Apple’s AirPods is a wireless headset,
released at Apple autumn new conference in Beijing on September 8, 2016 when
the iPhone 7 was also announced. In early December, repeatedly bounced the Apple
Airpods Bluetooth headset finally officially launched and began shipping one
after another. As the iPhone 7 canceled the 3.5mm standard headphone jack,
AirPods no doubt is the best match.
Main
features
Apple AirPods wireless headset built-in
infrared sensor which can automatically identify whether the headset is
automatically played inside ear, double-click to control Siri control. Life
time is 5 hours, wearing headset will automatically play music, beam microphone
is better. Charging box supports 24 hours battery life, the connection is very
simple, just need to open so that the iPhone can automatically identify.
AirPods need to match the Mac computer of above macOS 10.12, iPhone, iPad, iPod
touch of above iOS 10, or Apple Watch of above watchOS 3 to use. AirPods
Wireless Bluetooth Headset utilizes Apple's special close-up pairing software
and user's iCloud account for seamless connectivity with laptops.
Appearance
and packaging
I believe that after a look at the
packaging, even if the above "gap Apple" was covered out, the vast
majority of people can see it is Apple's things at a glance. Since the iPhone first
debuted in 2007, such as Apple's minimalist packaging has been popular. For many
of these manufacturers is also trying to imitate this type of packaging, that
is, in the beginning of the user's hand to bring out enough charming.
White rounded matchbox shape device is the
AirPods charging box (headset inside). AirPods are compatible with Mac (macOS
10.12), iOS devices (iOS 10) and Apple Watch (watch OS3), which use standard
Bluetooth enhance technology and Apple's unique near-field matching technology,
through iCloud seamlessly connect to your Notebook, iPhone and even Apple Watch.
Of course, it is also compatible with the standard Bluetooth protocol, Android
mobile phone can also use it, but the match does not reach the best level of
smoothness.
The main body of the headset is still the
continuation of Apple white headphones, which is Earpods style. But in the
small details of the AirPods there are two more holes (for the sensor), which and
built-in sensors for the AirPods bring two relatively useful features of
innovation: gesture touch recognition (currently only supports double click to
call Sir or pause / play music) and wear state recognition, when listening to
music taking the headphones off will automatically pause playback.; inside thread
built in battery, so the body become more thicker; vent control part of the
opening compared to EarPods looks also bigger, I believe AirPods sound will
also change. On box there is power indicator (green for the high point, orange
power for middle, red for low power). Two AirPods headphones are charged by
metal shock at the bottom of the charging box.
The microphone is hidden below handle. AirPods
in sound processing technology also has a lot of unique, borrowed a sound
accelerometer and beam forming microphone. The headphones can correctly
understand the user's current state, in order to reduce the noise interference.
The actual call quality effect is also OK, on the bus on the background noise
suppression effect is obvious, the voice did not produce much distortion,
roughly equivalent with the iPhone 6 call quality.
Trial
experience: wearing
AirPods equipped with W1 chip customized by
Apple for the Bluetooth audio (own Beats), not only can use the traditional
"Bluetooth adapter" way to connect, but also can through iCloud and
iPhone and Macbook for fast match, the smooth degree of adaptation really is
fast and stable. There is also a worth mentioning that, because you can set the
headset by using only, or in pairs, so the power of each headset can be detail
viewed. On status of AirPods two headphones and charging box, you can directly
through the pop-up window to view, conveniently and intuitively.
In the intense shaking, AirPods will fall
from the ear down, provided that you have to shiver violently. And in shock of relative
amplitude is not particularly large, wear for normal walking and in car,
AirPods can be good fit ears. And in the feelings of wearing, in fact, AirPods
and EarPods are almost the same weight and look, and wearing feeling is also basically
the same, a good sense of fit, not oppression. But one key point is that
AirPods do not support dustproof and waterproof features, during exercising a
little sweat erosion may damage the headset.
Trial
experience: sound quality
Compared to the cable EarPods, AirPods
achieved a small improvement in the overall sound. But the sound quality
upgrade can’t be regarded as a big promotion of grade, as the overall voice is still
Apple sense of American rock style. But the trips of energy distribution are
slightly balanced. If the wired EarPods has been able to meet your needs, then on
starting of the wireless AirPods, its voice is estimated what you are basically
satisfied with. On the whole, its sound quality among the same price items belongs
to high level, but not very excellent.
The most critical part: whether AirPods is
worth buying? Summed up into two suggestions: want to directed at its sound
quality, for friends with higher quality requirements, the choice of it is not
high cost-efficient, you’d better choose a wired earphone, such as JD88 Stereo
Headset 1.2M In-Ear Earphone For Smartphone; on the view of comprehensive
performance of a Bluetooth headset, AirPods is "smart", the sound is
acceptable, comfortable to wear, speed of connecting to iPhone or Macbook is
fast, the two words to describe: simple, easy to use, buy it without loss.
