The editors didn't like
The Powerbeats Pro are more expensive than AirPods. The charging case isn't pocket-friendly
Nor does it offer wireless charging. The headphones deliver some treble push
And may not fit all ears perfectly
Expensive
If you drop one
It's hitting the ground or worse
Might look dorky
Sorta dorky looking
Though dorkiness is in the eye of the beholder
And this may fade as they become normalized
Wireless issues aren't 100-percent solved
Easy to lose
Might not fit your ears
Apple seems to have backed off from claims that the AirPods
Only one gesture
No battery indicator on Android
Not much
There's really only one thing that I think could improve the AirPods and that's more gesture control. A programmable triple-tap gesture would be handy for launching the music app or the phone app. Being really picky and having large fingers

Have to use Siri
Small and easy to lose

Must use Siri for most controls
Amazing wireless headphones
The AirPods are convenient
Sounds great and offer impressive battery life

My favorite AirPods feature isn't how easy it is to sw
UGLY
They ain't got no alibi. All the best features only work with Apple gear. They don't sound as good as they should for the price
Reliance on Siri
Third-party music apps lack deep control Apple Music enjoys
No "Find my AirPods" tracking system
Audio quality on par with free EarPods
Not the best fit
Sound isn't great
Terrible/no isolation
The best features are still iOS exclusive
Even with the improvement
Battery life is still just average
Won't fit everyone's ears
Open design lets in outside noise
Awkward looks
Poor noise isolation
Limited control scheme
Bass delivery varies significantly across users
Their open design allows for a lot of ambient noise to leak in. There are no controls on the buds (except Siri). Similarly priced wireless models deliver better sound. And yes
They look pretty dorky
Limited controls
No equalizer
Lacks ambient listening mode
Onesizefitsall design won't fit everyone's ears perfectly
Limited gesture controls
The one size fits all design may not be suitable for everyone
