At $199, the Apple AirPods 2 won't cost you too much when compared to other True Wireless options out there. But that's probably the best thing about this earphone, because, apart from battery life in relation to talk time, they generally suck.
AirPods 2 have a lot to live up to, given that the original AirPods became hugely popular all over the world. What's new, and better, in these second-generation devices?
AirPods 2 are smarter where Siri is concerned; they're the first Pods to feature hands-free Siri. That means you simply have to utter the magic words “Hey Siri,” to stir your digital assistant into action. Meanwhile, the revolutionary Apple H1 headphone chip delivers faster wireless connection to your devices.
As soon as you remove AirPods 2 from their charging case, they're ready to use with your iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad or Mac.
The H1 brings a new dimension to AirPods 2. If you're using one AirPod, or both of them, the H1 chip automatically routes the audio and engages the microphone. And when you’re on a call or talking to Siri, another speech-detecting accelerometer works alongside beamforming microphones to filter out external noise and focus on your voice.
The new chip is also behind AirPods 2 great battery power. It delivers five hours of listening time and three hours of talk time on a single charge. The charging case holds multiple charges for more than 24 hours of total listening time. When you need a quick charge, just 15 minutes in the case gives you three hours of listening time or two hours of talk time.
This earbud doesn't support active noise cancellation, which AirPods Pro features. Furthermore, there's no wireless charging case included as standard.

Really happy with these. Bought mainly for phone calls on the go and listening to audio books. I've found them intuitive to use, though there are some things I haven't quite worked out, like what tapping them does at different times.
AirPods work great. I bought this bundle to get the rose gold version. Color is no where close to rose gold - more like mauve or lilac.
Apple's updated AirPods don't pack many thrilling upgrades, but the improvements they did get make for more seamless, convenient use. Because of that, little about the new AirPods are worth the upgrade for existing owners - that is, of course, unless their batteries are starting to go south.
The setup was quick and easy. They pair automatically when in your ears. Sound quality is fine but the convenience is the big seller
Very fussy about my headphones but wanted some of these due to the amazing reviews - I was sceptical as the sound on the wired apple headphones is atrocious and I normally use Bose. I was very surprised!! The packaging is neat and the tiny charging case is amazing, makes it so easy to carry them.
These AirPods are fantastic best ever Ear pods I have ever used when they first came out thought they looked odd and cost a lot ...but because of QVC Easy Pays Plus Reading all reviews on line plus YouTube ones decided to try them and I am one Happy Customer these are fantastic best ones I have...
The second-gen AirPods are a great iterative upgrade, offering improved connection speed, talk time and Hey Siri support alongside optional wireless charging support, although a lack of improvements in the audio department will leave audiophiles wanting more.
I purchased this Apple AirPods for my grandson's 15th Birthday. If you could have seen my grandson face when he received his present; you know you deserve Five Stars Rating.
I have tried MANY wireless EarPods over the years. They all were difficult (at times) to connect, had finicky issues and none of them ever lasted more than a few months. I finally decided to stop screwing around and buy the best. I'm so glad I did.
