Apple AirPods - 1 Month Later

yo guys Johnson here and today we are talking to air pauses they're hard to find easy to hate but it's very least they have third up some mixed emotion the initial reaction when you see air pods for the first time is holy SH I cut the cables up slap them in a floss container and they're charging 160 bucks for these but still there's something about air pods where even though there's that voice inside your head telling you you probably shouldn't buy these you still kind of want to now by no means are air pods cheap but on the other end of the spectrum if we're to stack them up against other truly wireless earbuds it's not that crazy Samsung gear icon XR 169 dragula - r2 49 and even something like the wroking bit charge or 129 so when you break it down like that the price becomes something you may potentially be able to justify but the one thing I haven't been able to get past yet are though look this is how you think you look while we're an air pod and this is how you actually look are they the ugliest piece of tech out there right now definitely not but I'm not sure we could have a serious conversation with these in my ear right now conversely since you are obviously not paying for looks what you are paying for is the tech inside these which is some of the best out there right now for starters the setup process even for the first time it's one of the simplest and easiest things you'll ever do when it comes to tech no jokes on the second you unbox these you place into your phone you pop open the cap press connect and that is literally it I don't care if you love Apple or you hate them this is how pairing should be whether it's air paws other bluetooth headphones gaming headsets controllers it's everything paired this way the tech world would be a better place what's also nice is you only have to pair the air pause one time and you're not gonna have to screw around with pairing each earbud individually on top of that for me hands down the coolest feature with air pods is the ability to play and pause the song simply by taking an air pod out of your ears so fabulous into music some guy walks up to you and says excuse me sir are those toothbrushes in your ear and go huh what that's going to automatically pause the song and once you tell no sir these are air pods and pop it back in your ear it will automatically resume where you left off now what kind of surprise the fact that it's not limited to just alpha music it's also going to work with Spotify and even YouTube as well so because of it I think the most compelling thing about air pause is convenience you're not thinking about turning them on or conversely when you're done listen to music you're not asking yourself did I turn them off you just pop them back in the case and you kind of forget about it now on the flip side of that if you forget to put these back in your case because there are absolutely no wires there is a very serious chance you could have lose whether you now speaking of the case that is actually how you charge the air pause but I'm not going to lie Apple in the past has made some pretty questionable decision as far as charting things goes but this actually works really well as far as the air pause themselves those should last around four to five hours but if you do run outta juice pop them in the case in 15 minutes we'll get you three more hours of listening time so I think it's safe to say I am genuinely a fan of the tech inside air pods but by no means are these perfect for starters by themselves without using your phone Siri is actually the only way to control volume that's all good and well when you're at home and no one is there to judge you but if you're out in public especially when they can't see the air pods in your ears and you say volume up that's a little weird so by default you can access Siri by double tap it on the air posit jokes aside it can be really useful having quick access like that for questions or navigation but how awesome could it have been if there were some touch sensitive controls in the air pods where you swiped up or down to control the volume on top of that for a hundred 60 bucks and how much Apple brags about the iPhone 7 being water-resistant I kind of would have liked to see air paws be water resistant as well I haven't suggested ease not only in the gym but the sauna as well which is both wet and extremely hot and so far they have yet to die so that in itself is a good thing but it would have been reassuring to know they were geared to be water resistant because that way if something did happen to them they would probably fix them in this case and I walk into the Apple store mr. Apple Genius is going to say sorry bro you brought these in the sauna now playing devil's advocate for a second it is no secret that Apple products work well with other Apple products whether it's iMessage on an iPhone to a MacBook or in this case the secret to the ultimate ear pods experience is the Apple watch with this you leave e8 the problem of a needing to have your phone and be sounding like a crazy person in public through the watch you have control over both next and previous songs but more importantly it potentially may be even more satisfying is controlling volume with a digital crown let me be clear by no means am i justifying the lack of controls on air pods or am I saying that you should go run out and buy an Apple watch just to control your earbud but if you do have one already I'm not going to lie it is really cool now beyond all the tech and either before sound Claudie but one thing you got to ask yourself before you think about buying these is do they even fit in my ear the good news is is because they are exactly the same as ear posit those fit you're in luck but the bad news is if those didn't fit it is not getting any better here so me personally ear pods have always fit really well in my ear so with air pods it was no different they just hopped right in and don't seem to fall off no matter what I do but on the flip side there are people I know where ear pods or air pods won't stay in to save their life once you get past the question of whether or not they actually fit in your ears the other question is how do they sound which is in turn evolved to do they sound any better than ear pods the short answer unfortunately is no they don't believe me part of you really want them to or at the very least maybe just a little bit louder but the fact of the matter is they sound exactly the same as ear pods so with that you kind of got to take that with a grain of salt if you like for maybe even didn't mind the ear pods you're going to like ear pods on the flipside if you hated those you are not going to like these so at the end of the day if you own an Android device don't buy these if you see yourself as an audiophile don't buy these if ear pods did not fit in your ears don't buy these but on the flipside if you're in the Apple ecosystem and the tech outweighs everything else I would pick these up
