and that's pretty much all there is with with the air pods - not entirely true but the main one Before we jump into the rest of the air pods video if you guys notice a change in videos we're having fun making these we don't want you guys to miss anything so hit the subscribe button a little Bella see notified when new videos are coming your way so in the air pods first came out made a video on it I thought they were actually ridiculous and only served Apple for justify removing the headphone jack on the iPhone 7 like they were charging you for a feature that they removed in to some extent I still think that but you don't like any Apple product I wanted to try it and I didn't want to form an opinion based on just you know some rambling around in my head so I tried the ear pods and I slowly started to come around on what they could do and what they could do you know for me I'd try to make my life a little bit easier I still think the timing of launching them we could moving the headphone jack put a bad taste in my mouth but at least now I can appreciate what the vision was when the air pods first launched so a lot of them the mystique of Apple and the secret the air pods is how well things integrate and just work I mean the pairing is as simple as opening up the case and then they're paired in and work and you could use them on any other sort of Apple device you've got going on Bluetooth and they're there ready to be connected that is awesome something you can't emulate with another pair of headphones also obviously like that they're wireless not having a cord to get tangled or not having you know pull a lot of cables out of your pocket certainly super nice as well I've been relatively impressed the battery life considering how small they are in all honesty I'm not that big of a music guy I'm not an audiophile have a hard time telling the difference between you know really incredible sounding headphones and headphones that are just average but my use case with air pods is mostly based on phone calls I am on the phone all the time I don't like having a phone up to my head so the fact of the air pods serve that purpose very well the microphones been really good I wish I had a little more noise cancelling or any noise canceling for that matter but for making phone calls light music listening and listening to audiobooks they've been a perfect fit for me so I think if you ask Apple now if they anticipate is excessive air pods they would tell you a hundred percent yes I think Apple fell backwards in the air pause success that they felt back with them to success the App Store and then serve hindsight rewrites history I think they were trying to make up forgetting removing a feature on the phone and then they took off and created a brand new category that I think caught Apple off-guard as we saw by the supply constraints in the first ship also if we remember when the first air puffs launched like you couldn't buy them anywhere if you didn't pre-order they were still hard to find up until four or five months ago so I think that scarcity probably helps people think that they had something that was rare and Anna maybe was a planned thing on Apple there was a supply chain constrained but I think that helped Apple achieve some more mainstream status maybe people just want them more so I think air pauses like as a status symbol has been has been fun and like their their memes of like fancy looking dogs with air pods in and I think sort of once they reached that cult status of like you're successful if you have air pods I think then people started to ignore the hideous design it kind of became more mainstream so I did 60 bucks for Gen one for a lot of people is obviously justifiable it sold a ton of them it's still expensive but it was maybe more justifiable because at the time there weren't that many other they're good wireless options and then you know how seamless it paired made the air pods at least seem quasi justifiable up to a hundred sixty bucks price point but now at two hundred dollars I think they're really approaching the threshold of like that's just too expensive so it's been almost two years since earpads won and the hype was building for the next-gen the rumor mill was churning about what it was going to have and in hindsight it was probably more of like a wish list than things Apple was planning but all the stuff it would have wanted colors noise-canceling water resistance better audio fidelity and then air pods to came out and what we got was wireless charging hey high support and the h1 chip alright so we're we're friends you're not gonna yell at me I can admit it I bought air pods too I pretty much just bottomed for wireless charging call me a hypocrite it's fine and I've been using air pots too and they work exactly the same as air pods one the pairing time is slightly faster I have noticed zero difference in audio quality and I charge them wirelessly so I spent 200 bucks to essentially get a get a green dot I feel like for the first couple days that I got air pods - I was trying to talk myself into thinking that the audio is better so I didn't feel like I spent $200 for no reason but then I went back and listened to my ear pods one and I really have a hard time noticing any sort of of difference whatsoever but they charge wirelessly if any product in Apple's recent history was like a stopgap until what's coming like a point 5s generation it is clearly air pots - they they look the same they sound the same they perform almost the same they can just like put on a tinfoil hat for a second and talk about what actually came out with the air pods - remember the Box mentioned air power which obviously isn't a thing anymore I'm gonna go out on a very tiny limb and say air pots - in the wireless charging case which was actually shown off back when Apple was announcing air power was ready to go in some part of 2018 and was actually held for I'm guessing for the air power launch and they realized they weren't gonna launch it they started you know just shipping them otherwise it makes no sense for air power to be mentioned on the box so what you're getting is already something that should have been out four or five months ago and even more credence to this being just a you know S series of upgrades and you know the big one coming next year when you get presumably a lot of the things you want on your wish list it's a different market now that when air pods one came out airports to are coming to a more like mature market so with anything electronic something new and better is always coming so think of air pods to is like air pods s and 2020 is the rumor of be getting better water resistance in actual noise-canceling better battery life color options those things that will sort of separate the current gen airpot s-- from you know what could be coming so that alone is a good reason to consider waiting and if wireless charging is what you want you can buy the wireless charging case on its own without having to they don't get the air pods to to go with them there's also crazy amount of competition now for you know for your earholes you know you've got obviously the galaxy buds the first one to come to mind Jabra is got options Bose has options Apple's own brand beats has an option that does things that air pod suit doesn't do with the new power beats the Chinese knockoffs are coming like crazy and for sniffily less money there's just more options now than before making air pods to some even like a less compelling of a buy like some of the features of air pods to is nice but even Apple themselves the they just say better sound quality but they don't really sound that much better it says improved battery life but like it's really not improved that much this isn't a compelling reason to go out there and buy of a brand new pair of ear pods to so I think that the caveat is if you don't have any wireless headphones especially if you don't have air pods one and you just want what apple offers cuz it works the Ricoh system then yeah air pots to is a good way to go if you're on a pair of headphones to phone calls listen to music or audiobooks it's awesome so since I'm kind of living in a dreamland let me take a little bit about what I would like for air pods 3 and Tim Cook if you're if you're watching in this hypothetical dream land you take some notes let's start with something that makes them look different if I'm gonna shell out that money I want them to look different than what I had before so give me some colors with new air pots a matte black and it would make Marquez happy would look crazy sweet product red ear pods would look awesome I would love some colors I like to be able to use my ear pods on an airplane also so some sort of noise cancelling would be really nice and a lot of people like to work out in their pods and maybe they get a little sweaty so better water resistance would be awesome to have improved audio fidelity better battery life all that kind of stuff would be things that I would want air pods for you to have so if we could just check off each one of those first I'll be a happy man but I still probably find something to complain about because of who I am as a person chances are you even you may already have your heart set on air pots and if you do buy them you're gonna get a pair of really good wireless headphones if you've got gen one you're looking longingly at the green dot on your friends case hold off it is not worth the upgrade if you don't have any sort of wireless headphones right now there are a ton of really good cheaper alternatives that bring things to the table like noise cancelling and better water resistance and better battery life that the air pots - just don't and the moral here being is is don't be a John save your money and take your special friend out for for a nice dinner they deserve it you know who I'm talking about
