The Water Test: An Unpredictable Encounter with the AirPods Pro

In this video, the speaker takes on the challenge of testing the water resistance of the AirPods Pro, a feature that was not available on previous models. The speaker begins by explaining that the AirPods Pro is IPX4 certified, meaning it can withstand being splashed with water but may not be suitable for prolonged exposure to water.

The speaker decides to put the AirPods Pro to the test in a more extreme way, submerging them in water and checking how they react. They start by describing how the case of the AirPods Pro is made of a material that can withstand being thrown into water, but they decide to take it a step further by actually putting the device in a pool.

As expected, the speaker discovers that the AirPods Pro do not perform well when exposed to water for an extended period. The sound quality suffers, and the noise cancellation feature is rendered ineffective. However, the speaker notes that the frequency response of the device changes dramatically once the right earbud hits the bottom of the pool.

The speaker describes the frequency response as "ear-piercing" and expresses surprise at how much it affects the sound quality. They then switch to transparency mode, which they believe would be useful for detecting high-pitched frequencies in a product like this. In this mode, the speaker can hear themselves more clearly, but notes that the device is still trying to eject water from its earbuds.

The speaker speculates that the device's design involves using high-frequency sound waves to expel water from the earbuds, much like the Apple Watch uses a similar mechanism to eject water from its digital crown. While this might be an effective way to get rid of water, it also means that the AirPods Pro may not be suitable for use in wet environments.

To further test the device's performance, the speaker decides to play some music using Spotify and see if the sound quality improves when the transparency mode is enabled. They start by playing a song without any mode selected, but then switch to transparency mode to see if it makes a difference. In this mode, the speaker can hear their own voice more clearly, and notes that the sound quality has improved slightly.

However, the speaker remains skeptical about the AirPods Pro's ability to perform well in wet environments, citing comments from other users who have reported similar issues with using their AirPods in the shower or pool. While the device may be able to withstand some exposure to water, it is clear that prolonged use of the device in wet conditions could lead to problems.

