Just tried out the new low noise quick release propellers today on the original Mavic pro. They work very well. Very pleased.

"Work very well" meaning they get the aircraft in the air as advertised, or work very well meaning that you can actually hear a large difference in sound?  I hear that a couple dB difference at the level we're talking is barely detectable if you're a human...?

Has anyone tried running these props with older pre-nerf firmware?

What makes them low noise? Did they increase the pitch of the blade and lower the blade speed? If they did could it make the esc's, motor's and battery work harder? Just asking, would like to know before I try and buy them.  Jimmy

Cool; that's a positive feedback so far.

One of the lucky few to have in possession at this point.

I received mine yesterday and worked fine...had to do a NFZ update and after that I was able to lift off for a quick test. It seems to me that at first thrust to lift off, it sounded about the same but once up and hovering I noticed it does have a slightly different pitch, tighter and cleaner. I was in narrow confines of the backyard so sound probably was more magnified than if I was in an open field. The difference is small but it does seem to have taken the edge off the original props noise level. About what I expected...the gold tips match the MP gold decals so that's a plus.

Pretty much everything here is placebo effect.  The only proper test ive found where someone actually measures sound levels n a semi controlled way found a 1db change in noise.  Which no human at all will notice (its debatable they'd notice 4db from the platinum yet alone 1db).

"difference is small but it does seem to have taken the edge off the original props noise level."

Basically what I'd expected. Minimal diff nonetheless.

Yeah, after waiting a month for them to become available, possibly dealing with returns to Amazon/ebay scammers, and then having to check the DJI store 30 times just to find some in stock, the last thing a person wants to do is admit to themselves that it all made no difference.

I have ordered mine (weeks ago!) and have my digital sound meter waiting.  I'll be flying it inside a room in identical flights and surroundings and uploading the results on here and to my YouTube channel.  If and when I get them.....  

Cheers,
