After a month or so using my AirPods I have to say that I’m impressed. I have and had many BT headphones From Bose, Jabra, Advanced, Beat, Koss, Apple, JBL you named it. Almost all of them suffer from the same thing, lack of natural bass. Only Advanced Model 3 have great sound and good bass aside the fact that using a cable those are High Resultion.

What I like about the AirPods is the deep bass, also nice highs. I was reading that people were complaining about sound quality, but if you feed crap to your headphone/earbuds that’s what they are going to reproduce. All my music is encoded @320KBs ACC, meaning I’m very demanding when it comes to sound quality. I can name all other advantages like switch from my Apple Watch, Mac and IPhone, the fact that I can locate them using the “Find my”, or the Siri integrations and battery live but those are a given. Finally the AirPods are a great companion to my Apple Watch for my jogging leaving the Phone behind.

So it took a fellow worker to told me that they were a great buy, and since I’m kind of an impulsive I got them. I’d sold all my earbuds but a 4 year old Jabra, and I keep my Koss Porta Pro BT because they are extremely comfy and their sound is amazing.

Mine are amazing but my charging case stopped working

Hopefully the wireless charging case comes soon

I have a strong suspicion the wireless battery case will be announced along side the Airpower in September as well.

Bass is great. My music collection doesn't really have much Bass-ey stuff (haven't really been listening to the few albums that have it anyway), but I recently got curious to see what Drake was all about & listened to his new album...the Bass was really impressive through the Airpods.

Of course, they need to fit right so you don't lose any detail, but if they do, you're filled with some serious Bass & it adds another dimension to your music.... great for workouts too.
