

#

Similar to the 120hz vs 60hz debate

#

Yes, that's my conclusion after reading both spec sheets

#

the best solution would be ofc for you to somehow try both out at a shop, then come up with your own conclusion.

#

I do hope you enjoy your new earbuds 😄

#

It's alright, glad I could help

#

you might be able to get them at a similar price new or even less during a sale

i thought the 200 was for renewed
