Absolutely not. My experiences with all past Apple earphone products have always resulted in a tinny, unpleasant sound with barely any body and absolutely no noise isolation whatsoever. You could get some really great IEMs for the same price or even cheaper than a pair of airpods.

IEMS block too much noise (I want to be able to hear when people call my name and my surroundings when I'm outside) and a lot of the wireless ones just look ugly tbh

not if you're a skateboarder i got the wired version recently always falling out my facking ears

im not a sound engineer or w/e but they sound nice to me, they're comfortable as in i dont notice them after a while of them sitting in my ear unless i want to notice them, and they stay in my ear even when im running/biking. battery life on them is pretty good for me since i can go a couple days using them on and off without having to even worry about it. only pair of wireless earpieces ive had tho so i cant rly compare or anything

people who support apple sweat shops r evil!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If u want earbuds get apple, they r good quality have depth of sound. buy a different cheaper brand if u take them outside and keep the apple ones at ur pc.

edit: make sure u get the real ones from the apple website

Are you going to be using them indoors, outdoors, while working out?

If you're going to get a lot of use out of them, make sure they will stay in your ears, try and see if you can test a pair. Some people I know never use them because they are always falling out and are afraid of losing them. You can buy the wire attachment or simply just buy a different bluetooth set that already comes with the wire that you can wrap around your neck.

Minor detail, but they look kinda stupid on anyone who wears them in public. For a company that cares a lot about looks they sure didn't consider fashion

for music use, especially on your phone, its really good in terms of catching bass lines and subs. it does a fine job of staying in your ear on runs til your sweat drips down to your ear. if you just want good audio quality, these serve as fine of a job or even better than the bose earbuds ive had in the past. the price is obviously up to you, but id wait until a low price from a retailer or hope the gen 2 airpods cause the gen 1 airpods' price to drop.

its far better than older apple products but its a pricey tradeoff

-really good audio quality/deep basses
-slips if you sweat enough on runs
-how much do you wanna pay?

the secret they dont tell u is that if u take normal apple earbuds and cut the cord its almost as good as airpods and costs 80% (!!!) less

You will look like a goofball but they are as good as the wired

the virgin earbuds versus the chad loudspeaker

apple airpods make you look like a nonce dont wear them the only way you'd look more like a nonce was if you were photographed sneaking round the bushes at ur local infants school

life tip

dont be a nonce

This + your IEM of choice (as long as it has MMCX connectors)
