Apple Airpods - Unboxing Review

Apple AirPods Too Good or What Not?

I want a pair, however...

I've been longing to have one of them. Finally, after 3 years (yeah way too long ) I decided to buy a pair of them as I found the review seemed to be as good as legit.

But why so pricey?

It's been 3 years yet the price is still the same. Just a pair of Bluetooth headphones with a staggering price of $160. Along with its hefty price tag,  For some, It's a symbol of the Luxury brand itself - Apple. And second, A giant technology company.

What about other cheaper brands?

A lot of  $20 to $60 wireless earphones exist, but they are not particularly high quality. And the sound quality and user experience might not be as good.

And no doubt that it's extensively integrated with the Apple Ecosystem and delivers great performance. 

Totally Locked - Walled Garden

For Me, There is no way out to shift from another ecosystem. 

I'm totally locked out of Apple. 

From iCloud, Airdrop, iMessage, and Facetime (As most of my colleagues, friends, and family members use it ) Moreover,  I'm not into the luxury thing, however, I find Apple seems to provide a unique experience to the user. 

And, Another diminutive beast was added to my Apple Ecosystem.

Without further ado, Here's my quick unboxing review of the Apple Airpods.

Apple Airpods was introduced on September 7, 2016.  

The case of the Apple AirPods has a resemblance to a dental floss case. Pretty neat and has a minimalistic design.

Hidden inside is the airport itself.

Under the small packaging can be found the lightning cable. Just use any iPhone plug or whatever you have (for charging) 

It comes with a booklet explaining how to pair with them. Some warranty information as well.

I bought an accessory - a Jelly case to protect the case from scratches.

Apple, It promises that the battery life of the charging case will last up to 24 hours, up to 5 hours of battery life on one charge, and 15 minutes of charging equals to 3 hours of battery life.

And it seems that Apple is correct (*of course). As I use the Airpods for the very first time, the charging case is 80 percent and the earphones have both 80 percent battery life. I used them for listening to music, watching YouTube on my iPad, Netflix on my MacBook, and podcasts for two days without charging on the wall outlet.  And I can see that it delivers a promising result and a unique experience.  

How to Pair?

It is so easy. Make sure that your iPhone's Bluetooth is enabled.

Flip the case of the Airpod near your device. 

Airpods will gonna pop out on your screen like the one below:

Just tap connect, wait for a second and that's it.

Battery indicators from the earphones and the case will show up. 

Now, you are good to go 😃

Note: I will update this content and will create a follow-up review after 3 weeks.
