The Airpods does not sound as good as my Sony wireless earphones. The sound quality is pretty good but the bass is only somewhat moderate. What made them truly remarkable is their seamless integration with the Apple ecosystem. And you don’t expect any less. Flip open the Airpods case near an iOS device and you get a notification asking whether you’d like to connect to it. Want to switch to another Apple device? Just head to the Bluetooth shortcut menu in the control centre and pick your iOS device. The next time you take out the Airpods out of its case, it will automatically connect to the last iOS device. And with iOS 14, the audio connection will switch automatically when you switch iOS devices while wearing the Airpods. Sure you can do all that with any other Bluetooth earbuds but you’ll have to go through the trouble of connecting and disconnecting the Bluetooth connection.
Charging the Airpods is easy. Just pop them in their case and it will charge. If the case runs out of battery, you charge the case. You can fast forward to the next song by double-tapping the right Airpods or skip back to the previous song by double-tapping the left Airpods. If you want to stop the music, just take out any one of the Airpods. Of course you can customize the double-tap feature to open Siri as well in the iOS settings. You can see how much battery’s left in the control centre and also when you swipe left to the widgets page. The Airpods will not blow away your brain listening to music but it is good enough. Listening to podcasts and audiobooks though are great because it is truly wireless and the spoken words are crystal clear. If you are already in the Apple ecosystem, the Airpods is truly useful to have. Otherwise, you’re better off with any other brands and cheaper models.
