Cons

Detailed Analysis:

Apple Airpods are the expensive set of earbuds that are developed by Apple. These earpods have a great build quality and are more reliable than the other bluetooth earphones out on the market.

Let us see the aspects of the testing criteria we come across in the later sections.

1. Design and Comfort

The Design of the apple airpods are very usual and they look normal which is an Apple’s miss on catching the line between the Technology and Fashion

The Airpods are similar to that of the traditional Apple earbuds that are provided with the Brand’s phones and iPads. They just miss out the wires and the arm on the earbud is stretched out to house the W1 chip and the battery.

Overall the Design of the Airpods are ugly and do not comply with the design trend on the market and the Airpods seem ugly when compared to its competitors that are cheaper than the Airpods.

Considering the comfort of the Airpods, they are not bad, but not so good either. these airpods follow a uni-size design which is for any normal adult. but this size does not fit all kind of people.

These airpods even pop out during a walk for some people and for some the bud is not large to enter the ears. For some people, Airpods are completely incompatible.

2. Sound Quality

Upon getting down with our drawbacks on the Design and Comfort section, the sound output on the Airpods blowed away all the shortcoming on the design sector of the product.

The Sound output on the airpods are very crisp and very detailed in Nature. If you are on the gym and keeping in mind that these Airpods fits your ears, these airpods will boost ur energy within.

These airpods are suited for all kinds of occasions and they have a sync with the rhythm that makes the music more pumping on this device.

Trust me, peppy beats like Taki Taki, Here We Go or the Indian rap tracks like Satisfya will blow your mind with its immense and crisp sound.

Airpods are no way inferior in terms of the sound quality that is produced on the ears and they are the best in the segment.

3. Connectivity

If you have used any other Bluetooth Earphones, you’ll probably know the process of digging into the Phone’s Settings page every time to pair the earbuds. But in the case of Airpods, its a dream come true.

All you have to do is keep your airpods near your phone and just click on the dialog on the phone. The air buds pair themselves when they are taken out from the casing and they turn off automatically when they are placed on the casing

Apart from this, the airpods play music when they are placed on the ears and they stop playing the music whenever they are taken off from the ears. The best connectivity feature for wireless earbuds, isn’t it?

Thanks to the w1 chipset on the hardware that makes connections more faster and swifter than ever.

Apart from the Apple ecosystem, when these are paired with the Android devices, they aren’t that seamless and you have to press the pair button on the casing to pair the airpods to your Android device. After that everything works identically as per the apple ecosystem.

4.Controls and Assistant

There are literally no buttons on the airpods and you have to rely on the voice assistant Siri for everything to change tracks, increase or decrease volumes, etc,

You can double tap twice on both earbuds which trigger the Siri assistant and listens to your voice commands. And have to mention, the Siri is more accurate and catches up the commands more effectively.

The Double Tap feature is one of the best features on Airpods that fires the Siri assistant in an instant. But using Airpods in public may be quite embarrassing when you want to skip tracks or whatsoever.

And when you take the earbud out of your ears, it will pause the music that is played on the device is paused and resumes when its back on the ear. This feature is phenomenal.

5.Batter Life

Apple Claims that Airpods last for about 5 hours straight and upon testing them, we are surprised to see that it’s completely accurate in terms of normal usage.

And the charging case holds the battery power that can recharge the Airpods 4 times full and this makes the Airpods more powerful and the main reason to buy.

When the Airpods are opened near the phone, the current charging percentage of the casing and the airpods show up on the display.

But the bulkiness of the airpods stem is bigger but the battery life on the Airpods are much better than that of the competition and its the best in the segment.

6.Pricing and Availability

Airpods are extremely expensive and they were released on December 2016 as the initial release.

You can check the cheaper alternatives for Airpods – Best Bluetooth Earphones in India under 3000 rupees.

But these alternatives do not have the same features and never be equal to the Airpod’s build quality and performance.

You can buy Apple Airpods here at Amazon.in at the very best price out there.

The Final Verdict

Apple Airpods provides unmatchable performance in Sound quality, Battery life, and extremely fast pairing process. The earpods run double the time than most other wireless earpods and that’s excellent.

When Design is concerned, Apple is not a breakthrough. The design is outdated and the uni-size version may not suit all kind of people. this also lacks in-device controls and every time you want to change your track, you need your phone to do that.

Apple AirPods provide almost perfect features that any wireless earphones can offer for anyone who wants fully wireless earbuds. With superb sound quality and seamless device pairing, all you have to worry about is if they fit your ears and if you can deal with Siri for all controls.

Thanks for Spending time here!
