AirPods 2 Review! Everything New vs AirPods 1

in airpods •  6 years ago 

What's up guys everything out full Pro here today we've got air pods - it's always a great day get a sit and talk about new air pods so these weren't the upgrade we were expecting but it's the one we deserve or at least I think anyways I was on my way to Seattle to pick these up there were none in my area then Bridgeport got them so I managed to turn around finally get some air pause what a mission it has been just to get here to sit down and open these book we've got the wireless charging case we've got the new air pods - I'm genuinely curious how different are they compared to the first generation and what way did they change like where are the changes I want to notice all those so so far people have been saying that the sound quality is better and others have said it hasn't changed at all that's why I'm I'm very curious is it any better I'm actually gonna do a teardown and open them up see what's inside but just from the software side I want to see how much faster are they than regular air pods and just for the effect I'm going to open some first-generation ones as well so $200 what are you getting for $200 you're getting the h1 chip you're getting bluetooth there's a new hinge on air pods to that I'm also very curious about I mean seeing some stuff online about it is the hinge any better or worse how's the snappiness I'm sure Apple considers that man it's kind of hot here that one says it on the front so the packaging changes where this one says it has the wireless charging case on it right here this is its own case well than that in a sec alright so right from the get-go this is what we got going on we have a little LED right here and it doesn't feel any different let me see just the weights alone off these out of here yeah my fingers are all injured guys sorry I am a walking wreck a fuel just about the same maybe a little heavier but no I'm not not bad at all the button placement on the back does change but so let's see more in detail what we got going on so the text the text is lighter now the metal on the back of the hinge it's now a matte like a frosted metal very cool button is just as clickable still the same fun design you know and love lightning port on the bottom now looks like the LED case is only thing that's different otherwise let's see if anything has changed on the in I hear still includes the same lightning cable cool so not a lot going on you know you expect for such a big change you'd expect Apple to to market it differently you would basically not even know this is a different case had it not been for this little wireless charging case over here same look same everything practically everywhere on it hmm I would have done more calls Apple I would have embraced the air pods loved even more but hey glad to have these at least okay so you know there are a couple of tests that I had in mind driving home kind of to really get an idea for the sound test and I think we're gonna do a blind hearing test and you know just gonna do the usual one in one in the other from each generation but okay opening it up does it come charged oh and this is what happens so these actually need a software update right away I heard you could use them on iOS or earlier so if you are waiting for a jailbreak you might be able even use these we'll find out here in a second some features of this audio accessory require a new version of iOS Wow so huh you do need to be on the latest iOS in order to run this very cool alright so I'm on an iOS 12 earlier beta so I'm gonna go without this see what we can do without setting it up with updates for the jailbreak peeps out there oh there's a new connection screen definitely audio accessory connecting but I wonder if we'll be able to get the Siri functionality without the software updates does it need to be on it as a question so while that's setting up these don't look any different from the outside they look exactly the same the back alright so it looks like these have connected very cool ooh the hinge inside has got that frosted matte look I'm not seeing any physical changes the text is the same yeah there's like no change even the text on the bottom is almost the same just a different model number alright man what a journey this is so hard I don't know why I mix them up I literally mix them up and one of the air pods syncs with the new wireless case from the first gen so that tells me that they're very similar if they're interchangeable and you can use them with both cases which you can I do confirm then are they even any difference so I've updated both the hopefully hopefully we can get something going here finally but I've set them up on their own respective devices finally okay now we get the option to set up a series so basically if you're on an earlier firmware you will not have the option to set up hey Siri that function okay so now they're set up properly on the firmware that belongs to these air pods so you can confirm them to earlier devices it's just the compatibility isn't going to be exactly the same and you're not gonna get the hey Siri feature so let's try that out oh it did work cool so now hey Siri play a song easily switch through songs wow that is so convenient hey Siri play the next song cool and there's that Iowa's new pop ups so that's why they did that huh because you're gonna be asking Siri for that often so that new music player that's new just for this reason very cool okay one in each ear firing from the hip let's go wow they actually have different start times yeah even so here we go one two three so now I'm gonna bring him up to about the same you'd be very hard-pressed to notice