Mashable Choice highlights the best of everything we cover, have experienced first-hand and would recommend to others. People love Apple's AirPods . I know this because I can't walk down the street or ride the subway or go anywhere without spotting the striking white "stems" poking out of peoples'...

Slightly longer battery life (for talk time; Hands-free 'Hey Siri' voice controls; Faster switching between Apple devices; Optional wireless charging case

No sound quality improvements; Wireless charging case version costs an extra $40; No improvements to battery life for music

The new AirPods are an incremental upgrade to an already excellent, fully wireless headphone, but sound quality, design and fit are basically the same.

The second-generation AirPods add a couple of small but key improvements to the original, including always-on voice recognition and a wireless charging case option; They're a top-notch headset for making calls, indoors and out.

No design changes to help them fit more ears securely; their sound hasn't improved, and their open design allows for a lot of ambient noise to leak in

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.

In my personal opinion most earbud headphones I have tend to fall out of my ears probably 7 out of 10 times. These fall out maybe 1 time out of 10. Absolutely worth it.

Audio drowns out in noisy areas

I had put off buying these for a very long time d/t cost. I finally bit the bullet and could not be happier. The play time is not very long (about 5 hours). I only wear one bud at a time so when one goes dead I just switch to the other. It's wonderful not to have the cord catching on everything.

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.
