Maybe if you're listening to virgin pure FLAC music and you're really paying attention to audio reproduction with sole intention to spot a diffeence. With MP3's it's the same f*king damn thing. If we'd done A/B test using MP3 music, 90% (if not more) of people wouldn't be able to tell a difference. Everyone saying otherwise are pretentious audiophile wannabes. Sorry, but they just are. Also if anyone paid any attention before attacking me with nonsense, I didn't even say AirPods 2 are the best there is. They just aren't anywhere near as bad as everyone are trying to portray them here. For earbuds that don't use silicone tips that you shove into your ear canal, they reproduce very good sound. But hey, if you still want to deny that, well I don't give a damn. I'll just enjoy them and you do your whatever you want to use.

      Must have tested hundreds of TWS from cheap to expensive.
      Wireless earbuds below 250$ have extremely lame sound quality compared to wired earphones.

      Any 30$-40$ wired earphones are better than AirPods or some other wireless crap.

      Wireless earphones/earbuds are for convenience, not sound quality.

        Somehow as an iPhone user I understand what Apple does with its products, if you’re not an and I think it’s the same for every other iPhone user, that’s why they continue to sell more yearly it wouldn’t make any sense if you don’t use it simple and when you finally do which I’m 100% certain most of you will if money was not an issue, you’d remember all the years you spent bashing Apple and say to yourself, I must have looked like a clown🤡😂😂

Flossy Carter has a massive amount more experience with wireless earbuds than you, and he doesn't like AirPods.

          So once again, disprove Flossy Carter.

                Woohoo, 23 Feb 2021Sorry, but you can't demand or put forth your wishes. ... moreDemand, no. But I hate how entire market just entirely shifted to these silicone tipped earbuds. I know sealing ear canal improves bass and noise blocking, but I bet there is still a huge number of people who just prefer the regular earbuds that don't seal perfectly. I just don't like anything shoved inside my ears. But given the trends, I'll be forced to use this nonsense apparently. I was hoping it won't happen and I could just happily stick with normal AirPods, but if Apple will also turn regular ones into silicon tipped version, then I'll have to look for something else. But that always sux when you don't know if those work this well. There are billions of no name TWS ones on AliExpress that claim all sorts of things and all basically have made up specs and few from brands like Honor or Realme. And that's about it. And this is annoying. I'm well aware that all I can do is protest this, but ultimately, what people buy the most will decide the design for future.

I use them exclusively on Windows 10 laptops and desktops and they are great. I can even use tap commands in MusicBee music player. The wired Sennheiser and AKG earphones that I had all sounded great on MP3 players like Creative Zen, but when plugged into soundcards like Sound Blaster AE-5, a 150€ soundcard, they all sounded like trash and they just couldn't handle any bass as it always just turned into distorted garbage. AirPods can.

                      [deleted post]Dude, I literally compared them to 70€ wired earphones and explained they sound way better despite being wireless, particularly with bass. Yet you somehow know it better by just "hearing things from others" than me who's telling from actual experience. And you jokers do the same with verything Apple here. You're all so god damn loud yet you all have frigging ZERO actual experience with any of the products. Yes, you're all parroting BS. Coz that's what parrots do. Just repeat what they heard. Hilarious "special" class of people.

Meanwhile I explained why they are actually great with comparisons and actual experience? They don't even bother argumenting why. Coz they have no clue as they never even used them. Yes, they are parroting BS.

                          Now this is the design I want

                              AirPods are the best wireless earphones for iDevices period.

                              Auto switching, good battery life, decent sound and decent mic. Plug it into your ears and forget its even there. While you move between your devices, it moves with you.

                              It's a product that people are willing to pay premium for it.

                              But that's ok for people who critic it here badly here.. comparing to some other earbuds. Because in real life out there, tons of people are using it, that's what truly counts.

                                AnonD-804996, 23 Feb 2021Parroting BS also exists as evident right here...Yes, put down my argument that disproves yours as "BS" rather than disproving it. Sure shows how right you are. Just keep ignoring it. See how far ignoring things you don't like gets you.

Like 90% of people here on GSM Arena. Everyone being the biggest smarta** about everything without actually trying s**t. I love your confidence of trash talking about something you have absolutely ZERO experience with just because you "heard" about it and now you're the biggest expert on that matter. Do you see me trash talking about Skullcandy? No, coz I haven't tried them. I just said AirPods 2 were the best I tried so far and I compared them to Sennheiser and AKG that I also actually used myself and generally happen to be a byword for quality audio equipment. Spot the frigging difference? You generic Apple haters are such a joke.

                                        AnonD-804996, 22 Feb 2021People keep repeating this nonsense. Have you actually used... moreOh yes I've totally purchased $150 earbuds. No, I use Skullcandy Crusher Wirelesses. Worth the $100 I spent on them. I bet you can't say the same for your trash earbuds. Honestly, why would you ever pay more than $80 for earbuds.
