Apple AirPods (2019) Review - Small upgrades | Trusted Reviews

 

More like v1.5, the second-generation of the Apple AirPods are simple yet great wireless earphones that are a pleasure to use

Great battery life and charging case ; Wireless charging a nice addition ; Fantastic connection

Doesn’t address problems with the first-gen product ; Wireless charging case costs extra ; Fit might be dodgy for some

The second-generation AirPods are simple yet great wireless earphones that are a pleasure to use

Apple AirPods (2019) review

 

Impressive true wireless headphones, now with better sound

Tonally balanced ; Improved sonic sophistication ; Flawless wireless tech

Won’t fit everyone ; No buttons ; Sound harsh when pushed

Technically and sonically better than before, the second generation AirPods offer unbeatable Bluetooth usability and decent sound quality

Apple AirPods 2 review: Small improvements spell second-gen success?

 

The 2nd generation AirPods add wireless charging to the case. But with a divisive design and high price point are these the wireless in-ears to buy?

Quick to charge using the included case ; Now offers Hey Siri for voice control ; Easy to connect thanks to H1 chip

Not great in noisy environments ; The same polarising design ; Many premium competitors ; Can fall out ; Expensive

While the headline announcement is a wireless charging case, the real winner for the second-generation AirPods is the better managed battery that delivers a noticeable improvement in talk time between charges. Otherwise the divisive design remains the...

Apple AirPods 2 review

 

With Hey Siri support and an upgraded chipset, the new AirPods are amongst the smartest wireless earbuds on the market.

Smarts tailored to iOS users ; Comfortable to wear ; Incredible beamforming mic technology

Doesn't fit all ears perfectly ; No custom eartips ; Mid-range audio quality

The second-gen AirPods are a great iterative upgrade, offering improved connection speed, talk time and Hey Siri support, although a lack of improvements in the audio department will leave audiophiles wanting more.

Apple AirPods (2019) review

 

Pod-like genius

H1 chip is super speedy ; Hands-free Siri works well ; Wireless charging ; Very few performance issues

Still no noise isolation ; Expensive ; Unspectacular audio ; Don’t fit all ears

Not a major upgrade by any means, but Apple’s iconic earbuds are becoming harder to resist

Apple AirPods review (2019): More of the same, but that's OK

 

Apple's updated AirPods don't pack many thrilling upgrades, but the improvements they did get make for more seamless, convenient use. Because of that, little about the new AirPods are worth the upgrade for existing owners — that is, of course, unless...

Improved wireless performance ; Same solid battery life ; Supports wireless charging if you’re into that

In-ear fit isn’t for everyone ; No meaningful change to sound quality ; Wireless charging is slow

Apple AirPods (2nd Generation)

 

The second-generation Apple AirPods come with a wireless charging case, but do little to justify their higher price or improve upon the shortcomings of the original model.

Crisp, clear audio. Excellent wireless charging case design. Solid mic clarity. Hands-free Siri access. Easy pairing.

Limited on-ear controls. In-ear fit and lack of canal seal can feel loose and impact audio. No IP rating for water resistance. Expensive.

The hands-free Siri feature is a welcome addition and the charging case improvements are nice, but the new AirPods don't represent a significant step forward from the previous model—but they cost $40 more. The on-ear controls are still awkward, the...

Apple AirPods 2 Review: The Sound of Convenience

 

The original Apple AirPods succeeded because of one core quality: convenience. Ease of connection and ease of daily use instantly set them apart from rivals, and underscored yet again how Apple's tight-knit ecosystem of hardware and software can give...

Convenience remains king ; Battery life improvements are noticeable ; Connects faster and with more stability ; Wireless charging is useful

Still no active noise cancellation ; Siri requires a data connection to work ; No waterproofing
