Our HouseCrosby, Stills, Nash & Young
The way we hear sound is our connection to the world and an essential part of building relationships with those around us.
This commercial introduces the hearing assistance features of AirPods Pro 2, which support that connection to the world and help maintain hearing health.
Memories built up with your child can become faint depending on how you hear them, but these features provide solid support—helping to sustain those relationships as well.
In this touching story about reliving memories with a child, the song the daughter performs is “Our House” by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
The original is a band sound with piano, but its gentle tone fits perfectly with the stripped-down, singer-songwriter style used in the commercial.
Where Is My MindTkay Maidza
This is a commercial that focuses on the noise-canceling feature of AirPods Pro, portraying how quiet it can get through a distinctive, imaginative world.
Various vehicles—including work trucks that typically make loud noises—are floating, and there’s even a parade happening in the air, creating a lively atmosphere.
Yet you can’t hear any of it, which depicts the silence brought about by the elimination of noise.
What really highlights this silence in the visuals is TK Maiza’s rendition of “Where Is My Mind.” It’s a cover of the Pixies’ song, and it feels more digitally oriented than the original.
The combination of soft sounds and gentle vocals conveys a strong sense of weightless floating.

Have you seen the commercial for Sony’s truly wireless earbuds, the WF-1000XM5, launched with the tagline “A higher level of silence”? MISIA singing in the desert is absolutely majestic.
In the ad, she performs “Kibō no Uta” (Song of Hope), written and composed by the one and only Akiko Yano.
The intro feels like the start of an opera, the lyrics have a sweeping, grand theme, and MISIA’s vocals light each phrase like kindling—no matter how you approach it, it’s a monumental track for listeners.
It’s a song that makes you think, “If only this could spread across the world…” Highly recommended!
