    BEST PURCHASE EVER!!!
    I was so nervous to first buy this because I’ve seen some bad reviews about it. Once received, I was so thankful I got what I bought. Very good sound quality and fits snug in my ears! Comes with a charger and very easy to connect! You should definitely buy. I’m so happy I finally have AirPods after my old ones got ran over… 🧸🌷

    Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2024
    Set: Without AppleCare+Verified Purchase
    To begin with, these are quite expensive headphones for most people, but if the question is: Are they worth it? For me, they are worth every penny. 1. Ergonomics and design. In the design part, they fit my ear well, to the point that I can bring them for several hours and I don't notice any discomfort, even (due to their open design) sometimes it's as if I forgot that I'm wearing them. 2. Functionality. These headphones work excellent with devices from the Apple ecosystem, great sound quality. Fortunately, I have iPad, iPhone and MacBook so the change between devices is wonderfully fast, I'm talking about the fact that it's enough to pause what your iPhone plays and play your iPad so that the headphones switch to the iPad. 3. Iconicity. I understand that there are people who do not like the brand for what it is, however, it is undeniable that it becomes an icon with the products it launches, this makes the Air Pods can become practically a fashion accessory, which I personally like. 4. Extra functionalities. It has many functions that are "hidden", so I invite any owner of the device to delve a little into everything that these small headphones offer. In the same way I want to emphasize the spatial audio, which I feel very well achieved and makes me re-listen to my favorite songs with this addition, it is also proper to mention how excellent the head tracking works makes you feel that the audio is in front of you, and you can approach the instruments individually. In conclusion: I think they are excellent hearing pods even for the price, although I recommend waiting for new version. But this one is budget friendly and does the job asked for. So if you are a person who enjoys music, going out to the street listening to what you like, the ease provided by free hands (the microphone sounds fantastic) and you have at least one iPhone, I highly recommend them, although if you are not interested in the spatial audio section, I recommend that you go for the second generation which roughly only loses the aforementioned functionality. Thank you for reading and I hope it helps you decide whether to buy.⁩

    Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2023
    Set: Without AppleCare+Verified Purchase
    Taking the Apple AirPods at face value, they're a solid headset for the money! If you already have the original, first generation AirPods and just want to upgrade, not a bad option either. The 2nd generation AirPods feature an improved software chip & runs off of BlueTooth 5.0 vs 4.1 (Gen 1). The software chip allows a faster, stronger, and more stable connection with your device(s). This particular item for $139.00 does NOT feature the wireless charging case. This one must be plugged in via USB (cable provided in the box) to an outlet or USB port. The wireless charging case model is $169. Now if you're looking to upgrade to the wireless charging case later on, you can. Apple does sell it separately. If you want the wireless charging option right out of the box, I recommend sending the $169 vs the $139 product here.

    Sound quality: Straight out of the box, sound is pretty solid. No crackles, static, pops, or any abnormal noises created by the more economic-friendly headsets. You have a lot more adjustability & tuning capabilities if paired on an iOS/Apple device vs using for example paired with an Android OS device. So, ultimately Apple users may or may not get a better sound quality experience.

    Noise cancellation: AirPods do fit fairly well in the ear without having to be jammed inside your ear canal. Generally they create a snug fit using Apple's "universal" earphone design, it is one size fits most not one size fits all. Some users have upgraded or opted to spend the additional funds on a set of AirPods Pro due to the rubber tips for a better/snug fit. I believe only the AirPods Pro currently has an active noise cancellation utilizing two microphones but I would double-check Apple for accurate information. Also, for Android users. The Galaxy buds by Samsung feature active noise cancellation & wireless charging case on every model so you might want to look into that product before making a final purchase.

    Battery life: For optimal battery life, I highly recommend charging both AirPods inside the case. The case itself is a battery pack with a life. So if one or both AirPods are low on battery, you can toss them in the case and charge them up. Apple I believe rates 5 minutes of charging time is equivalent to 1 hour of talk/listening time and 15 minutes of charging time is equivalent to 2 hours of talk/listening. I'm sure this is accurate when they're brand new but I'm sure like anything, normal ware & tare might diminish that over time.

    Warranty: Apple provides a 1-year standard manufacturer's warranty on this product. This ONLY covers defects/defaults from the manufacturer. This will NOT cover physical and/or liquid damages to AirPods, case, or charging cable included.

