Apple AirPods 2 review: even more wireless

Apple’s AirPods 2 look and sound very familiar to the first-gen version, but the biggest change is the ability to wirelessly charge the case. The wireless charging case uses the Qi standard — just like the iPhone and countless Android phones on the market — so you can use the same charging pad as your phone to charge your AirPods case. Another important change – the new H1 chip that replaces the W1 chip of the first model and enables hands-free Siri access.

Why no one talks about the sound quality on airpods, how the low, highs and mids perform, in every review they dont talk about it.

With everyone laughing at the S10 being able to wirelessly charge stuff like your airpods, Becca on The Verge made an excellent point that while travelling it's invaluable as you only need one charger and USB-C cable to charge your phone and your earphones at the same time.

I actually never wait for Siri to respond when I call hey Siri. I just say for example: Hey Siri remind me to buy milk when I pass the supermarket.

it works every time and I never have to wait for the ding.

"Never not hilarious" isn't towards the wireless charging mechanism of the S10, but the fact that Apple doesnt have it and Samsung is actually supporting an apple product

Props for still listening to MCR, my dude.

Another protip: non-sealing headphones are gentler on your ears compared to the type that prevents air circulation in the ear canal. So a little worse sound quality means longer ear lifespan :)

I was using airpods 1 for 2 years, i just switched to airpods 2 and this is the first video iv watched using them. The sound seems much louder on the new ones.

The title should be “AirPods (2nd Gen)”. But you already knew that.

I got the AirPods 2 with the wireless charging case & I really like them a lot. I just wish that Apple will give them more touchpad controls through a software update if possible. It should only require a single tap to play/pause the song, & we should give a volume slider touchpad gesture option so we slide our finger up or down to increase or decrease the volume. And the same thing for next or previous track. Slide or swipe up for the next track, & slide or swipe down for the previous track. And fast forward could be a double tap & hold while rewind would be a triple tap & hold. That would make them truly a lot more innovative & advanced

AirPods 3: "Blocks out all broke sounds(people who aren't wearing AirPods, Gucci, Gold Rolex watch, etc.)

They connect to my devices much faster than before. It used to get confused between my watch and my phone. Now it connects to what I want when I want

Apple is still sticking with this old 5w charger.. Is very bad...

[sruler]

I might get them just for battery life. I have been on work calls when I get the beep my charge is about out and I’m scrambling to find my backup oair

[benjaminwoodman]

I’m really glad Hey Siri is a thing. Now I can put skip back/also rewind, and skip track on the other.

[exergetic]

The one thing I wish you covered is that if they're also the 'best wireless headphones' for exercising? I'm not really aware if they're sweat proof or if they can stay in ears without falling out during intense exercise. Otherwise, great video as usual

[PatrickFungsca]

Stand style charger...charge the case upside down. Works for me. :)

[matgaming]

Siri says “Hmmm?” When you say hey Siri.

Apple: We present you the Air...
The Verge: *Splat* oh...

[justal]

Apple is literally the only company who can get away with this.
