Abstract: You wait years for an AirPods update and then two arrive in the same year: the second-gen AirPods in early 2019, and the AirPods Pro in the autumn. But which is right for you, and what are the differences?Apple calls the Pro models "Magic for your ears"...

Apple's Airpods were one of the first pairs of truly wireless headphones to hit the market, as the two earbuds had no cable joining them and made them really wire-free. Now, Apple has launched a new version that have a couple of handy bells and whistles t...

The second-gen AirPods are more of an iterative upgrade than a reimagining of the product. Fans of the first-gen AirPods may not find enough here to warrant an upgrade, but it's a great time for prospective buyers to take the plunge. Alongside the suite o...
Abstract: When AirPods debuted in 2016, I was like many people: I thought they looked a bit silly, and I was never a fan of any earbuds Apple had ever made. There was always something about Apple's wired earbuds—their shape—that made me despise them. I'd put them i...

Really, the Airpods 2 could easily be seen as AirPods v1.5 because Apple hasn't touched the overall design or sound capabilities at all. Heck, there isn't even a new colour to show you've got the new model.Replacing the originals - and you can no longer b...

Apple has strengthened the AirPods in the areas they were already strong and chosen to leave their weaknesses more or less as they are. It's an odd approach, but the success of the first-generation model proves that the formula works.We'd love them to fit...
Wireless charging case costs extra, Audio hasn't improved, Identical design to the originals
Aside from the wireless charging case (which costs extra), the new AirPods don't seem to be a huge improvement on their predecessors. Yes, pairing is noticeably quicker, the hands-free ‘Hey Siri' feature is useful, and having the option to charge wireless...

If you're yet to delve into the world of AirPods, the AirPods 2 are a great choice – the updated headphones boast advanced functionality like Hey Siri support and longer talk time between charges – but if you already own a pair of first-gen AirPods, the d...

Features are lacking compared to rivals, fiddly to use
Two months with the AirPods was enough time to convince us the earpods aren't as bad as we thought but not enough for to make us want to swap our wired Sennheiser earphones for Apple's wireless ones. Apple's AirPods are selling surprisingly well Ap...
