  • Faster pairing, Wireless charging, Hands-free ‘Hey Siri' functionality
  • Wireless charging case costs extra, Audio hasn't improved, Identical design to the originals
  • Aside from the wireless charging case (which costs extra), the new AirPods don't seem to be a huge improvement on their predecessors. Yes, pairing is noticeably quicker, the hands-free ‘Hey Siri' feature is useful, and having the option to charge wireless...

  • If you're yet to delve into the world of AirPods, the AirPods 2 are a great choice – the updated headphones boast advanced functionality like Hey Siri support and longer talk time between charges – but if you already own a pair of first-gen AirPods, the d...

  • Sleek carry case, improved sound and fit compared to previous models
  • Features are lacking compared to rivals, fiddly to use
  • Two months with the AirPods was enough time to convince us the earpods aren't as bad as we thought but not enough for to make us want to swap our wired Sennheiser earphones for Apple's wireless ones. Apple's AirPods are selling surprisingly well Ap...

  • If you have an iPhone — or are in the Apple ecosystem — the new AirPods are no-brainer. They are fast, smart and deliver class audio performance — even if it's not better than the first AirPods. The competition is heating up in the wireless earbuds or ‘he...

  • Abstract:  I doubt if there is one particular earphone that is more popular than the Apple AirPods. In the US for instance, you would see everyone from Silicon Valley CEOs to construction workers wearing them all the time. A recent trip to HongKong exposed me to dif...

  • Ample bass, Peppy highs with smooth roll-off, Low distortion, Improved battery life over first-gen AirPods
  • Recessed mids, Long charging times, Prone to scratches
  • The new Apple AirPods sound good, not great, but good. While the earphones produce relatively deep bass that's not highly accurate, it handles the highs quite well but the mids are slightly dampened. With a slew of features that will cater to most users'...

  • Light, familiar fit, Pleasing audio quality, Useful gestures, Siri voice activation, Very good battery life
  • Somewhat weak bass, No passive isolation, Not a big update over first-gen AirPods,
  • The new AirPods are priced slightly higher than the originals in India, at Rs. 14,900 for the version sold with the standard charging case. If you go with the wireless charging case like the unit we have, this will set you back by Rs. 18,900. If you have...
