GuestWearing them right now, wear them 24/7 tbh. Good noise cancellation, good sound quality, just good overall and mindless thots probably think it’s a plus in your attractiveness.

GuestLULZ will tell you it’s appleshit etc.
/fit/ and LULZ will tell you it fries your brain
I’m using them since the release and those are simply the best pair of headphones I’ve used.
Not a fan of double squeeze for next track, liked double tap on the non-Pros better.-

GuestSignificantly. I honestly think the standard AirPods shouldn’t even be for sale at this point, not in [current year.] The AirPods "Pro" should be the standard AirPods and the standard AirPods should have been gone long ago. The standard ones are just missing a lot of basic features that even much cheaper earbuds have.

GuestThey have very small batteries so you had better be okay with replacing $250 headphones every 1.5-2 years depending on usage.

GuestIf you’re not an apple scrote and not gonna benefit from device auto-switching I would buy something else. Like those new transparent meme headphones, forgot the name.

GuestI’m just disappointed in Teenage Engineering. Usually everything they make works perfectly. Sometimes their products might have deliberate limitations and controversial design choices, but this may be their first "unintentionally bad" product.

GuestI use them for work because they are great for voice calls, but I prefer my Jabra 75T Active. Better sound, battery, fit and you can shower with them.

How do these do on Windows 10? Still trying to find in ear buds that actually have good mic support for Windows. Most are too quiet and no one can hear you.

GuestIf you own an Iphone sure. I don’t know if you have access to the features and app on ipad/mac but you are locked out of a lot of features on android. Probably on windows too unless someone made an application.

GuestJust drop a couple hundred and see. I was hesitant for so long, sticking with my wired earbuds in some contrarian stance but they’re really quite elegantly designed. You should get them at least just to experience what the modern listening experience is being optimized towards, just like looking back and saying you had a walkman in the 90’s

Guestunironically just get galaxy buds or plus or pro. don’t get the galaxy buds 2 tho, they have this weird bug where when only one bud is connected, unless you use a samsung phone the audio is tinny like 5 dollar drug store headphones. it’s something to do with their special snowflake proprietary audio codec. but the older ones are woke af.

GuestPros: good ANC, can sleep with them without the ANC buzzing out or plastic stabbing your ears, pairs well with iPhones and can also pair with other shit, acceptable frequency response, charges relatively quickly, sits in ears without raping your ear holes, good price
Cons: shit battery life for all day listening, playback controls don’t work on non apple products, very easy to lose
I love them, much better than Bose shit and costs less too.
Normal air pods are dog shit. -

GuestLike all Apple earbuds, a bit bass-heavy, and the bare minimum when it comes to sound quality.
Noise cancelling is solid, transparency mode is finicky imo, and the rubber buds feel like all other ones: If you don’t mind, it’s fine, if you find them generally uncomfortable, these will feel the same.
6/10 as earbuds. Worth it for extra software features if you primarily use iOS. -

GuestBattery life isn’t all that great, maybe 5-6 hours. Sound great, nice and tight bass, good sound separation and positional accuracy for in ears. Audio latency is compensated on iOS and macOS. I paid £145 for mine brand new, wouldn’t pay more though since they will wear out within a couple of years. Better than any wired earphones I’ve tried, though the most expensive I have tried are fiio FD1s which were a little too V sounding.

GuestPixel Buds are better in almost every way. Everything the AirP*ds """Pro""" do, the Pixel Buds can do better AND they’re cheaper and more comfortable. You can buy Pixel Buds A-Series for $99 at https://store.google.com/product/pixel_buds_a_series?hl=en-US

GuestOne thing is certain. They won’t last for more than 2 years case the battery will degrade a lot and you’ll be hearing constant static if you don’t get it replaced. Which is incredibly time consuming and expensive and you’d be better off just buying a new pair

GuestAs a product they are excellent. In most songs to me they sound identical to my “real” headphones.
I have had to replace both units twice due to the rattling issue, kind annoying but at least now even after 2 years I still have a new battery.
