Apple AirPods - 1 Month Later #Helpful Post

o guys johnathan here and today we are

talking to air pops they're hard to find

easy to hate but it's very least they

have third up some mixed emotions the

initial reaction when you see air pods

for the first time is holy

I cut the cake was off slapped him in a

floss container and they're charging 160

bucks for these but still there's

something about air pods where even

though there's that voice inside your

head telling you you probably shouldn't

buy these you still kind of want to now

by no means are air pods cheap but on

the other end of the spectrum if we were

to stack them up against other truly

wireless earbuds it's not that crazy

Samsung's gear icon XR 169 braggy the -

our 249 and even something like the RO

can bit charge or 129 so when you break

it down like that the price becomes

something you may potentially be able to

justify but the one thing I haven't been

able to get past yet are though looks

this is how you think you look while

wearing air pods and this is how you

actually look

 

are they the ugliest piece of tech out

there right now definitely not but I'm

not sure we could have a serious

conversation with these in my ear right

now conversely since you are obviously

not paying for looks what you are paying

for is the tech inside these which is

some of the best out there right now for

starters the setup process even for the

first time is one of these simplest and

easiest things you'll ever do when it

comes to tech no joke from the sucky um

box sees you place into your phone you

pop open the cap press connect and that

is literally it I don't care if you love

Apple or you hate them this is how

pairing should be whether it's air pods

other bluetooth headphones gaming

headsets controllers if everything

paired this way the tech world would be

a better place what's also nice is you

only have to pair the air pods one time

and you're not gonna have to screw

around with pairing each earbud

individually on top of that from me

hands down the coolest feature with air

pods is the ability to play and pause

the song simply by taking an air pod out

of your ear so say your listener music

some guy walks up to you and says scuse

me sir

are those toothbrushes in your ear you

go huh what that's gonna automatically

pause the song and once you tell them no

sir these are air pods and pop it back

in your ear it will automatically resume

where you left off now what kind of

surprised me with this is the fact that

it's not limited to just alpha music

it's also gonna work with Spotify and

even YouTube as well so because of that

I think the most compelling thing about

air pods is convenience you're not

thinking about turning them on or

conversely when you're done listening to

music you're not asking yourself did I

turn them off you just pop them back in

the case and you kind of forget about it

now on the flip side of that if you

forget to put these back in your case

because there are absolutely no wires

there is a very serious chance you could

have lose one of these now speaking of

the case that is actually how you charge

the air pods and I'm not gonna lie Apple

in the past has made some pretty

questionable decision as far as charting

things goes but this actually works

really well as far as the air pots

themselves those should last around four

to five hours but if you do run out of

juice pop them in the case in 15 minutes

we'll get you three more hours of

listening time so I think it's safe to

say I am genuinely a fan of the tech

inside ear pods but by no means are

these perfect for starters by themselves

without using your phone Siri is

actually the only way to control volume

that's all good and well when you're at

home and no one is there to judge you

but if you're out in public especially

when they can't see the air pods in your

ears and you say volume up that's a

little weird

so by default you can access Syria by

double tapping on the air pods and jokes

aside it can be really useful having

quick access like that for questions or

navigation but how awesome could it have

been if there were some touch sensitive

controls in the air pods where you

swiped up or down to control the volume

on top of that for a hundred and sixty

bucks and how much Apple brags about the

iPhone 7 being water-resistant I kind of

would have liked to see air paws be

water resistant as well I have actually

tested these not only in the gym but the

sauna as well which is both wet and

extremely hot and so far they have yet

to die so that in itself is a good thing

but it would have been reassuring to

know they were geared to be water

resistant because that way if something

did happen to them they would probably

fix them in this case I walked into the

Apple store mr. Apple Genius is gonna

say sorry bro you brought these in the

sauna now playing devil's advocate for a

second it is no secret that Apple

products work well with other Apple

products whether it's iMessage on an

iPhone to a MacBook or in this case the

secret to the ultimate earpods

experience is the Apple watch with this

you Leavey ate the problem of a needing

to have your phone out in be sounding

like a crazy person in public through

the watch you have control over both

next and previous songs but more

importantly and potentially maybe even

more satisfying is controlling volume

with a digital crown let me be clear by

no means am i justifying the lack of

controls on air pods or am I saying that

you should go run out and buy an Apple

watch just to control your earbuds but

if you do have one already I'm not gonna

lie it is really cool now beyond all the

tech and even before sound quality the

one thing you got to ask yourself before

you think about buying these is do they

even fit in my ears the good news is is

because they are exactly the same as ear

posit those fit you're in luck but the

bad news is if those didn't fit it is

not getting any better here so me

personally ear pods have always fit

really well in my ear so with ear pods

it was no different they just hopped

right in and don't seem to fall up no

matter what I do

 

but on the flip side there are people I

know where ear pods or air pods won't

stay in to save their lives so once you

get past the question of whether or not

they actually fit in your ears the other

question is how do they sound which is

in turn evolved to do they sound any

better than ear pods the short answer

unfortunately is no they don't and

believe me part of you really wants them

to are at the very least maybe just a

little bit louder but the fact of the

matter is they sound exactly the same as

ear pods so with that you kind of gotta

take that with a grain of salt if you

liked or maybe even didn't mind ear pods

you're gonna like air pods but on the

flipside if you hated those you are not

gonna like these so at the end of the

day if you own an Android device don't

buy these if you see yourself as an

audiophile

don't buy these if ear pods did not fit

in your ears don't buy these but on the

flipside if you're in the Apple

ecosystem and the tech outweighs

everything else I would pick these up
