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.

I like my AirPods.

I’d even say: they are one of the best gadgets I’ve used in the past few years.
