The editors didn't like
Design will polarise opinion
Lose the charging case you're stuffed
Expensive
No audio upgrade compared to EarPods
Can fall out
Siri control is sluggish
Lack detail and dynamic subtlety
Siri implementation is so-so
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
Sound quality not much better than average
Don't fit in all ear types
Design isn't for everyone
Endast tillgängliga i en storlek
Ingen fjärrkontroll
Tjockare än de gamla hörlurarna
Audio range feels constrained
Doesn't block outside noise
Mediocre battery life
No isolation
Less stable when connected to nonApple devices
Lack of controls
Reliance on Siri requiring an internet connection
Non-adjustable size and shape means they won't fit everyone
Attention-grabbing design
And generally not in a good way
Easily lost and expensive to replace
Siri isn't yet a good replacement for buttons
They look a bit weird
Easy to lose one
Case needs to be less slippy
Doesn't fit all ears perfectly
No custom eartips
Mid-range audio quality
Treble can be harsh
Not suitable for fitness activity
Average sound quality
Expensive replacement parts
They tend to get loose in the ear and need readjustment (although they haven't actually fallen out yet)

In some ways I love the AirPods. Apple's W1 chip really does what it claims: solves Bluetooth connectivity issues that have plagued all but a few truly wireless earbuds, and with excellent battery life too. The case is also brilliant and I don't even mind...

We're impressed with Apple's AirPods - sound quality is excellent, the auto play/pause function is great, the accuracy of the Siri controls is a pleasant surprise and call quality is impressive. Considering the small form factor of the earphones, the amou...

If you can't resist the appeal of a wire-free earbud and you are satisfied with the sound of Apple's EarPods, then yes – knock yourself out and pick up a pair of Apple AirPods. You can do a lot worse in terms of reliability and overall performance and spe...
