On a number of phone calls using the AirPods, with some usual traffic noise in the background, the person on the other end complained about struggling to hear what I was saying.Ĭompared with the first generation of AirPods, this inability to block out background noise was noticeably worse. It also seemed to be an issue with the microphones. One-touch setup automatically pairs AirPods with other Apple devices. One aspect that was frustrating though was the background noise that comes through while using the earbuds.ĭespite featuring “adaptive EQ”, a car driving past in the street could still easily drown out what you were listening to. In the process of this review - using the headphones for general day-to-day activities such as listening to a podcast on the bus to work, playing music while exercising and making phone calls - they only needed a plug-in after a few days. Unlike previous generations, you can easily put pesky charging reminders to the back of your mind. If battery life is a priority for you, this is a great option. The case is also water-resistant, giving you peace of mind if you accidentally leave it in an exposed spot. The ability to share a song with another friend using AirPods was also a fun way to mix up the user experience.Īnother added benefit is the sweat and water resistance, making them a hardy option for anyone who loves a tough workout or occasionally gets caught out in the rain after forgetting an umbrella.
The new AirPods are resistant to both sweat and water, with an IPX4 rating for both the earbuds and the case. Although, reviews are mixed on whether the sound quality translates as well.
