Apple AirPods - Wireless earphones from Apple

Apple AirPods are gorgeous wireless headphones. Just take them out and they’re ready to use with all your devices. Put them in your ears and they connect instantly. Speak into them and your voice sounds clear.

Looking forward to Apple's first mobile game - AirPods Go - if you know what I mean.

Absolutely stunning. Good bye Dash. Really like the charging case (24h battery life) and the auto connection if you open the case. For 160.- buck not cheap but I will buy them anyways...

@jonas_petermann It looks like the old earbuds without the wire. How is that stunning

@matthui It is indeed stunning to pack 5h of battery, bluetooth, microphones and IR sensors in the same "old" form factor even without visible charging connectors like the competition does. And I have no problem what so ever with the fit of the earbuds but I know a lot of people do...

I'm looking forward to trying these out. The original earphones are too big for me ears so hopefully these fit better.

@erictwillis The more recent wired earbuds from Apple fell out of my ears all the time. Complete dealbreaker for me to even try these.

Ever dreamed about charging your earbuds? Paying $150 for a pair? Swallowing them? Now you can with the new Apple AirPods

Pros:

The best Apple product since the iPhone. I don't go anywhere without my AirPods.

100% chance I'm going to lose these (if I had the money of course)

Wonder what kind of radiation footprint these things put out directly next to your brain. I, personally, I am still very skeptical of wireless wearables. The long-term health effects are not known yet, but the convenience of using them is definitely here.

I think the product is interesting. It's really well-suited for people who are on the go, who hate that their cord gets in the way. The battery life is okay - however I don't know about the battery life comparable products. The price does seem in line with high-end headphones, and I think that the voice activation is nice. Personally, the best value of EarPods is the mic/audio control dongle. The AirPods seem to do a lot more than just that... I also asked a few real folks to voice their opinion and chime in on the conversation. You can view their video feedback here: https://sprint.dscout.com/s/7hn6...

@jackbwheeler Nice review. I agree.

So everyone seems to be talking about battery, design and the missing jack. But what about the sound quality? That's what headphones are for! What do you guys think? Has anyone in PH tried them already? 🤔
Max Savin
@alexabian surprisingly, Apple did not emphasize sound quality heavily

@alexabian They'll be distinctly average or below average. Unfortunately, they're the only headphones that don't instantly fall out of my ears (they eventually do).

[thinking to self] "How many times have my earbud(s) fallen out of my ear(s) only to be saved from hitting the ground, falling down drains, or onto metro tracks b/c they were wired....?" these seem cool & kudos to apple for pushing the envelope....but earbuds without the wire is like jumping off of a bridge without a bungee. I have a feeling 2017 will feature a ton of eBay listings w/ single R/L airPods looking for mates
