First and foremost, I’m typing this post with the new Gutenberg editor in WordPress and this is my very first time using it. I’m sure it’s not rocket science but it’s certainly different to what went before.
Now, I’ve not been interested in AirPods. For one, I don’t usually get on with EarPods. I prefer over the ear cans. Anyway, I got the opportunity to acquire a pair at a good price, so I thought I’d give them another go. Another go? Well, I had tried them out in the local Apple Store and I wasn’t impressed.
Things I don’t like:
- Sounds is a little bright at times
- Not quite enough bass
- Sound leakage
- Poor sound isolation
- Worry about them dropping out and losing one (or both) of them
Things I do like:
- Wide soundstage
- Detailed sound and good stereo seperation
- Portability
I’m finding myself using them more than any other pair of headphones I’ve ever had before. I even walk around the house with them in, and I haven’t really ever done that much with regular cans.
OK, so they’re quite expensive, but then you do get what you pay for, and while they’re not audiophile quality they’re certainly miles better than cheaper EarPods and better than the ones that are supplied with iPhones.
Bottom line is that I would recommend them to anyone that has an iPhone.
