Apple’s AirPods have been out for a while now and they combine new feature and convenience, making it one of the best true wireless earbuds out there. Different user reviews are saying that these earbuds are not value for money. Let’s check out its specifications.

Design: Apple is king when it comes to the question of blending quality and design, and that’s still the case with the AirPods. Even though they’re made of plastic, the charging case feels great. It’s lightweight and sturdy enough to be tossed into your pocket. This is good because you’re going to want to keep the case on you at all times, even if it’s just to store the buds when you’re not using them. The new AirPods (or AirPods 2) still look exactly the same and have exactly the same build as well.

However, the only real difference that is visible to the eye when it comes to the original AirPods and the new AirPods is the small LED light on the front of the case for charging and pairing. It was previously on the inside of the case, so you would have to flick open the case in order see it. Thankfully, it’s been moved to where it should have been all along: right on the front of the outside.

Battery life: Apple claims that the battery will last you about five hours on a single charge, but during our objective testing, we weren’t quite able to reach that. Instead, at 75dB we found that the new Apple AirPods were able to provide 4 hours and 7 minutes of playback time using an iPhone X over the AAC codec. Compared to the original version, the H1 chip seems to offer about 21 per cent longer life on the newest iteration of Apple’s true wireless earbuds. Though this may seem like a significant increase, we’re only

talking about 30 or so minutes of extra battery life because the power cell is so small.

Sound quality and microphone: The AirPods provide a very ear-friendly sound. The AirPods target a somewhat bass-heavy response, but most people will not hear it simply because the AirPods don’t cancel out sound, nor do they block it out.

The AirPods takes a one-size-fits-all approach, so chances are these won’t fit your ears perfectly. This means that outside noises easily find their way into your ears and these things leak like it’s nobody’s business. If you don’t want the person next to you to hear your music, you’re going to have to turn down the volume substantially. However, this is only under perfect

conditions.

The new Apple AirPods do a surprisingly decent job with their microphones, as their tiny capsules can only provide so much audio quality. However, we’re confident in saying that these should be just fine for conference calls and other voice chatting services, as they manage their shortcomings extremely well.

Now, let’s talk about the price. The price of this gadget is Tk 15000. This is certainly a lavish product, delimiting its consumer. However, still music enthusiast people will afford this product no matter how much bucks one might spend on it. This product will be available in Daraz, othoba and other e-commerce platforms.
