How Cool, Wireless Apple AirPods!

Now Apple give us the wireless AirPods. Simple Bluetooth enabled wireless earphones but the design of the AirPods is defined by the geometry of the ear. Which makes them more comfortable for more people than any other earbud-style headphones. The speakers inside  have been engineered to maximize sound output and minimize sound loss.

The Great

• Wireless
• Truly terrific sound
• Compact caring case
• Easy to use and connect
• Auto shifts between mono and stereo

The Not

• $159 is  little high
• One-size-fits-all design
• No in line remote

The Conclusion

I am absolutely shocked at how rich and punchy these sound.  They are small, easy to use, instantly connected and viably wireless. They are the complete earphone solution. If I could get a little more battery life, Id be in Elysium.

The Fit

Unlike traditional, circular earbuds, the design of the new Apple EarPods is defined by the geometry of the ear. Which makes them more comfortable for more people than any other earbud-style headphone. They fit perfect, the most comfortable Ive used, that all I can ask. They are one sized fits all so fit may vary by person

The Sound

Im overly impressed with the sound. The speakers inside Apple Air Pods have been engineered to minimize sound loss and maximize sound output. So you get high-quality audio that’s just as impressive as what you’d hear from any of the more expensive headphones. Its very rich, booming sounds on the low and the highs have a nice balance and pop. My opinion, they are louder then the Bose, and crisper then Beats and the quality is second to none.

The Day to Day

The caring case makes this whole process easier. They charge in the case so they only time they are out the case they are in my ear. With Siri I have voice control abilities that function for most of my use. Batteries last me almost through the day, it would be nice to have just a little more life but its not an issue or a deal breaker. I really like how they do only connect to one thing at once even if you are sitting with your apple watch mac and phone and iPad there all at once and the Bluetooth connection doesn’t chop or change around. My only gripe is the volume control, you shouldn’t have to rely on Siri to do that.

Final Thought

I was very skeptical to buy the Air Pods. But they are absolutely fabulous  headphones.  Comparing  them to the other headphones I have owned, Beats, Skull and Bose. They look beautiful, the sound is stellar, the use is easy and they are super comfortable for me , but everyone’s ears are different. If you find the wired headphones comfortable, then you are going to love them. Thank you, Apple, for another extraordinary product!
