At some point, you will lose the air pods and/or the charging case. Just know that going in...



My dumbass 14 yr old son has washed his twice in his school shorts but they survived after drying out a few days.
He Lost the case once(found it two weeks later).

Kids really shouldn't have these things.

My 13 yr old son got the pros for Christmas, but he’s too scared to take them anywhere.

I used $20 headphones for a long long time. I recently switched to the Galaxy Buds and the difference in quality is night and day


I’ve got a pair of Bose SoundSport earbuds in my truck that are terribly uncomfortable. These may not sound as good but to be honest, I don’t know what I’m missing and these fit like a dream. I also have a habit of losing Bluetooth accessories. So not a big deal to lose these

I have the airpod 2's. I really like them. Above all, if you have an iPhone, the audio/call quality, and automatic headset connect is what makes it truly separates it. It's a well-integrated device.

I want to try the pros.

Based on what I've seen the Sony WF 1000xm3 are still better (which I have), but the call quality isn't great whereas I suspect the AirPod pros are pretty good in that regard.

Airpods are NOT noise cancelling(


The newest ones (Pros)are.

Best part is you can easily turn off the noise cancelling option if you want. The pros come with rubber ear tips as well that help to create seal needed for noise cancelling and help pods stay in your ears better(and makes it more comfortable). Ear tips come in 3 different sizes and you can buy replacement ones pretty cheaply.

You run a test through your phone to make sure the pods have a good seal in your ears for noise cancelling.

I hear if you are shopping for a new vehicle they keep the salesman away.

I just bought the Powerbeats Pro headphones yesterday. On sale for 200 and amazing so far. I never thought I would like headphone so much but great to workout in with the earhooks. Been clutch walking through the city listening to music and talking on phone.

6 pages and one person got to the actual point. I had some expensive ones that were not apple and it’s a clusterfrick every time you want to use them. You have to go into settings and all that shite. Your options are airpods or regular old headphones

I used to think AirPods were dumb. I bought some cheap JLab ones or whatever for the gym. Those sucked.

I found some AirPods on the ground one day. Tried to find the owner for a week. Posted it online (dude had his name programmed into them) with no bites.

So I got some AirPods for free. I cleaned the hell out of them and use them damn near daily. They’re not even as good as the wired earbuds that come with iPhones but ever since my lightning connector has gotten weird on my XR I’ve stuck to my AirPods and they’ve done well.

It makes sense to offer some that are.
