Overview of TicPods 2 Pro
The number of models of wireless headphones is growingat a tremendous pace. The reason for this is the policy of smartphone manufacturers who, for one reason or another, remove the physical audio connector, forcing users to switch to "wireless". Apple Airpods remains the market leader, no matter what they say or release. They are balanced and comfortable, what is there to hide.
Xiaomi TicPods 2 Pro headphones designed to displacean apple headset from Olympus, offering the market a unique functionality that even Jobs's followers could not previously implement. It's about managing a headset by head movement and about swipe volume control on the surface of the “legs” of the headphones up or down.

Reviews
Already online you can find reviews about TicPods 2Pro. Users are very pleased with the ergonomics of the model, emphasize a comfortable fit in the auricle. The sound is great, no worse than Airpods for sure. As for the delay, which is inherent in all TWS headsets, they are practically absent here. Noise reduction really works, but naturally it will not be as noticeable as, for example, in channel models.
By cons TicPods 2 Pro users include the lack ofthe ability to use headphones separately. Rather, only the left earphone can be used as a mono headset. If you remove it in a case, the right one will automatically turn off.
