Warm, relatively balanced sound, Decent volume, Rechargeable storage, Siri connection is a little easier to talk to
Audio bleeds in and out due to earbud design, meaning you'll probably have to turn them up in transit, Controls need work and customisation, May not be comfortable for all, Android controls aren't customisable at all
While the negatives are still notable, the positives with the 2019 Apple AirPods are their saving graces: it's the same sound with better connectivity, Siri integration, and more battery life. And depending on the sort of person you are, you can free your...

Abstract: If you'd told me in 2007 that people would be walking around listening to music with wireless, popcorn-sized earbuds, I would have called you crazy. It is now 2017, and these futuristic little gadgets are a reality. But which ones are the best?Pretty much...

Abstract: You wait years for an AirPods update and then two arrive in the same year: the second-gen AirPods in early 2019, and the AirPods Pro in the autumn. But which is right for you, and what are the differences?Apple calls the Pro models "Magic for your ears"...
You can easily check the battery level by holding the AirPods next to your iPhone or just by asking Siri 'How's the battery on my AirPods?', Playback of music pauses when one earbud is removed from your ear, making it less likely you'll misplace one of th
There's no way to use the earphones if you run out of battery
Apple's Airpods were one of the first pairs of truly wireless headphones to hit the market, as the two earbuds had no cable joining them and made them really wire-free. Now, Apple has launched a new version that have a couple of handy bells and whistles t...

Quick to charge using the included case, Now offers Hey Siri for voice control, Easy to connect thanks to H1 chip
Not great in noisy environments, The same polarising design, Many premium competitors, Can fall out, Expensive
Really, the Airpods 2 could easily be seen as AirPods v1.5 because Apple hasn't touched the overall design or sound capabilities at all. Heck, there isn't even a new colour to show you've got the new model.Replacing the originals - and you can no longer b...

Tonally balanced, Improved sonic sophistication, Flawless wireless tech,
Won't fit everyone, No buttons, Sound harsh when pushed,
Apple has strengthened the AirPods in the areas they were already strong and chosen to leave their weaknesses more or less as they are. It's an odd approach, but the success of the first-generation model proves that the formula works.We'd love them to fit...
