    Convenient and cheap
    I ordered these 2nd Generation Apple Airpods over 6 months ago. To this day, they are in perfect working condition, nearly the same way I received them. Upon trying out the sound quality of them, using a single one sounds wonky for being a product of Apple. Using both of them makes the quality sound a bit better, but still is questionable. It also would have been a much better product if there was full noise cancellation.The Bluetooth functionalities are a bit tricky to me especially since if you are connected to your phone, connecting to another device such as your laptop, is time consuming and complex. Some cool features of these Apple Airpods are it's voice controlling functionality, can use through phone calls, double tap to skip, and if you have an Apple Watch, it works as a tiny remote for the volume. You also do not have much of a say when they come with a lightning speed charger. It's a double win if the device charges quickly and the device has a life of 5 hours without the need of a charger. For the value of this product, the effectiveness is fair.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Reliable and good sound
    Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2024
    Set: Without AppleCare+Verified Purchase
    Have had this set for almost 4 years. Usually get 2-3 years from a set before one of the pods starts loosing significant battery capacity and can’t get thru a meeting.seems pretty reasonable given the small batteries and heavy usage over several years.

    Ordering another set today to replace these and will be happy with another couple years use. They work every time, sound good, have no connection issues.

    Recently thought I’d branch out and try the lower price point Anker p40 and the a40. Both sets had issues, failed connections, poor sound quality variably and the one set eventually stayed phone connected even when in the case and out of range. Just didn’t work reliably for day to day work uses.

    Really wanted to like the ankers, but so far nothing works as well as the Apple air pods. Also have had some Apple gen3s which were great, but since I can’t tell a difference, will stick with the cheaper gen2 sets.

    Best value choice for me, especially when on sale for under $90. I like the full but natural sound, not too much bass or treble. Minimal latency from wireless connection. Does a good job with automatic switching between Apple devices. I even like the original longer stems because easier to handle. I also prefer earbuds that do NOT block out and “cancel” external noise, for safety reasons, and no irritating rubber tips. I’m sure Pro version sounds a bit better and have a few extra features, but these old-school AirPods are much less expensive and work great for my needs.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Short Lifecycle
    Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2024
    Set: Without AppleCare+Verified Purchase
    Bought my first pair Oct 2022. it is april 2024 (17 months of use) I honestly love them. They're great. Good battery life for a busy mom. make it through plane rides, a day of work etc. I bought a pink case so they're easy to find and more durable. Yesterday, suddenly, they stopped pairing. they charge fine, but are completely undiscoverable by any device, apple, non-apple, phone, pc, etc. after doing my own troubleshooting i reached out to support and did their trouble shooting who then sent me to a repair location. without Applecare, this would cost $19 for them to diagnose the issue then depending on what was broken, possibly $80+ to replace the part(s). I was told if it was one earbud that would be 80ish EACH and another 80 if the issue was the charging case. I bought these for $89... so it's just not economical.

    I will be repurchasing them. The tech at the repair store said an 18-24 month lifecycle is typically the max he sees for this product. I was considering applecare+ which is $30 for 2 years... however, the cost to replace a lost AirPod or the Charging Case is typically around $89 each without AppleCare+. With AppleCare+, accidental damage repairs, including replacements, are priced at $29 per incident. This fee applies to either the AirPods or the case. so 30+29=$59 and that's only if one piece is broken... not both or all three. i will not be purchasing Applecare for these airpods. I will keep the broken ones however, since the case charges fine, it will be nice to have that extra one just in case.

    I’ve used newer generation AirPods, and these are good for if I’m on a budget.

    Because of the cost I was able to gift these to my girlfriend who never had AirPods at absolutely loves these.

    There are plenty of things that you can do while wearing the AirPods including answer the call, hang up and even mute, so it’s great that these have a lot of different features. Other simply don’t

    I do like how they fit in your ear and personally I’ve had these before as well and they do stay put pretty well

    I will say that when my girlfriend is wearing the AirPods and we’re speaking on the phone that her voice and the sound is lower than if she was on speaker even though my volume is up all the way she sometimes still comes in at a lower volume.

    I will say that it’s super convenient to have a chargeable case where you can charge the AirPods without having to plug anything in and then charge the case either with or without the AirPods as needed.

    These are good quality and I know because I’ve owned them and use them that they lasted for me at least Few years

    I bought them here since they were cheaper than at the Apple Store and it was a good decision. They have a battery life that will last for several days and they have good sound quality. The only con would be the noise cancellation since they don't really have it.
