Which should be selected for "AirPods Pro" thoroughly verifying the new features of "AirPods (3rd generation)"?(Page 1/3)

From business people to students, now everyone uses completely wireless earphones on a daily basis.Many users will already use some earphones, but in the holiday season, if you think, "Let's buy a good one" or "Is it possible to buy an earphone?""It should be a candidate.

From such a viewpoint, I would like to pay attention to the third -generation "AirPods" released in October 2021.Many people are worried about which one to buy, compared to the top model "AirPods Pro" and the old model "AirPods (2nd generation)".

In this article, I would like to explain which product to choose when considering the purchase of AirPods in the future, focusing on the impression of actually using the latest AirPods (3rd generation).All prices include tax.

The minimum thing you want to know about the genealogy of "AirPods"

First of all, let's grasp the products of the AirPods series in chronological order.

The first "AirPods" was announced in September 2016.It was a completely wireless earphone, and at this time it was a long stick.By tapping and shaking this stick with your finger, you can operate such as song sending.Nowadays, many wireless earphones are now in response, but at the time, a novel user experience was evaluated at the time that it could be easily paired just by opening the case, and it was a completely wireless earphone market.rice field.

Two and a half years later, in March 2019, the second generation AirPods appeared.The model supports the operation with Hey Siri and has improved the battery life.It is also characteristic that the case corresponded to the wireless charging that was started at that time.The design remained long.

In September of the same year, a high -end model called "AirPods Pro" was announced in response to ANC (active noise canceling).The design has been renewed, such as shortening the axis that pops out from the ears.Regarding the operation of the song feed, the operation of the pressure sensor was changed to a tightly pinched fingertips, not the conventional tap operation.The price is 35,80 yen.

In December 2020, the top model called the headphone type "AirPods Max" was announced.This time, I omitted the details, but the impression I actually used was that the details of the sound were quite clear, so I had the impression that it was a product to be "deeply immersed in the sound" rather than "listening to BGM somehow".。

And the third generation AirPods was released in October 2021.The system is the successor to the second generation AirPods released in September 2019.The design is high in that the design is close to the high -level AirPods Pro, which is significantly updated.By the way, with sweat -resistant performance, it became a more attractive product for those who want to use heavy use during workouts and sports scenes.

The price of AirPods (3rd generation) is 23,800 yen.Equipped with H1 chips, it supports spatial audio and dynamic head tracking.Another point is that you can optimize the sound with the adaptive equalization function.It also supports the excellent audio codec "AAC-ELD" that provides full HD's voice quality, and the audio during FaceTime calls is clearer, and the microphone covered with acoustic mesh reduces the wind noise.The battery of the earphone itself has been one hour longer than the conventional model, and it also supports Magsafe.

AirPods (3rd generation) is in -ear type and not ANC compatible

By the way, there are three points to keep in mind when understanding the latest model AirPods (3rd generation).The first is that it is a "in -ear type" product.The second is that the operation method has become a "pressure sensor".The third is that it supports "spatial audio".

The first in -ear type is a type of product that does not have silicon -shaped earpieces on the ears that are attached to the ears.The first and second generations of AirPods were both this in -ear type, so it is familiar to those who have already used the series.

On the other hand, products that do not have a silicon -shaped earpiece on the ears attached to the ear are called "canal type".It is a general -purpose (Hanyo) type that is often seen in wired earphones, and the upper model AirPods Pro is also a canal type.

Then, "Which is better for the in -ear type used by AirPods and the Canal type used by AirPods Pro?"

For example, in the case of the author, if you keep wearing it, you prefer an in -year type that does not feel pressure on your ears.A little exaggeration, because it is easy to wear for a long time, "feeling like forgetting to wear earphones."However, when you want to listen to English at the timing of train movement or watch YouTube commentary videos, the noise will inevitably be able to hear the sound, so you will have to make it a large volume and your ears will hurt.There are also drawbacks such as tend to be used and tend to be worried about sound leakage.

In that regard, AirPods Pro is a canal type with an earpiece, and it also supports the ANC function, so the noise of trains and airplanes "Geho" can be switched so that it cannot be heard.It was an indispensable item when I was running around in Tokyo on a train.By the way, it also supports external sound import mode using a microphone, so when you want to listen to the surrounding sounds, you can hear the surrounding sounds simply by switching the mode.

Considering these characteristics, if you mainly use your home or outdoors, or if you listen to the music you listen to by train or go to school, you should choose AirPods (3rd generation).think.On the other hand, listening to language, listening to podcasts, listening to podcasts, listening to the sounds of music instruments individually using commuting and commuting hours, or people who often go on a business trip on an airplane.I would like to recommend AirPods Pro.

By the way, AirPods (3rd generation) does not have an external sound import function related to ANC, but unless you listen to music with a very explosive sound, the external sound can be heard naturally.I would like to supplement this point that it is not particularly disadvantageous.
