Transcripts

the JBL live Pro 2 go for as little as

100 bucks here in Australia the airpods

Pro 2 350 if you're lucky now at this

price you'd expect Apple to demolish JBL

but

demolish them is exactly what they don't

do so today I'll be going in depth

comparing them in every category down to

which bar sounds the best with 13

different genres now starting with how

the buds fit both have a very similar

design airpods are slightly smaller and

sleeker but the comfort is very close as

both buds use oval shaped ear tips

airpods just win this round though it

feels like less in the year with their

unique ear tips the live profit is a bit

deeper and I can feel the chunk of the

bud more but I can still wear those for

over three hours with no discomfort at

all when it comes to how secure the buds

stay in your ear when you're doing stuff

it's a tie here even though these are a

stem design at least for my ear canals

both buds stay in really well when

running weight training going pretty

crazy in my sessions I'm barely having

to readjust the earbuds keep in mind

this is how the buds fit me it's going

to be a little bit different for

everyone and if you like using your

earbuds when training the live pro have

an ipx5 water resistant rating the

airpods pro ipx4 is basically the same

same thing they do win when it comes to

the case being water resistant because

the airpods case is ipx4 water resistant

the only real case that actually is in

the true Wireless World now with battery

life These are industry-leading results

on both pairs with noise canceling on on

the live pro you get eight hours from

the buds 30 hours in total with the case

on the airpods six hours from the buds

30 hours in total with the case but the

airpods are going to get the win when it

comes to the case size it's slightly

bigger than the live pro but it is a lot

thinner so easier to Chuck in your

pocket the live pro though still easily

pocketable both cases have wireless

charging the airpods do have magsafe

charging when it comes to fast charge

the live pro technically win because you

can Chuck the buds in the case 15

minutes you're getting four hours of

playback on the earbuds compared to the

airpods five minutes in the case gives

you an hour's playback now JBL doesn't

advertise what it would take with five

minutes it might be the same here but

I'm going to give the live pro the win

just and another thing I like about the

live pro is the indicator lights on the

case it's just easy get to know when you

need to charge your case up where on the

airpods it'll change to red and you can

see it pop up on your phone but I always

take my earbuds out I don't see it pop

up on my phone so the indicator lights

I'm just team indicator lights let me

know what you prefer in the comments but

the airpods fight back here with actual

speakers built into the case which work

with the find my buds and find my case

feature in the app so you can pinpoint

down to exactly where your case is as

well as your earbuds the live pro only

let you find your earbuds but not the

actual specific location they'll just

make a beeping sound when you're near

them now when it comes to controls the

airpods Pro 2 have my favorite controls

the best controls you can get because

you can control everything including

volume up and down by swiping up and

down on the earbud but not only that if

you're only using one earbud while you

leave the other in the case you can

still control everything play pause

skipping tracks forward and back give me

transported I would have forgot what

controls there are play pause skipping

trucks always canceling noise canceling

controls and volume up and down they

also use Force touch which I prefer over

touch controls and they also have great

any detection for auto pausing and

playing your music and you can just

Chuck one button in your pocket and

because it has a skin detection built

into the sensor it'll only turn back on

if the butt is actually in an ear in an

ear

in an ear now the live pro they use

touch controls the sensitivity is great

but you don't have the option to control

everything including volume you have to

jump in the up and sacrifice either your

noise canceling controls or your

playback controls so you definitely

