Apple AirPods review

  1.    jThe Apple AirPods are still a perfectly respectable pair of true wireless earbuds – even now that the upgraded AirPods (2019) have replaced them. With decent sound quality and seamless device pairing, all you have to worry about is if they fit your ears and if you can deal with the lack of an in-line remote to control your music.
 
  • § Battery life is exceptional
  • § Sound is great
  • § Pairing is quick and easy
Before you get stuck into this review, it's worth mentioning that Apple has refreshed these super popular earbuds with the more recent AirPods (2019), which means the tech giant has discontinued the original AirPods – but that doesn't mean you should write them off. 
A few years on and many retailers are still trying to get rid of their remaining stock, which means AirPod prices have dropped, making them a better option for those on a budget. While the AirPods (2019) aren't significantly different from the originals, Apple's earbuds are still among the best true wireless earbuds you can own. 
The AirPods could be your best solution if you're an iPhone owner, with every new model, from the iPhone 7 to the new iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, lacking a 3.5mm headphone jack. 
There are more and more cheap AirPods deals since the 2019 version of the buds were launched, but they normally cost $159 (£159 AU$229). 
However, since the AirPods (2019) resulted in the discontinuation of the original AirPods, you may find prices have dropped at some retailers. 
As the AirPods (2019) aren't significantly different from the originals, these Apple earbuds are still among the best true wireless earbuds you can own. 

AirPods: Sound quality

For all our reservations about the fit and feel of the AirPods, they actually sound pretty good.
The days of weak, tinny sound are over. Listen to a track like Turbowolf’s Nine Lives, and the bass nicely cuts through the track without overwhelming the mid and treble notes.
It means the headphone’s sound has energy and rhythm to it, whether you want to relax with some Slayer, or get pumped up with Enya. 
There’s also a good amount of space in the soundstage. Turn on Back to Black by Amy Winehouse, and the layering in the orchestral backing is impressive

AirPods: Battery life

The long stems protruding from the bottom of each earbud might be bulky, but the plus side of that bulk is that the AirPods’ battery life is really great.
Apple’s claim of five hours battery life from the AirPods appeared to be completely accurate in our tests, and even better was the amount of time it took to recharge them using the charging case, meaning that charge was never far away whenever it did dip low.
This convenience is only going to improve in the future with the rumored addition of a wireless charging case that will allow you to charge your AirPods wirelessly.
