HeadphonesAddict reports a U-shaped response with elevated sub-bass. Its ANC-off response is more balanced, while ANC-on lifts treble. The reviewer says Adaptive EQ may affect the measured response.17Reviewheadphonesaddict.com/apple-airpods-pro-2-usb-c-reviewRead 7 October 2026Exact USB-C review publishes separate ANC on/off graphs. Method: MiniDSP H.E.A.R.S. and REW, 20 Hz-20 kHz sweeps, 94 dB earbuds baseline at 300 Hz, five repositioned measurements averaged with 1/12 smoothing. Target is its flat reference, not Harman. Test host, codec, firmware and tips are not stated. These notes retain the reviewer’s measured response description without inventing numeric target deviations.
