My initial impression after 2 days of solid use

[garment69]

I just bought these and not feeling it so far. First, the connection is not great. I'm getting a lot of break up. Second, lacking the ability to skip forward or control the volume without my phone or watch is a royal PIA. I knew this going in, but the reality is worse than I suspected. Other then that, their great.

I am fortunate. I have not any break up at all and I've used them in a lot of different places. I get break up from my Powerbeats at times in my gym. I have not had that happen with the AirPods yet, buts I've only used them 3 times in there.

I do wish we could control volume and skip songs without the phone or watch. I would imagine that we will see that down the road. It's not a deal breaker for me though. The comfort and overall ease of use out way the negatives for me.

Thanks. If you are happy with what you are using then definitely stick with it.

I have been in the market for new wireless headphones since I washed my Powerbeat 2's. lol. I have to jump start them before each use.

I always used the PB 2's for gym only. The AirPods have become my go to for pretty much everything so they were a good buy for me. I know they won't be for everyone though.

I guess for me I've gotten use to using Siri. I use commands such as "hey Siri skip song", "hey Siri lower volume", "hey Siri increase volume" so on and so on....the AirPods work great with Siri, but I did have to get use to not touching my iPhone and using simple commands.
I haven't experienced any bad connections as of yet. They work just fine for me.
I'm still enjoying my Apple AirPods.
