Is it worth the upgrade?
Apple’s first-generation AirPods sold over 800,000 units in the span of 2.25 years.
Early adopters for Apple headphone prove that the acquisition for Beats in 2014 was a solid investment.
Apple’s second-generation AirPods is the most anticipated product update of March 2019 Apple news conference.
New Features included:
-Wireless Charging
-Bluetooth 5.0
-Activate Siri with just Voice
Rumor features that didn’t happen:
-Black version
-Water Resistance
-Health Kit integration
Tested both out for a full day of normal use.
Sound Quality: I noticed no sound differences
Wireless Charging Case: Great to have, I don’t use wireless Charging, as I notice wireless charging can causes heats to the device compare with wire charging.
Bluetooth 5.0: I did notice a bit improvement in the range not any substantially.
Voice activate Siri: Enable hand-free Siri with Apple latest S1 chip . I prefer the first generation with the double tapping on the headphone.
Verdict: If you have the money & an early adopter, AirPods 2 is the most popular wireless headphone in the work.
For me, AirPods first generation does the job for me. The connection delay & sound quality was unnoticeable.