    AppleCare: It's $29.00 and 2 years and well worth the extra money. You're already spending this kind of money on a headset, may as well have protection. We get it, accidents happen! But protect yourself and get your AirPods repaired/replaced at no additional cost to YOU! There is no additional fees or deductibles involved.

    AppleCare tips:
    You don't have to install AppleCare right away. You have 60 days from the original purchase date to contact Apple by providing your AirPods serial number (on outside of the box) and Apple will tell you if you're still eligible.

    You can renew AppleCare for another 2 years for the same fee of $29.00 provided you want to keep the same product. If you decide to upgrade to the AirPods Pro or whatever the latest model is, you would have to purchase AppleCare for that specific product.

    You can go into an Apple store location and get live repair/replacement on your AirPods.

    Using AirPods with Android:

    Apple has allowed Android and other non-iOS devices to use AirPods since the AirPods pair/connect via BlueTooth.

    If you're using AirPods on an Android platform such as Samsung or LG for example there's 2 ways to pair the headset to your device. You either turn on BlueTooth on your device, pop both AirPods inside your ear, find "AirPods" under available connections, and connect. Or you might have to pair manually using the button on the AirPods case to make available, pair, and connect.

    FAIR WARNING:

    You will NOT have access to all features that the AirPods have to offer on an Apple/iOS device. You will be limited on functions you can perform.

    I was able to find an app on Google play store for $1.99 called "AirPopUp". It is a paid application that unlock access to certain/more features of the AirPods similar to what an Apple/iOS device would be granted. Be aware that you will NOT have access nor the ability to have every single feature since you're not on Apple's network. There may be other apps (most likely paid applications) you'd have to find that may unlock more features such as: AirPods battery life percentage, case battery life percentage, programming LEFT & RIGHT AirPods for certain function(s), skipping/pausing/resetting songs, answer/decline/hang up phone calls, find my AirPods, and more.

    For Samsung users specifically, you might want to look into the Galaxy Buds. They're a little cheaper than AirPods, I believe Amazon has them for $109.99 + $22 3-Year insurance through Assurion that does cover physical/liquid/accidental damage just like AirPods.

    Galaxy Buds features:
    Made by Samsung
    Audio powered by AKG
    Rubber ear bud tips
    Pair with Samsung device to get the most
    Wireless charging case
    Active noise cancellation
    Comes in multiple colors (black/white/silver/yellow/red & black combo with Star Wars edition Galaxy Note 10+)
    Includes changing cord and replacement rubber earbud tips.

    I know if you pair the Galaxy Buds with a Samsung device it will automatically download an application titled "Galaxy Wearable". This allows users to check battery life status of the case and each bud, prompts you for software updates, ability to program LEFT & RIGHT earbuds to do certain function(s), answer/decline/hang up phone calls, pause/skip/reset songs.

    Apple may charge a lot of money for their products on accessories but they never fall short of being a revolutionary, well-designed, reliable product that works as advertised.

    Set: Without AppleCare+Verified Purchase
    I recently purchased the Apple AirPods (2nd Generation) Wireless Ear Buds, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. From the moment I unboxed them, I was impressed with their sleek design and the effortless setup process. Within seconds, they were seamlessly paired with my iPhone, and I was ready to enjoy my music, podcasts, and calls.

    The sound quality is outstanding, delivering clear, crisp audio with a balanced bass that enhances every listening experience. Whether I'm listening to my favorite tunes, taking an important call, or catching up on the latest podcast, the sound is always top-notch.

    The fit is incredibly comfortable, even during extended use. They stay securely in place whether I'm working out, commuting, or just relaxing at home. The battery life is impressive, providing hours of uninterrupted listening, and the charging case is a game-changer. Just a quick charge gives me hours of use, making them perfect for long days on the go.

    One of the standout features is the seamless integration with Siri. Voice commands work flawlessly, making it easy to control my music, make calls, and check messages without having to reach for my phone. The built-in microphones ensure my voice comes through loud and clear, even in noisy environments.

    Overall, the Apple AirPods (2nd Generation) have exceeded my expectations in every way. They are the perfect combination of style, convenience, and superior sound quality. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality wireless earbuds. Well done, Apple!
