Rechargeable storage box is a nice touch
About the easiest Bluetooth pairing process on the planet with iPhones (thanks to the Apple's W1 chip)
If you have an iPhone
The W1 inside handles the connection better than
Great design
Excellent sound quality
Charging case
Decent battery life
The editors didn't like
Funky design isn't for everyone
Yet another thing to charge
What happens when you lose one?
Odd design
No physical controls
A little pricey
Expensive to replace a lost bud
Their open design allows for a lot of ambient noise to leak in. There are no controls on the buds (except Siri). Similarly priced wireless models deliver better sound. And yes
They look pretty dorky
Like their wired siblings
They are impossible to hear properly in transit
Controls are virtually non-existent
Auto-pause when you take the AirPods out of one ear only works on Apple products
They look kind of ridiculous
You have to keep pushing them
$229
Maximum volume and bass level might not be high enough for some

The Powerbeats Pro have better sound and battery life than the AirPods and will stay on your ears securely. They offer all the same basic conveniences of the 2019 AirPods, including fast pairing, rock-solid wireless connectivity and always-on Siri voice-r
The Powerbeats Pro are more expensive than AirPods. The charging case isn't pocket-friendly, nor does it offer wireless charging. The headphones deliver some treble push, and may not fit all ears perfectly
If you can overlook the jumbo charging case and high price, the Powerbeats Pro true wireless headphones are superior to the AirPods in a few key ways...

Abstract: While no one has managed to match the magic of AirPods in the almost two-year period since they hit the market, there is one Apple-endorsed pair of wireless earbuds that arguably fits the slot where theoretical AirPods Pro could exist.Bose SoundSport Fr...

Great connection, Really portable
Not the best fit, Sound isn't great
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...
Abstract: As The Verge 's resident headphones obsessive, I'm not supposed to like the AirPods. My initial reaction upon first seeing them many months ago was to pour scorn on Apple's designers for crafting a pair of expensive and easy-to-lose cigarette butts. The A...
My previous Bluetooth earpiece took around 5 seconds or longer to power on and switch the audio from the phone to the earpiece, during which I would miss much of the audio from the call. With the AirPods, I simply put it in my ear and the audio instantly
There's really only one thing that I think could improve the AirPods and that's more gesture control. A programmable triple-tap gesture would be handy for launching the music app or the phone app. Being really picky and having large fingers, I would say t
I'm really impressed that Apple has been able to put such great features and electronics in such a small product. I'm not an audiophile, so I can't comment on how good the audio is compared to other really good headphones. I can say that I like the audio...

Abstract: With so many flagship phones leaving behind the headphone jack over the past two years, the need for a good pair of Bluetooth earbuds has only intensified. While the first crop of true wireless products had their share of comfort and connection problems...

Abstract: You may be asking yourself why are the Apple AirPods, postgenitus of the Apple Earbuds, the subject of a review in an audiophile magazine targeted 'for the serious audiophile'? Good question. This huge Apple fanboy has done his fair share of hating on the...

Abstract: Over the last decade Apple have been shepherding us towards a wireless future. With the introduction of the MacBook Air in 2008, 2015's MacBook, and the iPhone 7 jettisoning the headphone jack in 2016, it would be difficult not to take the cordless hint...
