Current Events > Airpods? Are those wireless ear buds any good in your honest opinon?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm thinking of picking some up.

I have had Galaxy buds for several months and I've really liked them so far.

My friend just got them and let me try them and they sounded pretty great.

why aren't they called airbuds

I have the Powerbeats Pros

Wireless sucks. Too easy to lose and you have to shove them into your ear holes. I'll take sound blocking wired headphones any day.

good question. as an audiophile im curious too. i cant imagine the wireless tech has gotten good enough to make up for latency issues?

When watching movies and stuff its fine but when navigating the UI or playing games the latency is still quite absurd

Airpods suck IMO. There is no fit to them and if youre lucky enough to have them fit your ear properly then they are still shit.

bought them, returned them the next day cause they didnt fit snug at all and I could hear everything around me.

galaxy buds are great. Ive owned a set for over a year and If you can get them on sale they are pretty good.

now, the AirPod pros.

if you need continuity amongst your devices they are MILES better than the standard airpods. Like, not even close. The noise cancellation is quite impressive and they sound fine.

if you have the $249 and you want to match brand for brand I highly recommend them over the standard airpods.

I have the PowerBeats Pro. The pluses are the battery life which is insane, and the strength/connection distance, and the intuitiveness of the whole system. The minuses are that the connection can be unreliable when initially put on, they are very easily lost, and the noise cancellation is non-existent. I'd say they're overall worth getting.
