I’ve had mine since Christmas last year.

I used hem daily at work. Pop one in and listen to music/Fox News/pod cast.

I personally like the lack of sound cancellation because I’m able to still carry a conversation with a coworker if need be.

Also I have never once had them completely die of battery on me to where I wanted to use them but couldn’t.

I also use them at work for Skype conference calls and Work great. The only thing I wish they would add is an option for the double tap on one to mute the Mic would be even better for conference calls.

Okay, dumb question, but what is the difference between using Spotify and Pandora? I use Pandora at work all day. From what I can tell, Spotify lets you be more specific as far as actually selecting individual songs.......right?

Pretty much.

Spotify is like you have the entire universe of music in iTunes (except unlike iTunes, it's not a pain in the arse). Choose radio stations, playlists, individual songs, all songs by an artist, albums, etc. Go search for David Bowie and you can play any song or album by DB without any limitations, commercials, etc.

Clarification - this is for paid Spotify. I don't know how free Spotify works.

I gotcha. Might try the free variant just to see what's all about.

Thanks!

I’ve had my wireless powerbeats for close to 2 years now with no issues. I use them 3-4x week.

I just bought a pair after Apple didn't announce any update to them at this years event. Supposedly the next iteration will have noise cancelling. I absolutely love them. They feel so light i can wear them all day. I've run 4 miles in them a few times and i maybe have to adjust it once and my wired apple headphones came out all the time. Can't wait to get an series 4 apple watch so i can ditch my phone when exercising all together.

Love mine and the sound is great. If you have an iPhone or Apple Watch it’s a no brainer. I lost one and just purchased a replacement for $69.

ETA: there’s also YouTube videos of them working after going through some wash cycles so I’d say they’re durable and waterproof.

are these sweat proof with the holders? i'd love to get a pair for running (my powerbeats bit the dust due to sweat).


I’ve run a marathon with my AirPods fwiw.

It is easy to lose the case or the air pods themselves. That is the biggest negative.

Not really. If it’s not in my pocket, it gets set down at home with my wallet and keys.

Worth it. Run with mine constantly. No issues. They’ve never fallen out - in the slim chance one did the audio would stop immediately so not much risk in not noticing while exercising in my opinion.

I'm 99% sure that there is a 1 year warranty on them. You should have returned them for another pair.

I've carried them with me every day since I got them December 2016. Only issue I've had was running them through the wash once. That killed the battery case. Had to get a new one for $60.

Get them. Once you have them, you'll regret how long you went without them.
