Really works makes AirPods secure in the ear,

Being an Apple product, I knew they wouldn't disappoint but they are even better than I expected. Before buying I was not a huge fan of the fit of Apple earphones/buds but they are better in that regard too. I forget I'm even wearing them and so far they haven't fallen out.

I bought these for my wife so she could cancel out my loud music. It worked! And she loves them. Just to be fair, I did try them out and was impressed with the sound quality. Surprised you can get so much out of something so small.

Comfortable; Fit well; Great sound

Not knowing if my wife is actually listening to me or selectively ignoring me

If you have the original AirPods and they're still working great for you, there's not much reason to upgrade. You can get the inductive charging case on its own if that's all you want, but I'd still recommend getting the new AirPods along with it because they also give you the better pairing and mic...

And still magical.

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

Excellent

Easy to use and excellent sound quality

Love how they fot into place, sound quality spot on Love em

Bought them for my wife. She absolutely loves them!

The Apple AirPods haven't had the smoothest rollout. Finally available at year's end, the $159 wire-free earphones now have plenty of competition. But where some competing models, like the Bragi Dash ( at Amazon) , are loaded with swipe and gesture controls, the AirPods simply use your voice and Siri—neither of which prove to be an ideal solution. From an audio standpoint, the AirPods offer decent bass response and crisp, clear highs, but would greatly benefit from creating an in-canal seal like most earphones do. Instead, you hear the outside world and get less low end than you might otherwise. But for the price, you're paying for a new technology, not top-of-the-line audio performance. Every product line needs a first generation, and while the AirPods don't feel like they're in beta, some simple improvements can greatly enhance the next iteration. Design When you compare the AirPods ($124.99 at Amazon) with the aforementioned Bragi Dash, the Samsung Gear IconX ($77.00 at Amazon)...

The Apple AirPods feel like a big step for wireless in-ear audio—but it's more about innovations and features and less about audio performance.

Clear audio performance; Seamlessly pairs with multiple iOS devices on the same iCloud account; Carrying case doubles as backup battery

Lack of ear canal seal means less bass response and potential ear-to-ear stereo image discrepancies; Limited onboard controls virtually require you to use Siri; In-ear fit could be more secure
