AirPods are the default earbuds for iPhone users, but the AirPods Pro and Samsung Galaxy Buds Live are better options.

| $128.98 USD | purchasing options |

| Positives | Great connection
Super portable
Better battery life (on iOS) thanks to new H1 chip |
| | Negatives | Terrible/no isolation
The best features are still iOS exclusive
Even with the improvement, battery life is still just average |
|
|
| Bottom Line | If you're looking to just listen to music or a few podcasts, the new AirPods are a good choice since the connection never drops and the battery life is longer than the previous version. Plus you can also charge the case wirelessly with any Qi wireless charger. Just don't expect to get a great sound experience and know that some of the cool features like auto-pause and "Hey Siri" functionality are iOS-only. |
