Nope. This is a real problem. I own the AirPods Pro, older version and the newer Max. Immediate onset of tinnitus when using pro. Went away after I stopped. Extensive use of the Max and regular AirPods don’t produce the same. Never had tinnitus. I also use AKG studio headphones, and I’ve had ultimate ears custom moulded for me by an audiologist for on stage use. I’ve also used a hell of a lot of other audio gear for on stage performance, production, phone calls and casual listening with no tinnitus or other effects.
Trust me when I tell you that this is the tip of the iceberg and may result in a massive lawsuit over permanent hearing damage. I avoid AirPods Pro like the plague now.
