My first initial impression when this one introduced was hideous. But then, RC Willey happen to have this available and I have to put on my account and give it a try. I spoke too early and I'm glad I gave it a chance. The sound is unbelievably great. Very detailed from Bass, Mid through highs.

sound drop is almost non existence; not as sealed but the pure sound makes for it

The Apple AirPods are definitely one of the most convenient headphones we have tested. They are true wireless headphones – no cable or cord connects them and they stream music via Bluetooth. The fit is comfortable and surprisingly secure.

Super convenient; Comfortable and surprisingly secure fit; Easy setup and integration with other Apple devices; 15 minute quick charge feature

Expensive; Not a fan of the volume controls and track management – must use Siri for everything; No native music storage

I eventually gave in and bought these EarPod thought if I didn't get on with them I'd give them to my hubby. To my surprise I loved them. They fit really well even when moving around. So easy to use, linked up to iPhone, iPad and MacBook. Had to buy a set for hubby too!

At first I was skeptical about AirPods. But I thought it was a very good earphone. Light and easily connects with AppleWatch for control of music on iTunes and Spotify. Something I could not do with my Bose wireless earphones.

They are great. I was surprised that they can only pair with one device at a time but extremely easy to set up and use and the quality is of course top notch. The price is what stings me to give a 4 star rating. If I didn't have apple everything I would most likely have bought something cheaper.

I received the Apple air pods bundle yesterday. Shipping was fast and item was well packaged. However, it's not worth the price. The charging stand and accessories are cheaply made and very flimsy.

I'm 70 & not tech savvy but bought these simply because they are wireless. OMG, they are worth the cost: sound is clear, crisp & I ?? the freedom of moving around without wires; they are lightweight & fit comfortably in my ears; however, if I moved my head bending a tiny bit, one fell out-don't know...

I have used another brand ear Bluetooth almost daily for 3yrs now whether it's listening to podcasts, music or so I don't have to keep my phone in my hand and be able to hear if phone rings or receive a message and can answer reply easy with Bluetooth without having phone in hand but that I would...

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.

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

no isolation; less stable when connected to non-Apple devices; lack of controls; reliance on Siri requiring an internet connection

We're impressed with Apple's AirPods - sound quality is excellent, the auto play/pause function is great, the accuracy of the Siri controls is a pleasant surprise and call quality is impressive. Considering the small form factor of the earphones, the amount of tech inside is incredible.
