AirPods Pro

This is my review of the AirPods Pro versus the Sony WF-1000 XM3. Now, before Apple's AirPods Pro came out, my favourite wireless earphones were Sony's XM3. XM3 is a very well-reviewed and well-respected set of wireless active noise-cancelling earphones, which is the same product category as the AirPods Pro. When Apple launched this product a few days ago, I thought that there's no way that the AirPods sound better than the XM3 and have a better active noise cancelling feature because the active noise cancelling in XM3 is very powerful. I was right! Sony sound so much better; stronger bass! The XM3 has better noise cancellation but I consider Apple's AirPods Pro to be the better product by a long shot. It's because of user experience.


The tips on the AirPods Pro are super-comfortable and it's really important to nail the fit of these tips in your ears to provide the best possible sound isolation. The entire active-noise cancellation depends on a good seal, regardless of which company you go with. The way that Apple handles it is quite good. It's not intimidating. They have an app to guide you through it. The app is not super-helpful but for a lot of people who have not experienced in-ear earphones. it's nice to have guidance. When you pop the tips off. there's a mesh at the base of this silicon tip. Apple's also put this pressure valve on them to stabilise the air pressure in your ears. It has decent water resistance. It also has a great sounding mic, way better than Sony's and the previous AirPods. You will get around 5 hours of battery with active noise cancellation which is actually more than what they advertise. There's also a transparency mode which allows the mic to pick up voices or important sounds around you. It will pipe the sounds in your ear so you can be aware of your surroundings. It's a nice and simple feature, done well!



In terms of the active noise cancelling. the AirPods do it well but Sony does it way better. The Sony ones can handle way louder noises. I feel like it's double of what the AirPods Pro can do. The AirPods Pro are good as well, they do it way better than the previous AirPods.





There are somethings that I don't like about the AirPods Pro. First, is the lack of volume control. Maybe(just maybe), Apple wants us to use Siri most often, but there are times you don't want to say things or pull your phone out to control the volume. I feel like they should have given user touch-based volume controls. The last and the most important complaint about this device; The fact that the batteries cannot be removed and it sucks knowing that in 2 years time everything will be fine except the battery.




If you are an Android user and are wondering if the AirPods connect to an Android device... It works! Everything is not gonna be there but all the important functionalities are there. The transparency mode, active noise cancellation and all the good stuff are there.




Here's my final take on this: This is a perfect, well-built Apple product. This reminds me of what Apple can do when they want to. They are a super-loved company because they drop things like this.
They are not the best sound-quality or active noise cancelling featured but the best overall package. If you like my blog, tell me in the comments below or email me - Email

    Hey,
    This blog is actually very interesting and gave out a lots of information but u've missed out one thing, the air pods pro are noise cancelling. There are three modes to in the air pods pro which is: Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency mode, and Off. This is the only feature that is now on trending. Rest all the informations are very accurate and filled with knowledge

Apple's AirTags

This blog is to discuss if AirTags really prevent thefts... Misusage So I read a lot of theories on how these tags are actually helping in the thefts. So if you are a thief and stealing a bike with an AirTag, you get a notification on your iPhone and then you can easily disable that. But, it's not so easy. The Tag does not notify you that an AirTag is with you until you reach a landmark. So that the owner knows you stopped at that landmark. Maybe your house, mall or a restaurant. Now there is one problem with this. If I have an AirTag and I plant it in your bag for example. So you won't know something with a GPS is with you giving your location and telling the landmark you are at. So people can track you and that is both scary and creepy. Good or Bad? Eh.. A bit of both. So, it's great if someone is trying to steal your stuff but, it's creepy when someone is stalking your movement. But, this is the first time Apple is doing this so it is not perfect but, I believe it is...

Acer Nitro 5

Hey Guys! Welcome back to Interesting Intelligence! This is my review of the 2020 Acer Nitro 5. The cheapest gaming laptop with AMD Ryzen CPUs and up to an RTX 2060 for students and small budgets. This is a 670$ machine. The Acer Nitro Series has traditionally been very inexpensive and people have been interested in this device because of its price but this year they made very significant improvements. First, I am going to talk about some minor issues which you should be aware of. The first issue is the screen but the more important one is the keyboard. The screen is a 60Hz 1080p panel. It is the standard screen you would expect at this price. The colour accuracy is not great but it is okay for the price. My issue is the brightness and when you are playing shooter games, it is not easy to trace people in dim light. The second thing is the keyboard. I personally find it uncomfortable for gaming. I feel that the W, A, S, D keys are very close to the left side of the...

17' Razer Blade Pro 2019

 Hey Guys, Welcome back to Interesting Intelligence! This laptop is SO much better than the previous blade pro. The thermals are crazy good. I would say that it is their best gaming laptop with awesome thermal performance. This laptop is brand new from this year, It is completely redesigned. It is their most expensive, most powerful and the most big-screened gaming laptop and it's a nice looking unit. I like this laptop a lot, however, there are some things which I want you to know if you're interested in picking this thing up! 1) Hardware The build of this device is very similar to the build of the 15' this year. It's got the same kind of design, shape, the light-up snake logo up front. It is very much an updated Razer product. I highly recommend you for getting a case or skin it if you buy a black one because even with very safe handling this device sometimes has dents and they are very much visible on a black one.         This laptop is obviously big...
