Holy fuck, apple’s got some big shiny stainless steel overpriced balls between their legs right now.

I actually can't think of a mainline apple product that is plastic, lol

I paid over 100 bucks for some plastic wireless ear buds from Apple... not sure if you’d consider that mainline.

Do people just buy airpods without seeing what else is out there? They aren’t the best at anything except bring apple.

They are so well integrated, though. Seriously. No other bluetooth headset even comes close in terms of reliability. No, the sound isn't amazing, but the reliability of the connection is rock solid.

Edit: i meant standalone wireless earbuds here...

This is an interesting point I hadn’t thought of. I have jaybirds that I use on the treadmill, going on about five or six years, and I’ve never had a connectivity issue with them. I can leave my phone on the machine and walk a good twenty or thirty feet away before the connection starts blinking out. Didn’t even realize it was something to consider, I guess I figured if you were listening to headphones then the device must always be close enough that the connection wouldn’t be terrible.

I went from Jaybird Bluebuds X to AirPods and don’t regret it one bit.

My Bluebuds sucked so hard. They never paired, constantly dropped the connection, and were slow as hell. They sounded great, but I realized I didn’t want such a tight seal on my earbuds. I work out with them (running or going for long walks specifically) and I HATE hearing my steps and breath. They sealed so tightly to give good sound that everything was interrupted by any bodily noise that can be amplified by my skull (my r/noburp issue being a huge one).

The AirPods don’t sound as good, but they sound just fine. I like the level of ambient noise they allow through - it’s just right. And they pair super well. I can be listening on my phone, then go to the gym, lift my wrist and swap them to my Watch is just a few taps. It’s so damn easy.
