I got my Air Pods today and I am very impressed. Keep in mind I am not an "audiophile" like some of you guys
. I usually use the stock Ear Pods Apple packs with their products.
So....the AirPods case is very cool. Its small...like the size an egg small. I love that it holds a 24 hour charge that re-juices your Air Pods when you store them. I guess I'll need to charge the case like once a week.
As advertised, as soon as you open the case your Apple product (iPhone, ipad, etc.) automatically "grabs" them. There is a magnet to hold the case shut and a very gratifying click occurs when you close the case
Simple, easy connection. A pretty cool feature is all of your Apple products on the cloud actually are paired right away. I switched over to my ipad and there they were...already paired - very cool.
The sound is excellent in my opinion. Its definitely better than the wired EarPods I normally use. The base is definitely better and the overall sound is superb.
One of the worries most have about these is the fit - will they stay in your ears. I hate the rubber 'push' in your ear buds. They never seem to fit. That is why I use the stock EarPods. Well, the Airpods fit my ears great. I shook my head vigorously (yes I looked like a clown) and they didn't budge. I did actually buy a strap specifically made for the Air Pods to physically connect them. Link is below. Spigen makes it.
My overall initial impressions are great. I am extremely satisfied. Can't wait to use them in the gym tomorrow