can't control everything when you have

one earbud in but if you do only use one

earbud the controls change so you can

play pause skip tracks forward and back

and summon voice assistant so any

detection also isn't as good as the

airpods you can Chuck an earbud in your

pocket and start walking around with it

but if you start like running or walking

too fast I noticed like sitting down any

detection would stop working and music

will start playing and the airpods also

have the always on Siri for your iOS

users now connectivity both pairs of

Bluetooth 5.2 SBC and AAC the advantage

of airpods if you use iOS devices is a

seamless switching between devices but

the live pro are one of the rare true

wireless earbuds to have true

multi-point connections so you can have

two devices connected to the earbuds at

the same time not as seamless as the

airpods but it works really well you

just have to pause playback on one

device before you resume it on your

other device there is a slight delay but

it's pretty consistent where airpods

probe the seamless switching is not a

seamless as it sounds I actually did a

poll recently and these are the results

I got so let me know in the comments

also if you're having any issues with

seamless switching now in terms of

latency with watching movies and videos

airpods Pro no issues at all the live

pro have the slightest amount of latency

but you can jump in the app and turn on

the video mode which brings the latency

down to levels equal to the airpods but

you do lose about five percent roughly

of audio quality now on both earbuds you

can use one at a time while you lay the

other in the case and both pairs work in

mono mode so when you're using just one

earbud you'll hear both the left and

right audio channels so you're not going

to miss anything with your music now

when it comes to gaming latency for your

mobile Gamers out there here are all the

results I got in my latency test on both

IOS and Android you can see that airpods

has some of the lowest latency if you're

using that on an iOS device but

generally if you're below 400

milliseconds for casual games you're

fine you want to be getting around the

200 millisecond range if you're into

more faster reaction games like Shooters

and stuff like that but now let's head

on outside and see how the microphones

compare

all right so here we are in the outside

world with the JBL live pro 2. I also

want to quickly mention these have a

feature called voice aware so when

you're on a phone call you can hear your

own voice and hopefully all the noise

around me is getting blocked out it's a

little bit windy and there's a lot of

cars zooming past all right and here we

are with the airpods pro 2. these don't

have voice to wear but you can easily

just hold down and turn your

transparency mode on or noise canceling

on and let me know what you think of the

microphone quality differences down in

the comments below all right now on to

noise canceling how I test my noise

canceling to keep it even I Chuck on my

soundbar with simulation train plane

noise and crowd noise and I also test

all my earbuds at my local gym and

here's my overall ANC ranking with all

the true wireless earbuds that I have

tested you can see the airpods Pro 2

slightly in that higher spot when it

comes to lower frequency sounds it's

very close in terms of quality the

airpods Pro 2 is slightly better but

it's with those more high frequency

sounds like weights clinging around in a

gym voices and chatter that's where the

airpods Pro 2 start to separate

themselves just a little bit more than

the live pro but very subtle so the live

pro at their price easily the best noise

canceling value you can get right now

you're also able to adjust the strength

of the live pro noise canceling in the

up pretty rare feature you can't do this

on the airpods and when it comes to wind

coming in through the microphones with

noise canceling on both pairs let a

little bit of wind in the airpods let

slightly less in and this is the same

with the transparency mode although

there this is where live pro starts to

let a little bit more wind in and

speaking of the transparency mode this

is an easy win for the airpods the best

transparency mode a solid 10 out of 10.

