Headsets come in all  sizes and shapes, and one popular style happens to be earbuds. And in that category, Apple  Airpods are highly popular. I know, I own a pair. But, when it  comes to using Airpods on business calls, is that a good idea, or is that something that would qualify you for some serious psychological counseling?

In this episode, I'll give you my thoughts on whether  I think you should, or  shouldn't  use Airpods for your business calls.

For starters,  there are a number of things that go into a professional, great sounding headset.  But for the sake  of  this podcast,  I'll keep this narrowly focused on the microphone, and even  more  specifically, the microphone's ability to eliminate unwanted background  noise. So with that  said, let's find out if the new Apple Airpods Pro 2 are up to the challenge.

Not long ago  I wrote a blog about the Apple Airpods 3,  and whether those earbuds were a good idea for use on business calls. And if you happen to have read, or listened to  it, you'll know that I wasn't giving them an enthusiastic endorsement for that kind of use. I'm pretty sure I used the word "sucks" in that blog more than I've ever used it. This is due to the degree to which it failed our sound tests. Weput the Airpods 3 up against the sounds of office noise, dogs barking,  and a baby crying. All of these noises  could be clearly heard, which says to  me  that the Airpods 3 essentially has zero noise reducing qualities.

Fast forward, and now the new Airpods Pro 2 have arrived. Needless to say, I was highly interested to see if Apple stepped up and fixed this issue in this new model.  Sadly, I have to report that the Airpods Pro 2 performed pretty much the same as its predecessor, i.e., a major  noise canceling flop. But I don't want you to take  my word for it.  Instead, I'd invite you to watch our Youtube Short  here and you can decide for yourself if that's the sound you're  looking for. If it is, God bless you. But for me,  I can't get far enough away of that kind of noise reduction if I'm on a business call. 

Two headsets that you might consider for your business calls instead of these underperforming Airpods Pro 2's are:

• The Orosound Tilde  Pro
• The Jabra Engage 50 II

Both of these headsets have amazing sound quality, which means you'll  sound great to your callers. And both remove nearly all the noise in the background. I know, because we tested both of them. These are professional, business grade headsets that are great for your most important business calls.
