• AirPods 2nd gen / AirPods Pro -

    do some of you have both or got the pro's after the 2nd gen, and can tell me which ones are better regarding the sound quality of the microphone?

    As in: I would not be listening to music with them, not even making a lot of calls, but using them as a slick wireless headset for teaching - so only / most important thing is how well my voice sounds to others.

    Ta!

  • Only had the Pro's. Anecdotally they're a bit crap as a mic.
    I've had to call the bank a few times and whenever I'm using the AirPods Pro then I fail the voice authentication and have to jump through extra hoops. If just talking into the phone then it's fine.
    Similarly a few other calls I've ended up removing the airpods and talking into the phone as people often don't hear properly.

  • Airpods Pro owner, no such complaints here about the mic. I regularly use them for voice calls, at least one call per day.

    You might have a defective pair. Not sure how you can get them checked with the Apple Stores closed, but talk to support maybe they'll send you a new pair if you send yours back?
