Disadvantages
Poor battery life Some reviews mention poor fit and inability to adjust fit
One set of headphones connects seamlessly across most devices. That’s why I pitched Apple’s classic AirPods to Caitlin DiGiorgio, an instructor at Pure Barre in California. “Once you pair it to your Apple device, like your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or Macbook, you don’t need to pair it again,” she says. “AirPods automatically switch to the device that’s playing content, so you can answer a call on your phone and instantly go back to listening to music on your iPad.” New York City-based trainer Kehinde Anjorin also likes being able to leave his phone in one room and train in another without worrying about losing connectivity.
When it comes to features, the latest AirPods feature Spatial Audio (so your music sounds like it’s coming from your surroundings), Active Noise Cancellation, Adaptive Audio (automatically adjusts the volume based on the noise around you), and Transparency. It has a mode. (So you can still hear the background noise).