Overall, the speaker's experiment with the AirPods Pro highlights the challenges of designing devices that can withstand exposure to water while still providing good sound quality and functionality. The results of this test may be useful for those considering purchasing the AirPods Pro, but it is essential to use caution when using these devices in wet environments.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- The water test.All right, so the extremeAirPods Pro water test,if you guys missed that it'sright up there in the iCard,I will leave a link down below.Basically, taking the AirPods Prowhich now our IPX4 certifiedamong the AirPods 2or the wireless charging onesthan just the regular AirPods.And I saw a bunch of commentsright off the bat saying,yeah, I've had my AirPods in my pocket,did my laundry didn't realize,and well, they still work.I didn't even know they were in there,I just found him when I put my pants on.Let's just put the matter to rest.This is the same box thatwas thrown in the pool.Let's put that to the test.Oh (bleep)!Honestly it's in pretty good shapeso we don't really need this anymorebut let's see the AirPods pair.I'm not really surprised,the case did not go in waterbut kind of interestedto see the sound quality,if noise cancellation, transparency mode,really what the fidelityand frequencies like.Because the frequency once the right onehit the bottom of the poolwas just like an ear piercing noise.So I'm getting the demo becauseI don't think these AirPodsremember that they were paired.So, I mean, everythingkind of sounds normal.I have, well, let's see what mode I'm in.Noise cancellation mode anddefinitely sounds reduced.Yeah, it doesn't really soundlike there's any difference.Hmm, all right.Transparency mode,yeah, I can hear myself.I mean, kind of one of theother comments that I sawand this would make senseis a high-pitched frequencyin a product like this isjust trying to eject water.That's that's all it wants to do,it just wants to get rid of the waterbecause well, like the Apple Watchwhen it gets water in thedigital crown you can eject it.It doesn't make a high-pitched noisebut you can kind of feel a vibrationbecause well, it'sworking all the water out.So if that's how theseaccomplished ejection of any liquidI get it and definitely steer clearof putting 'em back in your ears.You probably just heardthat that noise only a dog.For probably maybe a day, a few hours,I don't really know yetbut that's what we're gonna find out.so let's fire up Spotify,let's see if this makes any difference.No mode, okay.Sounds, oh we got.I heard it, I heard it, I heard it.Right out of the gate whenLil' Peep's \"When I Lie\" hitsyou just hear the bass andthe first time it came on,like this is the biggest deal ever, right,I heard a little crackle.That was it, just alittle clip, very subtle,but I'm here to let you knowthe bass sounds just as good,I don't want to say as brand newbut it's really hard to tellthat these were in a pool,let alone one of them hitthe bottom of the pool.It would make sense if onesounded better than the other,kind of like in the video.But 24 hours after this water test,sounds just as good.Let's try out another song.Sheck Wes.Sounds exactly thesame, transparency mode,I cannot hear myself, allright, maybe a little bit.And outside of theseguys being super smallif you are still stuck on the AirPods 2wanting maybe upgrade to the AirPiods Pro,video up in the iCard ifthere's really a $50 differencebecause I can say fromthe one feature we tested,not really tested, just tryit out to make sure it worked,is the IPX4 water resistance.I'm gonna go out on a limband say these are waterproof.you can, well, like yourAirPods 1, AirPods 2,be okay if they end up in your pocketsand they go through a wash.I think this is thepair now more than everwhere you're not gonna see anydifference, any degradation,that's what Apple basicallyhas made these to be.All I can say is if thesedo fall in the pool,if these do sit in water for, well,a long period of time.I'm more of a Kirkland kind of guy but,yeah, just contaminated it.So with these AirPod Pros still working,still functioning perfectlyfine, the last comment was,what would happen ifyou left them in waterfor a significant amount of time.And not just a standaloneenvironment, oh no.I feel like this is just a sign, don't.It's getting nice and moist.Putting 'em right on in there.Well, if this was youngerKeaton and younger Smartprobably woulda drank from these.But the real question is,are they still connected to Bluetooth?Oh my, dude, no way, you're kidding me.It's not, you know, thewildest thing in the world.Yep, we're still connected to Bluetooth.Wanna play some musicthrough the water bottle,you ever heard about that hack?To answer everyone's questionwith the AirPods Pro ultimate water test,I think that's what wegot a title this one,we're gonna leave thesein the water bottleuntil we feel like taking them out.This is gonna be the science experiment,maybe we just leave it all of November?What do you think about that?Just let your ears be on free.Soar.(high pitched ringing)No way, EV and I were like,dude, it's the neighbors again.You heard that high-pitchednoise, I think we got it.It just started to whistle.And right now we're in L.A.,it is 5:08 p.m., November 2nd.I have a few trips coming up.We're going a few different continentsand Ev, any predictions?Do you think the AirPodsPro will still work?- I don't.- Ev says they won't.I think he might be right, I'mgonna say they won't eitherbecause battery submersion for,I don't even know how long I'm feeling,it just can't be good.But there's really onlyone way to find out.(calm music)Hi.It's 7:34 p.m. Eastern Standard Time,were coming up on the full 24-hour mark.in fairness, I did have to empty it out,I had to go to a second security check.So we're just gonna get anice submersion in there.Hopefully they don'tmake me empty this outwhen I get to Lisbon, Portugal.So the big update and kindof where this wraps up,we've now passed the 48-hour mark.I got the iPad cam here,it is 10:37 in Los Angeles,just kind of coming up on Tuesday.It's already Tuesday here in Portugalbut the big thing thatwe need to find out is,it's like a beauty video,get your hand up close so it can focus,.is if the AirPods Proreally after 48 hours,they are surviving, if there'seven any sound quality,if there's any connection.So after 48 hours of fullsubmersion and in a new continent,I think, yeah, maybe a new hemisphere,definitely a new hemisphere,The looks that I got frompeople, am I going to needsome way to just, ripthis bottle open, yeah.There's really only onething left to figure out.Do the AirPods Pro secretlyhave a waterproof function?I can't really tell you as it's6:37 in the morning here in Portugal.But what I can tell you isI have a fully charged case,hope this doesn't ruin the case.you can see the AirPodsPro, if this works.If this work, no way, there's no way.It's connecting, thesethings are so resilient.Whoa Keaton's AirPods Pro 2.Zero percent of the left one,48% percent on the right one.Do I think they're gonna sound the same?(high pitched ringing)What?Didn't even have a noise cancellation.(high pitched ringing)Yeah, it's trying to connect to my iPhone.The left one is making theworst noise that I described,well, in the first test when it hit water.Please, please don't.I know, this is the firsttime I'm gonna say it.Oh my gosh, no!It's wanting noisecancellation mode somehow,someway, some why.(high pitched ringing)So it doesn't have any mode on here, well,I guess now it's innoise cancellation mode.We turn it off, see how that sounds.It sounds a little bitfaded, reduced to like,I think the fact that it's still probablyhas water somewhere in between it.Try transparency mode.Hello, one check, check.Yeah, that doesn't sound likeit's making a transparent difference so,AirPods Pro, secretly waterproof,I think we could say it, for one of 'em.Not totally.Does force sensors still work?Ooh.(calm music)Ooh, I'm on one.Well, literally I'm on one AirPod Pro.♪ I got water in my AirPods Pro ♪♪ you know what happened at my left one ♪♪ it just went out the door ♪That's gonna do it for this video,if you guys made it to theend make sure to drop a likeand comment down below what the