a difference it sounds like the same in both ears hmm so you know I'll turn it up all the way to here just just to be sure same loudness on both same clarity same bass on the bass part yeah so these honestly sounds identical to me there's no sound difference what I was seeing on Twitter a lot of people going crazy about the sound I disagree there's almost no difference between them in fact there is no difference for me that I'm able to hear Oh what I will tell you though is that this one started playing the faster it connected faster look at this they both disconnect you pop them at the same time look at that this one pops in a little faster pop out pop in oh yeah yeah so apples apples claim is true look at that that did connect faster looks like the connection speed certainly is there I'm able to see a faster response to the iPhone in most cases not always which is strange I'm sure it'll get better with software that's that's the only answer I have for you I was also playing around with the cases and I got to say this one feels more solid you can tell there's like no give this is new and it's a little it doesn't sound the same even like there's a little listen to that like there's a little give way here now here oh no it's still there so side to side that's still there but to me the click sounds a little bit different a little more firm I'd say so definitely on a clicky scale they got that down but sound quality sounds the same to me even the bass parts like having one in each ear if you guys have the old ones try it's like you will notice no difference am I crazy no I a police ound differences twos I really don't expect any new ones there I also want to take a look at the wireless charging case right here let's let's see if anything's different with this one so earlier in the rumors we heard that one of the cases might be a little bit larger and out zooming that's probably for air pods 3 as this case is exactly the same dimension wise so for $79 you're gonna get this case here let's see if it's exactly the same as this one and yeah it does look appear to be the same hinge same button placement model a 1 938 yep exact same so you're getting the same case here same in the air pods to set up as well it's just softer stuff the chip inside is gonna be different so you know just from this just from some quick light using I gotta say there's almost no difference you know physically except for the wireless charging case the connection speed maybe even that I'm not noticing anything any fast crazy fast response rate so let's see this so let's put them open at the same time right here yeah look at that 1 2 3 I'm not seeing it be faster like okay popped up there faster there it is ok ok for the convenience wise $40 extra if you're choosing between them definitely worth it upgrading from air pods one no the best thing you can do is just buy the case and I'll take care of your issues it won't give you the untethered hey Siri or the faster connection speeds but again I'm not even noticing those that much now lastly let's test connection range because these do come with bluetooth now and theoretically the range should be getting better so let's go outside see how far we can get from the phones alright so in my left ear pods - guess we'll just walk all right 20 feet 30 40 feet 40 feet 50 feet 60 feet well it's still good holding strong 70 80 feet say a hundred feet still going strong air pods - air pods one no cutouts yet so on the fake ones we usually start seeing a cutout right here nothing going on here still good I'm honestly really surprised and we're gonna run out of space here still got a clear shot to them still working Wow blowing me away so nothing on me okay we're at least 150 feet away right now okay Oh cutting out the right one well I guess we won in the forest okay this one's just started cutting out they both both just died as soon as we got a tree in the way it's funny like right here I step over here they start working yeah that's funny both still work right here though both cut out past this tree man we need like an empty field to really test it but yeah I would say it's no better in range than this one there's no difference they both cut out they both stutter it's funny the stutters on both happen in the exact same time 150 to 200 feet that's crazy and still very reliable signal as long as there's again nothing in between you so cool can't go wrong with range but if you're trying to upgrade to the - to get better range I don't see a difference no better sound quality no better range you're just getting the wireless charging case slightly better connection speed and the hey Siri thing so I would say just get the wireless case you're not missing out on much unless the convenience of the hey Siri thing really matters to you but it's really cool I could see myself you can see myself doing that at the gym your hands are full you don't like the song you just want to swap it I would say don't upgrade from airport air pods - it's literally not worth it for that money you can get some really nice headphones but definitely get the wireless wireless charging case that alone is pretty cool I expected more from the speed I'm not seeing that speed difference that times faster I guess in a phone call calling someone they said it'll connect times faster gaming we should try that out actually but yeah guys good value I'd say on their own but do not upgrade from air pods one - these simply not worth I guys stay tuned for the next one next one I want to test the water resistance see if Apple improved that in any way and actually dig into it and see what's going on inside to get a concrete result but alright hope you guys enjoyed it
