Build and Design Let’s begin here. In our unboxing of the Oraimo FreePods 2 Pro, we mentioned that it looked exactly like the Apple Airpods Pro, and without the Oraimo branding on the stem of the earbud, it can easily be mistaken for the Apple Airpods Pro. However, while the Oraimo FreePods 2 Pro feels comfortable in the ear, it doesn’t fit perfectly and tightly like the Apple AirPods Pro. But then, you can choose from the other ear tip sizes (small-sized(S), medium-sized (M), Large-sized(L)) that ship with it, to get the best fit for your ear....
