    I use Siri all the time as you describe. Phone calls are easy, messaging can be interesting. If messages are short you are usually ok but longer messages often get cutoff if you stop speaking for more than a short moment. Sometimes misinterprets words and it can be difficult to get them right.

    Those AirPod Pros are worth every cent.

    Hi Rob, I use Siri and can’t comment on anything else.


    One of the main reasons I bought my 2007 Range Rover was because I was doing very high milage and they were starting to get tough on phone use.


    The RR was supposed to have a voice operated phone system, but like most things on my RR, it never worked from new.


    I finally got hands free phone use when my daughter put me onto an iPhone with Siri.


    If you haven’t had a chance to play with Siri, well my first try was different.


    I didn’t know you had to instruct Siri to do what ever you needed it to and I simply spoke “hey Siri” and waited for it to do something.


    When it didn’t respond, I thought out loud “ you unless bloody heap of Sh..” and it instantly replied. “That is inappropriate language”


    I was hooked!

    I learn something new to use Siri for all the time.

    Siri can text form you hands free and read texts no dramas but I still wouldn't recommend texting more that "ok" or similar as it does still take your attention off the road.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    With my altered work arrangements I acquired some AirPod Pros so I don’t need to hold the bloody phone all day.

    Using Siri I can control all the functions, email, sms, music Iphone siri or samsung bixby

    And no background noise is a good thing! (It also has a pass thru function for safety)

    The AirPod Pro has noise cancellation.
    It makes for peaceful listening.

    If in a place where being unable to hear the outside world
    Could be dangerous eg. Driving, jogging etc. you can have the pods ‘pass’ the outside ambient sounds through as well.

    In practice you can basically hold a conversation with someone with them in.
