Apple pioneered the trend of true wireless earbuds (TWS), and since then, AirPods have been the industry benchmark and have been the market share, with nearly 60 million pairs of AirPods sold in 2019, accounting for 60% of the entire market.
The biggest advantage of AirPods is the interconnection with Apple devices, ease of use, connection stability, and latency performance are very good, and it can be easily connected when the lid is opened, except for a little delay when WeChat voice, and the delay is almost not felt in actual use, relying on this alone, the experience has outperformed the vast majority of true wireless earbuds in the Android camp.
AirPods series products are divided into semi-in-ear AirPods2 and in-ear AirPods Pro, semi-in-ear AirPods2 wearing method is the same as wired EarPods, the appearance is roughly the same as the first generation, using Apple's own latest H1 chip, support Bluetooth 5.0, the official claim that the delay can be reduced by up to 30% compared with the first generation, the battery life has not been greatly improved, the word battery life is about 6 hours, with the charging case can reach 24 hours, the battery life is enough for one day.
AirPods2 has a wireless charging version and a wired charging version to choose from, the wireless version is a little more expensive than the wired version, but it is more convenient, and users who usually have the habit of using wireless charging can consider it. In general, compared with the first-generation AirPods, the second-generation AirPods are considered minor repairs and minor repairs, which are upgrades with no price increase.
As for AirPods Pro, compared with AirPods2, there is a big upgrade, the battery box and headphones are newly designed, and the active noise cancellation function and transparency mode are added for the first time, but the noise reduction effect has reached the first echelon level in the industry, and Bose, Sony, etc., although it is in-ear, but the wearing experience is also more comfortable than the general in-ear type, so that the sound insulation is not stuffy at the same time, suitable for users with commuting needs.
Because it is equipped with active noise cancellation, AirPods Pro battery life is only 4.5 hours, slightly lower than AirPods second generation, but there is not much difference, you can still get 24 hours of battery life by charging through the charging case, the sound quality is slightly better than AirPods2, the low frequency is sufficient, but it is still Apple's usual boiled water tuning style, which is not good to listen to but durable.
Apple added seamless switching and spatial audio features to AirPods 2/Pro in iOS 14, which aims to switch AirPods 2/Pro directly to the device no matter which Apple device you pick up, reducing the need to turn Bluetooth back on and connect again. Spatial audio is to pave the way for Apple's AR function in the future, turning your head left and right in Dolby Atmos videos to feel the direction of the sound emitted by the device, creating a sense of space for users in the headphones.
It should be noted that although AirPods can be used on the Android platform, they may have a high latency when used on Android devices, which is a waste of losing the biggest advantage of AirPods, so it is recommended to use it with the iOS platform to maximize the performance.
