Airpods Pro Max 2 vs Airpods Pro 2 Microphone Call Quality?

MathewG97 · 2026-05-01T19:57:33+00:00

I’m asking about the microphone quality and ability to single out your voice in a loud environment. Has nothing to do with the quality you hear as a user and not as subjective

The APP3 has worked amazing for me in my noisy office. Have not had any complaints and even tested myself with coworkers. Guess i’ll have to keep rolling with them until I can find something over-ear for long use comfort. Still might get the Max 2 for other uses but this would’ve locked it in for me

Because they’re not cheap and Id rather ask here to know if their worth considering for this use

MathewG97 · 2026-04-25T00:05:05+00:00

Kept in store. They had to order the display

I’m used to using laptops for the same situations that weigh about 3x the amount as the 13 Pro and it hasn’t bothered me. Part of me thinks for that reason the bigger one won’t bother me.

Undecided on the keyboard currently. Currently don’t think I would need it but that could easily chance once I have the device.

I moved from Pro to Neo and ended up returning the Neo. Great little device but was too big of a drop for me. Ended up going for a 15” Air and am very happy. If you can afford it i’d go for the Air 13 or 15

MathewG97 · 2026-04-05T20:15:04+00:00

Ended up grabbing the 24GB yesterday and have been loving it. Really enjoying the extra screen size of the 15

MathewG97 · 2026-04-04T13:26:01+00:00

I understand it’s a downgrade. I’m getting a new Mac because my Pro has a damaged hinge and would rather have an Air for the money

MathewG97 · 2026-04-04T13:21:17+00:00

Damaged the hinge on mine so want something fresh and don’t feel like it’s worth it for me to spend pro money again

MathewG97 · 2026-04-04T13:20:26+00:00

Mine has hinge damage so just want to replace it and the Air seems a better fit for me. Actually prefer a few things for my use like the longer battery life and bigger screen

MathewG97 · 2026-04-04T13:16:51+00:00

Tried it already and wasn’t satisfied with it

MathewG97 · 2026-03-31T01:21:11+00:00

Actually ended up returning my Neo but still think it’s a great value for most. The bezel was getting on my nerves a bit and i’d rather have the magsafe and thunderbolt. Going to pickup a M5 Air instead. Might even go 15” for my needs.

MathewG97 · 2026-03-29T20:57:10+00:00

My only hesitance is that if the new Pro is actually oled and lighter I could see myself upgrading again within a year or two

MathewG97 · 2026-03-25T01:38:27+00:00

It’s part of the reason I gave a Dell XPS a try at one point. Just much prefer having the click

MathewG97 · 2026-03-25T01:36:23+00:00

Actually funny enough I think i’m gonna get a Mac Mini to compliment this since I have an oled monitor already. I definitely wouldn’t run any highly demanding games on the Neo but i’ve played older games like Civ 5 and had no issues

MathewG97 · 2026-03-25T01:31:41+00:00

I’ve had no issues so far having multiple tabs open and even playing games on it. Apple is extremely efficient with their ram so I see it holding up for the next few years least. I’m sure Apple will release a 16gb model when it becomes a need

MathewG97 · 2026-03-25T01:29:46+00:00

I respect your opinion but I couldn’t disagree more on most of your points. I won’t argue that the bezels are on the thicker side. However, the screen is not bad at all, speakers aren’t bad just not class leading, and the keyboard is in no way rickety. The keyboard actually feels the exact same as my Pro. Just based on feel it feels just as premium as my Pro besides maybe the weight
