AirPods, AirPods Pro, or Powerbeats pro?
Looking to use them for workouts as well as zoom calls. I am slightly concerned about the low battery life on the pro as I use my headphones almost all day.

I really wish I could say they’re overrated, but the AirPods Pro are the best headphones I’ve ever owned bar none.

The sound quality is fine, the transparency mode is magic, the noise cancelling is good enough (not quite as good as my Bose QCs but at 10% the size I’ll take that), I’ve gone on a long sweaty half marathon and they were never in danger of falling out, and pairing with the iPhone is truly seamless. I’ve had mine for about a year now with no noticeable decrease in battery life.

AirPods Pro. You’ll never have battery issues if you just pop them back in the charging case after use.

AirPod Pros transparency mode is great for meetings. I’d buy another today if they broke

Yeah it’s nice hearing yourself and surroundings. I can tolerate 6+ hours of meetings with no discomfort

The $60 AUKEY EP-N5 is an AirPod Pro clone with ANC. It’s on sale now on Amazon with a half off coupon

I have the beats pro and love them

Powerbeats pro rocks

I love my AirPods Pro. The noise cancelling is pretty good (especially if you have music on) and they’re so comfortable I forget I even have them in sometimes.

I have the Powerbeats pro. Sometimes one side doesn’t charge (it wasn’t snug in the case) but otherwise great headphones

I’ll try cleaning the charging pins and see, but heard the buzzing this week too. Hoping the reset will work too. My older over the ear headphones, right ear also died after a year of use, but ended up getting the beats pro and 3 because of the bass on them.

At the current price AirPods Pro are kind of a no brainer, especially if you have an iPhone

As someone who owns all of these: airpod pro > airpods by a big margin (noise cancellation alone is worth it). Could use the pros for workout, but I usually let my gf use those and use the beats for myself; the pros don’t have a solid enough connection for my terrible running form and will fall out every few miles (so they’re not terrible, just not AS good).

If [said company] asks to put you "on hold" for the month of December...but you found a better offer, do you:
-have to follow through with said gig
-communicate this with them if they haven't followed up yet (but added you to new slack channels)

(asking because I no longer wish to work with them) Thanks for the advice.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available.

Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

How are you developing client relationships when in-person networking is out?

I'm used to hanging out with my clients frequently, grabbing coffee, stopping by the office, etc. Zoom/Hangouts meetings just feel really awkward and it's difficult switching from business development which was 90% IRL to nearly all online... Especially when I run a 1-person shop.
