Yes when my first gen pair got stolen I went the next day to buy a new pair of second gen air pods. Didn't even hesitate looking at something different

that's why I click on the 'find my iphone' app and click on the 'devices' tab and can see the if they are in my House, car, office, etc.

I have a wireless charger next to where I put my keys and I always just set them on the charger when I walk in the door and pick them up as I'm leaving.

I knew should have waited to get the pro. I bought the normal ones right before the pros were released

I second the BOSE sports buds. My only complaint is that the right ear bud works for calls only. Not stereo. I mainly bought them for music, and for this they are awesome.

They have alternates just as good for a 1/4 of the price.

a basic arse bitch like you would buy airpods and think they look cool. lol


Or they’re convenient and I use them to travel to/from work on the train and when I run. I mean, they’re a lot cheaper than one of your shitty tattoos.

Hell, if I thought it was a “cool” thing, I would have run out and bought the Pros. But that seems unnecessary.

They’re just headphones. I don’t think they’re anything special. You sure do seem upset about it though.

I had the second gen ones and now I have the pros.

To me, the pros are more comfortable, I like the way the controls work better (squeeze vs tap) and the noise canceling is pretty good and more useful than I thought.

AirPods for $159 are worth it IMO. $40 more gets you wireless charging with the 2nd gen...that’s a “maybe” in my book. But if you can justify that, it’s not difficult to justify paying $50 over that to get the pros.

So to answer is, it depends. Honesty, I think it’s easier to justify the pros over the 2nd gen than it is to justify paying $40 for wireless charging and a little more battery life.

I got some Air Pod Pros for Christmas. I thought they were kind of stupid before I got some, but I love them now. The noise cancelling on them is great. I’ve gotten over how dorky you look walking around with them in.

That said, I doubt I’d pay $250 for them, but I’m a bit of a cheapskate.

Does it fully charge all of your keys?

Most earbuds do. I have some Sony cans when I’m concerned about sound quality.
