  • Warm, relatively balanced sound, Decent volume, Rechargeable storage, Siri connection is a little easier to talk to
  • Audio bleeds in and out due to earbud design, meaning you'll probably have to turn them up in transit, Controls need work and customisation, May not be comfortable for all, Android controls aren't customisable at all
  • While the negatives are still notable, the positives with the 2019 Apple AirPods are their saving graces: it's the same sound with better connectivity, Siri integration, and more battery life. And depending on the sort of person you are, you can free your...

  • Abstract:  If you'd told me in 2007 that people would be walking around listening to music with wireless, popcorn-sized earbuds, I would have called you crazy. It is now 2017, and these futuristic little gadgets are a reality. But which ones are the best?Pretty much...

  • If you have an iPhone — or are in the Apple ecosystem — the new AirPods are no-brainer. They are fast, smart and deliver class audio performance — even if it's not better than the first AirPods. The competition is heating up in the wireless earbuds or ‘he...

  • Abstract:  I doubt if there is one particular earphone that is more popular than the Apple AirPods. In the US for instance, you would see everyone from Silicon Valley CEOs to construction workers wearing them all the time. A recent trip to HongKong exposed me to dif...

  • Ample bass, Peppy highs with smooth roll-off, Low distortion, Improved battery life over first-gen AirPods
  • Recessed mids, Long charging times, Prone to scratches
  • The new Apple AirPods sound good, not great, but good. While the earphones produce relatively deep bass that's not highly accurate, it handles the highs quite well but the mids are slightly dampened. With a slew of features that will cater to most users'...

  • Light, familiar fit, Pleasing audio quality, Useful gestures, Siri voice activation, Very good battery life
  • Somewhat weak bass, No passive isolation, Not a big update over first-gen AirPods,
  • The new AirPods are priced slightly higher than the originals in India, at Rs. 14,900 for the version sold with the standard charging case. If you go with the wireless charging case like the unit we have, this will set you back by Rs. 18,900. If you have...
