Apple - AirPods with Charging Case (2nd generation) - White

I'll admit that for one, I am not a picky person, and for two, I am not all that tech savvy; so, if you can relate, get these! I don't write too many reviews but I just had to for this product because it ended up being better than I thought. I bought these partly because I don't know what happened to my Jaybird Bluetooth earbuds and partly because I just wanted to buy something after getting financial aid haha. So, I'll get to the pros and cons that I have noticed so far after 4 days of good use. Sorry if this review is long haha. **Also, case not included, I bought it off Amazon :) PROS: -Sound quality is nice and clear -Sound can get VERY loud if that is what you prefer -Battery life is pretty decent -You can use only one ear bud if you prefer -Double tap feature to go to the next song is awesome -I can leave my phone in my room and go all the way to the bathroom or kitchen and the Airpods stay connected! -Airpod case holds a decent charge so I won't have to constantly bring my charger everywhere (since I don't own an iPhone) -Customizable via cases -Music or audio pauses when you pull your earbud out of your ear which is cool -They fit in my average to small sized ears which is nice but if they don't fit you can always just buy rubber slip-ons for them :) -Comes with lightning cable for those of us who don't already have one (but adapter not included) -Seamless connectivity to both my iPad, my computer w/ Bluetooth, and my Samsung phone CONS: -Not the Airpods fault, but for my custom case in particular, the case covers the button on the back of the Airpods that is needed to connect to a device for the first time, and my case is hard to take off (but again, that's my fault haha) -If you are disorganized and clutzy like me then you most likely will lose one or both HOWEVER I remember reading that there is an app for iPhone users where you can track them down if they are in their case so that is nice (not for us Android users though lol) -I remember reading that some people had problems with their Airpods holding a similar charge, like one was weaker than the other, and that's a con but I don't know if it is necessarily going to be most people's experience, only time can tell -The most frustrating con that I have experienced so far with about 4 days of use is that if you do not own an apple product such as an iPhone or iPad, then it is going to be hard for you to tell at what percentage your Airpods and case are at because even apps for Android devices that help you with that are not the most accurate, I have tested this because I own an iPad and a Samsung phone and the app and my iPad showed different percentages of Battery life, the app was off by either 5% or 10% most of the time With all that being said, it is really hard to complain about these Airpods. Believe me, I wanted to not like these because for years they have been a trendy thing and I tend to be stubborn and go against the new trend of the year so that's why it took me so long to finally get these, but better late than never. Seriously, just get them, especially if you're not too particular of a person and really just want some easy to use wireless earbuds. I actually prefer wired earbuds most of the time, but since my new phone does not have an audio adapter and I lost the wireless buds I had previously, I figured why not. At least wireless earbuds don't get tangled up in your pocket. **Only reason I gave Value 4/5 is because 130 bucks for some earbuds is still pretty expensive, even if they are really good Some extra info: I have owned Beats Solo Wireless headphones and Jaybirds wireless earbuds and as much as I loved both of those devices, I think I am probably going to end up liking these Airpods a whole lot more! My Beats and my Jaybirds did NOT have the same long-range connectivity as these Airpods do. I also must say that these Airpods are way more comfortable than having a heavy headset on and having the rubber wings of my Jaybird earbuds jabbing into my ear crevices for hours. So, just things to consider if you have also owned devices such as these :)

First and foremost, the sound quality is simply outstanding. The AirPods deliver crisp, clear, and immersive audio that brings music, podcasts, and movies to life. The balance of bass, midrange, and treble is perfectly calibrated, ensuring an enjoyable listening experience across a wide range of genres. Whether I'm rocking out to my favorite tunes or engrossed in an audiobook, the sound reproduction is flawless. One of the standout features of the AirPods 2nd generation is their seamless connectivity. Pairing them with my iPhone was effortless, thanks to the intuitive and efficient pairing process. The moment I removed the AirPods from their case, they instantly connected to my device, allowing me to indulge in my audio content without any hassle. Furthermore, the Bluetooth connection remains stable and reliable, enabling uninterrupted playback even when I'm on the move. The design and comfort of the AirPods are also praiseworthy. They fit snugly in my ears and stay put, even during intense workouts or walks. The lightweight construction ensures that I can wear them for extended periods without any discomfort. Additionally, the absence of wires makes them incredibly convenient, eliminating the hassle of tangled cords while providing the freedom to move around effortlessly. The battery life of the AirPods is remarkable. The earbuds themselves offer around five hours of continuous playback, and the accompanying charging case provides multiple additional charges, extending the total usage time. The charging case is compact and easy to carry, ensuring that I can keep my AirPods powered up on the go. Another feature that has truly impressed me is the integration with Apple's ecosystem. The AirPods seamlessly sync with all my Apple devices, allowing me to switch between them effortlessly. Whether I'm listening to music on my iPhone, watching videos on my iPad, or taking calls on my MacBook, the transition is seamless, and the AirPods automatically connect to the active device. Lastly, the AirPods boast a range of intelligent features, including Siri integration and touch controls. With a simple tap, I can summon Siri to perform various tasks, such as adjusting the volume, skipping tracks, or answering calls. The touch controls are responsive and intuitive, making it easy to manage my audio playback without needing to reach for my device. In conclusion, the Apple AirPods 2nd generation have exceeded my expectations in every way. They deliver exceptional sound quality, provide convenient wireless connectivity, and boast a sleek and comfortable design. With their long battery life and seamless integration with Apple devices, they have become an indispensable companion for my daily routines. If you're in the market for wireless earbuds that offer a premium audio experience, the AirPods 2nd generation are an excellent choice. Highly recommended!

I got these on sale at Best Buy for $99 to replace a set of Soundcore earbuds. I really never understood the hype of the AirPods, until I tried them. The sound quality is amazing, deep rich bass, crisp highs, and clear mid tones. I was afraid the fit wouldn’t be great and they would fall out, but they have been pretty good so far. I did get some silicone covers for the earbuds, and maybe this is why the stay in so well. I use the AirPods everyday, and with the included charging case I easily get a full days worth of listening. Phone calls with these paired to my iPhone 12 Pro Max is fantastic. Just like every Apple device, as soon as I opened the AirPods, they instantly paired to my phone and I was ready to go. I thought about going with the AirPods Pro Gen 2, and still might. But for $99, these are a steal, and really can’t be beat. Yes, highly recommended!
