The Air pods are shaped exactly like the wired buds which come with the
iPhone just without the wires. Great sound and comfortable fit. I just won't
try any further buds which go into the ear canal. And the price is as much
as the Air pods. Thanks for the great description and I know what good
products they have.

I do not exactly know as I've never bought the apple airpods and do
not intend to. This set of awesome anker earbuds that I found on
amazon this morning get up to 8 hours of playtime on a single charge,
have usb C charging, as well as wireless charging of the earbud case.
They are around $150, but they seem totally worth it to me. I saw
many reviews on amazon saying how comfortable they were to wear and
how you get a lot of different ear tips to try out. I think even with
small ears, they would work. Anker, has awesome customer service. I
called them a lot in the past couple days and they always answered my
questions and they were very good at explaining something if I didn't
understand. You also get an 18 month warranty on any anker product
that you buy. I do intend on getting them when I save up some money.
These earbuds even work with the soundcore app which has some very
cool EQ settings.

they sometimes switch to the second device for, say a phone call, and then
do not switch back to the first device. This worked flawlessly in the
beginning. And if using on my laptop, the lag is so bad, I just can't
tolerate it.

Remember that the Airpods will not switch seamlessly/automatically and
instantly between your iPhone and Apple Watch.
They are Apple's own product and are supposed the most advanced Bluetooth
earbuds out there yet pretty much any other Bluetooth headset will do this
so I am not quite sure how this works and how Apple justifies this. I have
a
Voyager Edge single earpiece and if I pair it to both my iPhone and Apple
Watch, I can be listening to an audio book on my iPhone using the earpiece
and as soon as I do something on my watch the book stops and it switches
to
my watch, once I stop the book plays again as soon as the watch locks.

Hi Sieghard and all,
Yes, I need a wireless headset that can be instantly and seamlesly
switched
between my Iphone and Apple watch.
When I checked and compared prices of Plantronics and airpods, the airpods
cost about 30 euros more than Plantronics here in Slovakia, to not decided
yet which model I am going to buy.
Please, Are there any other models available that has this feature?
Thanks in advance.

Another option is to not get any kind of apple airpods at all. There
are some very nice wireless earbuds that are much cheaper but do sound
very good. There is a set of wireless earbuds from anker for around
$60 that can last up to 7 hours on a single charge. I've got a set of
wireless earbuds that work by touch controls and do sound very nice.
Just check sites like amazon and do a bit of research. Also, check
sites like youtube for product reviews which are all over youtube.
Anker really does make some great inexpensive products but don't sound
like crap. I just got an anker Icon speaker which is a small portable
speaker for around $38 that though portable sounds great and I really
like it.

you do get them that there might be a new generation of regular

the fact how so many people like the Airpods, regular or Pro, I still
believe that for me they are not worth the price especially not until
they figure out how they seamlessly and instantly switch back and forth
between your iPhone and Apple Watch.

I think Simon is steering you in the right direction. You don't want
the Airpod Pros but the Airpods, as Simon describes below. You asked
if you can use them while they're in the charging case, and the
answer is no you cannot. You cannot place them in your ear while
they're in the charging case, and when you place the Airpods in the
charging case the Bluetooth connection is shutdown.

Hi,
The original airpods or what are now known as the series 2 airpods
are what you are thinking of I believe.
These are the ones that look like apple have cut the wire off the
old wired earpods that use to come with your iphone or ipods
Now they come in a little flip top case that you can charge with a
standard iphone lightening cable Or if you wish to pay slightly
more you can get the wireless charging case which you can if you
have one place it on to a wireless charging pad and the case /
airpods charge just by sitting flat on the pad.
My suggestion would be the series 2 airpods which use Bluetooth to
pair with your phone and or other apple device using your apple id
And they can be used either together or as a single pod if you need
to have an ear free for other things.
Or if you wish to stay with the older wired airpods then you would
be best to look at the earpods with the lightening connection as the
newer phones no longer have the 3.5mm headphone jack, so the
lightening connectors ar what is needed if you don't go the airpods
Bluetooth way.
Hope this helps.

Hello list,
First I thought I'd never buy the airpods, but the more you talk
about airpods, the more I consider buying them.
However, I would like to get the airpods that look like original
apple wired ear buds.
I cannot wear the ones that go into ear canal, because they are not
confortable for me.
Although I have Iphone XR, I stil use ear buds that were sold with
Iphone 6, because I like the look, shape and the box for storage.
Honestly, I've not checked yet the look of Ear buds that go with
Iphone XR, so I cannot compare.
Do airpods look like Iphone 6 ear buds?
Can you use them when they are in charging case?
And how to make sure that I will buy the model I want?
I have heard that apple also has airpods that go into ear canal, so
I would like to avoid buying wrong model.
Thank you for your help in advance.

The Airpod Pros will be more expensive, about $100 more the last
time I
looked a few months ago. The Airpods look like wired ear buds
without the cables, so there's no noise cancellation, active or
passive. The Airpod Pros have the silicon tips that fit into your
ear, so they do have passive noise cancellation.
They also have active noise cancellation, as well as a transparency
mode, which picks up environmental sounds through the microphones
and transmits it through the Airpod Pros. Based on feedback I got
from this list, I went with the Airpod Pros myself, and I don't regret
it.
I had coupons and gift cards to burn though, so I'm not sure I would
have made the same choice if I were talking about my own money.
Bottom line for me is that if you can afford them go with the Pros,
but if price is a consideration, you might want to go with the Airpods
instead.
