The sound quality is outstanding, delivering clear, crisp audio with a balanced bass that enhances every listening experience. Whether I'm listening to my favorite tunes, taking an important call, or catching up on the latest podcast, the sound is always top-notch.
The fit is incredibly comfortable, even during extended use. They stay securely in place whether I'm working out, commuting, or just relaxing at home. The battery life is impressive, providing hours of uninterrupted listening, and the charging case is a game-changer. Just a quick charge gives me hours of use, making them perfect for long days on the go.
One of the standout features is the seamless integration with Siri. Voice commands work flawlessly, making it easy to control my music, make calls, and check messages without having to reach for my phone. The built-in microphones ensure my voice comes through loud and clear, even in noisy environments.
Overall, the Apple AirPods (2nd Generation) have exceeded my expectations in every way. They are the perfect combination of style, convenience, and superior sound quality. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality wireless earbuds. Well done, Apple!
Sound quality: Straight out of the box, sound is pretty solid. No crackles, static, pops, or any abnormal noises created by the more economic-friendly headsets. You have a lot more adjustability & tuning capabilities if paired on an iOS/Apple device vs using for example paired with an Android OS device. So, ultimately Apple users may or may not get a better sound quality experience.
Noise cancellation: AirPods do fit fairly well in the ear without having to be jammed inside your ear canal. Generally they create a snug fit using Apple's "universal" earphone design, it is one size fits most not one size fits all. Some users have upgraded or opted to spend the additional funds on a set of AirPods Pro due to the rubber tips for a better/snug fit. I believe only the AirPods Pro currently has an active noise cancellation utilizing two microphones but I would double-check Apple for accurate information. Also, for Android users. The Galaxy buds by Samsung feature active noise cancellation & wireless charging case on every model so you might want to look into that product before making a final purchase.
Battery life: For optimal battery life, I highly recommend charging both AirPods inside the case. The case itself is a battery pack with a life. So if one or both AirPods are low on battery, you can toss them in the case and charge them up. Apple I believe rates 5 minutes of charging time is equivalent to 1 hour of talk/listening time and 15 minutes of charging time is equivalent to 2 hours of talk/listening. I'm sure this is accurate when they're brand new but I'm sure like anything, normal ware & tare might diminish that over time.
Warranty: Apple provides a 1-year standard manufacturer's warranty on this product. This ONLY covers defects/defaults from the manufacturer. This will NOT cover physical and/or liquid damages to AirPods, case, or charging cable included.
AppleCare: It's $29.00 and 2 years and well worth the extra money. You're already spending this kind of money on a headset, may as well have protection. We get it, accidents happen! But protect yourself and get your AirPods repaired/replaced at no additional cost to YOU! There is no additional fees or deductibles involved.
AppleCare tips:
You don't have to install AppleCare right away. You have 60 days from the original purchase date to contact Apple by providing your AirPods serial number (on outside of the box) and Apple will tell you if you're still eligible.
You can renew AppleCare for another 2 years for the same fee of $29.00 provided you want to keep the same product. If you decide to upgrade to the AirPods Pro or whatever the latest model is, you would have to purchase AppleCare for that specific product.
You can go into an Apple store location and get live repair/replacement on your AirPods.
Using AirPods with Android:
Apple has allowed Android and other non-iOS devices to use AirPods since the AirPods pair/connect via BlueTooth.
If you're using AirPods on an Android platform such as Samsung or LG for example there's 2 ways to pair the headset to your device. You either turn on BlueTooth on your device, pop both AirPods inside your ear, find "AirPods" under available connections, and connect. Or you might have to pair manually using the button on the AirPods case to make available, pair, and connect.
FAIR WARNING:
You will NOT have access to all features that the AirPods have to offer on an Apple/iOS device. You will be limited on functions you can perform.
I was able to find an app on Google play store for $1.99 called "AirPopUp". It is a paid application that unlock access to certain/more features of the AirPods similar to what an Apple/iOS device would be granted. Be aware that you will NOT have access nor the ability to have every single feature since you're not on Apple's network. There may be other apps (most likely paid applications) you'd have to find that may unlock more features such as: AirPods battery life percentage, case battery life percentage, programming LEFT & RIGHT AirPods for certain function(s), skipping/pausing/resetting songs, answer/decline/hang up phone calls, find my AirPods, and more.
For Samsung users specifically, you might want to look into the Galaxy Buds. They're a little cheaper than AirPods, I believe Amazon has them for $109.99 + $22 3-Year insurance through Assurion that does cover physical/liquid/accidental damage just like AirPods.
Galaxy Buds features:
Made by Samsung
Audio powered by AKG
Rubber ear bud tips
Pair with Samsung device to get the most
Wireless charging case
Active noise cancellation
Comes in multiple colors (black/white/silver/yellow/red & black combo with Star Wars edition Galaxy Note 10+)
Includes changing cord and replacement rubber earbud tips.
I know if you pair the Galaxy Buds with a Samsung device it will automatically download an application titled "Galaxy Wearable". This allows users to check battery life status of the case and each bud, prompts you for software updates, ability to program LEFT & RIGHT earbuds to do certain function(s), answer/decline/hang up phone calls, pause/skip/reset songs.
Apple may charge a lot of money for their products on accessories but they never fall short of being a revolutionary, well-designed, reliable product that works as advertised.
**Pros:**
1. **Effortless Setup:** Pairing the AirPods with my iPhone was a breeze. The instant connection feature is a game-changer, making it incredibly easy to switch between devices.
2. **Battery Life:** The battery life is impressive, lasting over 24 hours with the included Lightning charging case. I can go days without needing to recharge, which is perfect for my on-the-go lifestyle.
3. **Sound Quality:** The sound quality is excellent, providing clear, crisp audio whether I'm listening to music, podcasts, or taking calls. The built-in microphone also works well for voice commands and phone conversations.
4. **Comfort:** The design of the AirPods ensures a comfortable fit, even during extended use. They stay in place during workouts and daily activities.
5. **Portability:** The compact size of the AirPods and the charging case make them incredibly portable. They easily fit into my pocket or bag, ready for use whenever I need them.
**Cons:**
1. **Price:** While the AirPods are a bit pricey compared to other wireless earbuds on the market, I believe the quality and convenience justify the cost.
2. **Customization:** There are limited options for customizing the sound profile. However, the default settings are satisfactory for most users.
Overall, the Apple AirPods (2nd Generation) are a fantastic investment for anyone seeking high-quality wireless earbuds. They offer a seamless experience with Apple devices, excellent battery life, and superior sound quality. Highly recommended!
