amen listen to tell us what right now huh what hey what no okay of course not no hey what is up guys I'm Kip EHD here and earpods remember these these are finally apples air pods they were introduced alongside the iPhone 7 if you remember and then there were a bunch of delays a bunch more delays and a bunch more but now they're finally here so in case you forgot what's actually special about these besides just the fact that they're Wireless is the w1 chip this is new and if you can get past the fact that they look like a slightly larger version of the Apple earpods with a longer stem and the weird if you can get past all the jokes this is what you should actually know about them the w1 chip was introduced for easy pairing of these air pods and anything with that chip to all of your Apple devices without you having to sign in so as long as you have an Apple ID on your device so for me that's my iphone my iPad and even my macbook pro this will be able to pair with all of them instantly via bluetooth so this is not the first pair of headphones to come out with this chip the Apple made beats solo 3 actually had them and I've demoed them in a previous video but here's how it works you open the case that they come in for the first time with the iPhone somewhere near it this turns it on the iPhone finds the headphones pairs to them and you're connected just like that with that one button press these air paws are now connected not just to my iPhone but they're ready to play on any and all of my Apple devices and I don't have to do this process again also there's a little bit more tech inside these besides just the drivers and the batteries there's an Excel and a pair of proximity sensors you can see the little dots on the outside and these are basically to be able to tell if it's in your ear or not and there's also a touch sensor on the back of the earbuds for further controls all of this means you're going to have some smart tricks up your sleeve with the air pause mainly just for convenience so first of all when they're in the case they're charging and off if you take them out of the case they turn on and they connect to everything when you put it in your ear your audio automatically starts playing use it the proximity sensor to automatically start playing your music when you take one of the ear pods out of your ear it automatically pauses so it's kind of neat if one of them falls out or if you take it out you might be listening to music and you immediately want to just pause it and listen to someone talk you can just pull it out your ear and all of it stops and you can hear what people are saying once you put the earbud back in the music starts up playing again what's cool is since there's actually no inline controls where you would normally find them on a wire there are play pause controls on the side of the ear but itself so there are touch controls a single tap on the side of the earbud will activate play pause and you can actually double tap to activate Siri from your iPhone or from your Mac and it will use the microphone built into the air pause themselves to listen to you now it's serious so it has its flaws but it can be pretty useful like you can change the volume of what you're listening to by double tapping and asking Siri to turn up the volume or if you're paired to your iPhone you're walking outside you can say to navigate somewhere and you'll hear the directions in your ear and the air pods which is pretty useful so that's what you can do right out the box with the air pods as far as audio quality goes they're pretty similar if not a little bit better than the ear pods but they're the exact same shape as the ear pods so if those worked well for your ears then these will stay yours as well so it might sound weird to say but like the wire in between the ear buds or normal wireless earbuds or just regular headphones is actually like a convenience feature if one of them falls out your ear you don't have to go looking for it because it's attached to the wire it's kind of a strange thing to think of it that way but that's kind of what this is teaching us the battery life on these is five hours on a charge which is a little bit less than what I'm used to with the jaybird x3s which will go around eight hours but what's really convenient is again that case it's really a big part of using these air pods that case with the wireless charging you slip it in with the magnets you snap them into place and you can add three hours of listening time in just 15 minutes so that's about half battery and 15 minutes of charging in there and then you can total about 24 additional hours of listening time by putting them in the case all day so if you commute to work and you listen to these like an hour each way you can probably go a whole week without actually charging these so these things are on sale now and though retail for a hundred and fifty nine dollars but again if you order them right now you won't get them to like 2017 they're still delayed so what I recommend these over a similar pair of wireless earbuds like my j-bird x3s no I'd still prefer those I don't really like these that much but I like the more than I thought I would and that's a good sign I think it's because of all the tech inside because of the mics and the proximity sensors in the auto play and pause that kind of stuff is really cool so now it's out I don't know what took so long but the air pods are finally out the choice is yours thanks for watching I'll talk to you guys the next one peace
