That feeling only people with AirPods will understand

I’m really sorry. For that baity headline. But honestly I couldn’t resist using words that are apparently guaranteeing a click 😜
So what’s this post about? Well I got myself a pair of AirPods a few days ago and I wanted to share my experience with them.
Are you f’kin insane? How could you spend 179€ on this stuff?
That’s how my wife reacted. And she’s right. The AirPods are really really expensive. Their price kept me from insta-buying them ever since they’ve been introduced.
What made me buy them?
Mostly the unbelievable amount of praise I read and heard about them. Especially one of my co-workers was amazed by them. He loves his AirPods
This is one step to the future. Honestly I feel like a damn cyborg when wearing these.
I wanted to feel like a cyborg as well. I wanted to see what future is like.
Why are people so obsessed with their AirPods?
Aren’t they just overpriced earbuds?
I was blown away
I’ve never even imagined that I one day will be writing this, but here it is:
These headphones don’t feel like a tool. They feel natural. They perfectly blend into your day.
What do I mean by this? I’m pretty sure anyone that has AirPods already understands.
AirPods are just there. For every audio related task, they just seem perfect.
- My wife and me each take one AirPod when watching Game of Thrones and other, less important, series. Why is this better than using other wireless headphones? Well, first, the pods are not bound by a cable. They are separate pieces. Second: for people that are used and accustomed to EarPods, they feel exactly the same. Not uncomfortable at all. Third: taking a pod out of your ear will pause playback. This is awesome for two people. When getting something from the kitchen, I just take out the Pod, get it, put it back in my ear, and whatever we are watching will resume. One less interaction with the AppleTV remote.
- They connect amazingly fast. Honestly, Bluetooth headphones are only as good as their speed when it comes to switching audio source devices. And AirPod connection speed is out this world. Kudos to Apple engineers.
- They are lightweight and hold tight inside the ear. I guess this depends on the shape of your ear. But to me, having them in my ears feels great – because i almost forget about the fact i am wearing them.
- They charge superfast and the carrying case doubles as a charging dock. Why did other manufacturers not come up with this? Honestly, why? And the best: using only one of them essentially doubles the operating time.
I like my AirPods.
I’d even say: they are one of the best gadgets I’ve used in the past few years.
