Apple Airpods is a pair of wireless earphones that works together with other Apple devices like the iPhone. The Airpods are very lightweight and weigh only 8 g. The accompanying case where you store the earphones weight 38 g.


Apple surprised the tech community during the launch of iPhone 7. The company controversially ditched the earphone jack and announced that the new phone instead pair with a wireless Airpods. The pairing is accomplished with the Bluetooth W1 chipset that automatically connects to devices running iOS 10, MacOS Sierra and WatchOS 3.

A newer model Apple AirPods 2 was released in April 2019.

They're not cheap and battery life is only passable, but the Apple AirPods offer good audio and the convenience of no wires, Siri support and other handy features.

Adorama offered the product when many others didn't, and beat their proposed deadline for shipment by nearly three weeks. Shipping was fast and accurate. Highly recommend.

Apple Airpods Review: Are they any good?

If you're looking to just listen to music, the Airpods are a good choice since the connection never drops. Just don't expect to get a great sound experience and be prepared to lose at least one.
Pros:
  • Great connection
  • Really portable
Cons:
  • Not the best fit
  • Sound isn't great

AirPods review: the best non-isolating wireless earbuds, but only for Apple

In some ways I love the AirPods. Apple's W1 chip really does what it claims: solves Bluetooth connectivity issues that have plagued all but a few truly wireless earbuds, and with excellent battery life too. The case is also brilliant and I don't even mind the stalk-like design.
Pros:
  • rock-solid connection
  • brilliant case
  • long battery life
  • seamless connection between multiple Apple devices
  • no lag or lipsync issues
  • good if not quite spectacular audio quality
Cons:
  • no isolation
  • less stable when connected to non-Apple devices
  • lack of controls
  • reliance on Siri requiring an internet connection

Apple AirPods

First of all, let's get this off our chest: the new Apple AirPods look a bit daft. Or, more specifically, they make you look a bit daft when wearing them.
Pros:
  • Tiny and light
  • Pure wirelessness
  • Weighty
  • balanced sound
  • Good fit for most ears
  • Clever case that carries extra charge
Cons:
  • Lack detail and dynamic subtlety
  • Siri isn't a good substitute for buttons
  • Attention-grabbing design
  • and not in a good way

Goondu review: Apple AirPods present a wire-free future

Headset wires are annoying. I've used several headphones to listen to audio books when I started running about three years ago. At the beginning of each run, I would be untangling the wires of the headphones. When I put them on, they get caught on pieces of clothing, or worse, door handles.

Hands on: Apple's AirPods are indeed 'magical'

There's a lot to like about Apple's new wireless AirPods . From the ease of the initial setup to the small carrying case that doubles as a charger to the sound quality of the speakers and directional mics, the AirPods do a lot of things right -- elegantly, even -- yet they are not entirely without...

Sounds GR8; needs a slight upgrade tweek...

These Apple AirPods "just work" as stated by many, many others. The BT connection to iPhone is quick & seamless. The connectivity across other Apple devices is equally seamless. I have an Apple Watch 1, an iPad Air, a MAC Mini and a MacBook Air...these AirPods sound exquisite on every device.
Pros:
  • Wireless
  • connects across all devices
Cons:
  • Play/Pause double tap choice
