I dunno but I'm sure it's the same quality or better audio than those airpods.

i'll stick with v1 and just get the wireless charging case



Not saying you should get v2, but you have to be some sort of crazy to spend $80 on a wireless charging case as standalone. Of course Apple would charge only $40 more for wireless charge case version with pods vs. lightning only version with pods, but then charge TWICE as much just to buy the case standalone at $80

I’m sure if they haven’t been opened yet and you have the receipt for them you can, where did you buy them?

I feel like the ATV connectivity is something especially alot of poeple don't think a bout. That's a lifesaver with a baby still in my room.


Wtf, they connect to Apple TV? The last couple babies required some closed captioning so I could keep the volume off. You may have sold a pair of AirPods.

Why are you listening to music in your earbuds from across the room from your phone? Why not listen to them on big speakers? If you are all like "cause other people are in the room" well guess what? you are annoying them now by saying "hey siri, let me listen to imagine dragons" oh shite not cajun dragons, imagine dragons didn't work "hey siri, LET ME LISTEN TO IMAGINE DRAGONS".


It's really nice when I'm on my evening jogs (without my phone) and when I get to the end of my run I can say "Hey Siri, open the garage." and my garage door opens.

Do any of those connect to my Phone/Apple TV/Macbook etc. as easily?

I have a nice set of B&O's that I use quite a bit, but I use the AirPods way more often because of the convenience. You can pretend that I don't get the enjoyment out of the AirPods that I do. I'm going to keep using them.

Define easy.

This is the process of me using my bluetooth headphones. Turn on----It's connected

On PC, Go to bottom right and choose bluetooth, then the device, it's connected.

I mean, you can't get simpler than that unless you have one device going to one device. Even on your Mac and Iphone, you'll have to choose which device you want it to connect to. It's the same process.

You're not doing that without your watch.

You open your case, it quickly connects. And, without touching anything, it pops up with the battery life of each airpod and the case. Truly great fitting, clean headphones, that don't look nearly as cheap as the stuff you see on Amazon that creates bots to pump up their rating

Haha yep. I don't know why I didn't think to try it sooner. I've got DTNow so I can watch anything I want too. They really should market that aspect more honestly.

It’s like Thanksgiving dinner with the extended family. There is always some a-hole doing their best to shite in the gravy by being the know-it-all.

So you don’t like them. Good for you. No need to anoint yourself the gatekeeper of all things other people enjoy.
