POLL: Are you a fan of AirPods? Tell us why in your replies.

Hi

I have never used Airpods. but i can say exactly the Panasonic is the best headphones that i used.

Love the functionality (eg commanding Siri, start/stop music with touch), not to mention the sheer convenience of walking around while talking, untethered. Especially useful while cooking or dressing if you have to multitask while on the phone or listening to music! The downsides are the audio quality and battery life. If I really want to enjoy music or zone out and focus, I'll use my wired noise-cancelling bose headphones.

Airpods are successful because they improve by some margin almost every frustrating aspect of using earbuds. Combined together they let you put them on and get them back to charge in seconds, without context switching, and with zero cognitive effort. Other earbuds offered some of these improvements before them, but only Airpods offer them all in a package. This respects Apple's (mostly lost) tradition of only adopting a new UX paradigm when they're ready to knock it out of the park.

To another 40%, you don’t know what your are missing. Buddies, I feel sorry for all of you
