My Apple AirPods Confession

I've got a confession to make

I was starting to feel a bit guilty here. You know, I'm just, I'm being honest

I'm being transparent. In front of me, I mean you know this product

This product became such a meme. It's like, it's crazy how it picked up steam after the fact, after it came out

I mean when it came out, there were jokes about it. There was a lot of talk about it

This little dental floss. Like I said, I mean it's almost exactly like a dental floss case

What does it think it's doing? What does it think it is? Why does it have a $160 price tag

This is of course the Apple AirPods. Apple AirPods now when that came out I made some comments you know I was like I

don't really like this thing that much not getting a ton of volume now it's

probably better for my hearing in the long run but I like a I like a thought

to it you know sound quality is not there there's not a lot of isolation I

can say the sound I'm not happy with the sound the convenience is an A plus though

there's just way better headphones out there and way better value out there so

I kind of said that in that video and I continued to say that for a little while

But these things they somehow they stuck around They were in my bag from time to time They were at home They went a few places with me and so the problem with that is i started to think wait i told people i don really like these things but

here i am using them i felt like i had to sit down and just set it straight i've been using the

airpods and kind of enjoying it i have some reasons for it they are not perfect they're still not

great and i still would not recommend them at this price point for most people that are in the

headphone market looking for some new headphones i still wouldn't but yes i reach for these things

frequently and in most circumstances i actually prefer them to other headphone options even though

i don't use an iphone what is it's s10 right now but even before that with the oneplus and as i

mentioned before with the laptop so what is it what's special about these well man apple really

did something here in terms of the package in terms of fit and finish the scale the convenience

factor. Never mind sound, isolation, bass It not here Alright That not what these things are about Now you saying wait a second they headphones How can you not evaluate them on those parameters I do a lot of listening to spoken word audio podcasts and that where

these things really shine. You just need some audio wirelessly in a very small package that's convenient, charged up, fits in your

pocket. There's really not a great alternative that I'm yet aware of. Now there are other products that are fully wireless like this that have little charge

cases, I've talked about them. Some of them have features better than what's offered on here, but

they all give up a little something. For example, the wireless earbud style that sits further in the

ear. Improvement in sound quality, improvement in sound isolation. But the problem, the in and out

function. You pop it in, it's a bit of a crank. You kind of get it set in there. This guy over here

it's a real, it's a casual endeavor. It's like, it's like nothing. What did you say? Oh, okay

cool. See you later. Now this earbud is not going to fit everyone and it looks wacky and wonky and

And when you see him out in public, you're like, who does this guy think he is

You can't help it. For whatever reason this is the design We just having to live with it But that design gives you some positive aspects like the form factor Like I said earlier this is tiny I need to give you a warning here

Even though this is a confession video about me actually using these things, however reluctantly

there have been circumstances where these were in my bag and I wanted to die. There was a time at a coffee shop, for example, there was an obnoxious conversation going on

over my shoulder. It was all, yeah, yeah, go on, go on

I was dying. they do very little to isolate external noise. There was nothing I could do about it

I couldn't crank them up anymore. Similar circumstances where I have access to real noise cancelling headphones like the Sonys

I can't hear anything. The conversation behind me doesn't matter at all. So these are not a replacement for that

But somehow, some way, in so many circumstances, I just end up reaching for these

And I felt that it was important to let you know. Now the real question is at this point

what's Apple gonna do for version number two? I think the popularity of this product possibly even surprised them

I'm still not certain exactly why I keep reaching for these, but it's the truth

I do, and you deserve the truth