it's very natural very easy to hear

things which is what you'll want with

the transparency mode the live pro

aren't too bad I'm rating them about a

7.5 out of 10 so not as natural there's

a bit of white noise hiss you can adjust

it in the app if you like you can also

do this on the airpods in the

accessibility section but I found on the

live pro if you increase the

transparency it adds to that white noise

here some sounds less natural although

you can hear things a little bit better

alright before we talk about what's most

important sound quality please hit that

like button if you like the video if you

don't like it maybe keep watching and

you'll like it later then press it then

so first starting with volume both pairs

go equally as loud anything above 85

you're in some serious hearing loss

territory below 70 is in your safe

listening levels but when it comes to

some really low level listening I'm

talking like the first two to four

clicks of volume air power words

advertise that the H2 chip allows for

deeper bass and crisp Highs at all

volumes and it does that with the H2

chip actually increasing the base as the

volume goes down because we hear bass a

little bit less at lower volumes

compared to high volumes the live pro

though even though they don't advertise

this I reckon they're doing the exact

same thing because at those low volumes

the bass stays very similar to the

amounts that you're hearing at the

higher volumes although the airpods do

win when it comes to the crisp highs the

live pro loses a little bit of clarity

at the low volumes but now onto the

sound quality itself first let's talk

about sound customization because the

airpods sort of have it in the

accessibility section it's under

headphone accommodations you turn that

on and you have some options in there

but you don't really get too much

Freedom all that you can really do is

increase mids and treble but I honestly

think they sound the best with that

feature off it is more of an

accessibility thing so you can change

things like the Left Right audio balance

which is pretty cool not many earbuds

can do that the airpods also have

spatial audio which I found increases

the bass gives it a more full open bass

response at the same time kind of

increasing the treble and directness of

the sound but I found on certain tracks

especially with drops in EDM and stuff

like that it did make things sound a

little bit weird a little bit echoey you

can also personalize this to your actual

ear shape I found this made it worse

though so this is how it works for me

I've heard it working much better for

other people now the live pro don't have

spatial audio but they have a 10 band EQ

customization in the app you can add a

total of 10 bands take some away if you

want and really customize these earbuds

to your liking and this is one of my

favorite presets that I've saved I just

increase the sub bass a tiny bit and the

treble that's pretty much it I think

they sound much better with this tuning

on so I am going to talk about the sound

quality with that EQ on but overall it's

an easy win for the airpods when it

comes to Clarity and balance it's just a

nice clean sound you get great vocal

Clarity crisp treble great instrument

separation all in a pretty open Sound

Stage it's a story well refined tuning

with a nice amount of bass it is a

balanced bass response but a nice amount

of boosting in that sub bass and that

will work with most genres that you're

listening to I am only saying most

genres because the live pro out of the

box are a more bass heavy tuning so a

lot more boosting in both the sub bass

and the mid bass I rated it a solid 8

out of 10 on my subwoofer scale where a

pair like the airpods are about a 7 out

of ten so it is a little bit over the

top but it's well refined to the point

of not getting bloated or too messy with

the mid bass which is an issue with a

lot of buds that have too much boosting

in the bass the mid-range although not

as forward as the airpods still sound

really great with the bass booster

tuning here so vocals never get lost

this is the same with instrumentation my

only issue is with the treble response

it is a little bit lacking like I said I

did bump up the treble in the EQ but

even then you can only change the stock

setting so much before things start

sounding a bit weird so even with my

Boost in that treble I find it's just a

little bit lacking compared to the

airpods so to be honest with you

comparing the two buds here it's like

comparing apples to oranges so I think

this is going to be a little bit easier

when I run through my genre rating

letting you know which but I think

sounds better with each individual genre

so starting with EDM this can at times

be more vocal driven but with a lot of

emphasis on synths and drops that's why

I'm giving it a tie if you're into more

vocal focused EDM you'll probably prefer

the airpods if you're into more heavier

stuff like Hardwell then you'll probably

prefer the live Pro 2 and this is

similar with hip-hop and R B do you want

the vocals to be more at the Forefront

or that nice deep sub bass for those

bass lines really thump and really hit

hard on the live pro 2. now with metal

this was another close one but I did

have to give it to the airpods just for

that nice clean sound great instrument

separation nothing ever gets lost your

screams the nice low end of distorted

guitars the double kicks like they're

bass boosted to the point where you're

not really losing that heavy sound that

metal has and this is similar with rock

although the live Pro 2 catch up a

little bit here so is generally not as

much going on in rocks if you like a

little bit of extra thump in your low

end you might prefer the live Pro 2

there now with your Acoustics Jazz

classical this is where the airpods

treble really starts to shine hi-hats

crashes orchestration the pluck of the

acoustic guitars just has a lot more

detail and more realism on the airpods

live pro not bad airpods just easily

better now onto the sub-genres though

hard style trap and dubstep techno I'm

giving the live pro the win I just find

a bass heavier tuning works better with

these genres especially in hard style

where there is just so much emphasis on

the kicks and different frequencies

going back and forth between the two the

airpods can just sound a little bit

lacking on certain tracks this is where

I find spatial audio does work the best

with airpods but again on certain drops

and kicks the spatial audio can make

things sound a bit echoing weird with

side trans and trans I am giving the

airpods a win I find a punchier bass

response works better with those genres

as well as the vocals in trance and the

synths in trance and side trans let us

have more energy and Vibrance on the

airpods finally symphonic metal similar

situation to metal there but you're

adding in orchestration so the

instrument separation works really well

with the airpods and finally with movies

airpods getting the win with their

Superior mid-range as well as spatial

audio combined with zombie Atmos and the

head tracking the spatial audio has you

can get some pretty cool experiences

there not seen on the live pro so the

airpods Pro 2 do win overall but with

live Pro 2 coming in at a third of the

price they get seriously close to the

quality of the airpods pro 2. if you

like your bass heavy tuning you want to

save a bit of money you can't go wrong

with a live pro 2. but if you want to

see how the airpods Pro 2 stack up

against some buds in a similar price

range you're gonna have to check out

this video here you're really going to

like it I compared five earbuds I rank

them I scored them so check that out in

the meantime stay picky I'll see you in

the next video bye now
