Simply adore them

I am a habitual AirPods owner now. It started after I lost my first pair. After a month, I gave up finding and bought a second pair. Of course, you know as soon as the second pair shows up I find the first pair. I did not return the second pair. I now have designated one set for the house and the other pair lives in my pocketbook. I absolutely love these things because I can’t stand anything poking inside my ear canal. They rest beautifully in my ear and I now use the little aftermarket AirPods catcher. To date I’ve not lost either pair.

Essential Tech for the Urban Hustle

They’ve been an absolute essential for me, especially in the office and on the go. Whether I’m hopping on calls or multitasking on my computer, they keep me connected without missing a beat. The real MVP feature for me has been using them while driving – Google Maps directions and hands-free calls are crystal clear. Plus, they’re so lightweight, wearing them for hours is no biggie. Couldn’t recommend them enough for anyone looking to streamline their tech game.

Not Very Pleased

I received this product and was originally extremely happy with this. I loved that it was connected to my phone and would read text messages to me while in use. However, after just a few months the in ear speakers stopped producing sound as loud as it originally did. I have not even had these headphones for a full year and the in ear speakers have both completely stopped working and it is difficult to hear out of the speaker that is further back on the headphone… which means I need my volume turned up a little louder to be able to hear… which also means my phone is constantly telling me my listening volume is too loud although I can barely hear. Prior to buying these headphones I typically would spend $20-30 on headphones at Walmart, Target, or similar stores because of the same reasons [the speakers in ear over time stop working]. I will go back to buying cheaper headphones as they last about the same time as the apple headphones but for a much lower price. Very unhappy at the amount of money I paid and quality of the headphones did not even last half a year.

Great Price for Apple Air Pods

I purchased the 2nd gen air pods because they were at a big discount. My 1st gen air pods had started to fail and were over 5 years old. The 2nd gen air pods have a great battery life. I would recommend that when you get them. Charge them for at least 24 hours to get a good full charge your first time. I have not tested out the life of the battery. I am sure that if I take good care of them. They will last as long as my 1gen… if not longer. Sound quality is good. I feel that I can’t get as loud on the 2nd gen as I could on my old 1st gen. That could be my limited time with them. its been a week. I can’t speak for the noise cancellation. I only use my air pods when I am not distracted and in quite areas. They feel good in my hands and in my ears. Very good build quality. If you have air pods and they need to be replaced. I would recommend the 2nd gen just on the price alone. shipping and handling was under 80 bucks.

Very practical

Taking the Apple AirPods at face value, they’re a solid headset for the money! If you already have the original, first generation AirPods and just want to upgrade, not a bad option either. The 2nd generation AirPods feature an improved software chip & runs off of BlueTooth 5.0 vs 4.1 (Gen 1). The software chip allows a faster, stronger, and more stable connection with your device(s). This particular item for $139.00 does NOT feature the wireless charging case. This one must be plugged in via USB (cable provided in the box) to an outlet or USB port. The wireless charging case model is $169. Now if you’re looking to upgrade to the wireless charging case later on, you can. Apple does sell it separately. If you want the wireless charging option right out of the box, I recommend sending the $169 vs the $139 product here.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 SamsungAudio powered by AKGRubber ear bud tipsPair with Samsung device to get the mostWireless charging caseActive noise cancellationComes 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.

I use these daily

I have bought three pairs of these…First pair went through the wash and were run over (my bad).Second pair my son threw away but we didn’t notice before trash day….and then this pair.I tell you this because I keep coming back to these headphones. I love how well they work with the iPhone, that I can use Siri, have it read texts, etc.The battery is fantastic. I can listen to books for hours. I do one airpod in at a time (unless I really want to listen to the music, movie, etc). I can do voice calls, etc. and listen to podcasts, books, and charge it at night. Usually I listen for 7 hours a day while I’m working, cleaning, etc. and I charge the base at night (it’s rarely below 50%). They charge quickly when in the base.

Best ear buds!

I love these ear buds! I have tried quite a few and these are the best. They have great sound quality and fit well. I like that they don’t fall out of my ears and don’t block off my ear canal. I’m an android guy and these pair perfectly.

Provide freedom

I really like the Air Pods and they are working extremely well. They give me the freedom to take walks and move around while using my IPhone. Sound is clear and very good. Able to make calls via Siri with my IPhone in my pocket. Works great.

Easy, Reliable, and Still Going Strong

I’ve been using the Apple AirPods 2nd Generation for over a year now, and they’ve been fantastic. Setting them up with my Apple devices was super easy, and they connect automatically every time I use them.The sound quality is great for everyday listening, and they’re comfortable to wear for long periods. I’ve been impressed with how well they’ve held up over time, both in terms of build quality and battery life. The charging case is handy and keeps them powered up when I’m on the move.Even though they don’t have all the fancy features like noise cancellation, they still deliver a solid wireless experience. Plus, they work seamlessly with Siri for hands-free control.Overall, if you’re looking for reliable wireless earbuds that are easy to use and offer good sound quality, the AirPods 2nd Generation are a solid choice.

these are awesome.

These are so great. very useful. the music quality is so good. the noise cancellation is so good too!i definitely recommend Air Pods, my whole family uses them. after a while you will need to replace them, but they are worth it. they also get pretty dirty pretty fast. you can clean them; you just have to be careful.
