Audiophile: Are AirPods Actually Good?

I use these all the time for phone calls and to listen in noise cancelling modes which hugely helps on the go in the gym and in the downtown area of the city I live in. They are incredible, but when I listen to music I always choose my in ear monitors and headphones/amps/dacs and 2 channel system. I'm a long time Apple user and this particular product is one of Apple's best.

Great video! I also really enjoyed the combination of features and SQ but the non cylindrical shape of the tips caused problems for me (they kept working their way out of my ears). So I’m using an Audeze Maxwell for my wireless convenience listening at home and inexpensive wired IEMs out of the house which isn’t ideal. 100% agreed that no TWS solution I’ve heard is a replacement for “audiophile” critical listening.

If you do the hearing test and use it with media and you use the surround profile with pictures of your ears, it kinda amazing with movies.. but then again…..

Only with the H2 chip

The pro 2s are still some of the more neutral sounding earbuds on the market. A surprising amount of “high end” brands like bowers and Wilkins make SUPER bass heavy wireless earbuds, who are they targeting? Certainly not audiophiles.

I've invested thousands in headphones and the truth is that at this price you can't get anything better than these for the purpose they were made for. Forgetting the versatility of these headphones. I understand that if you don't own an iPhone, you definitely don't want to buy these. I think you'll miss out on a lot if you know how to appreciate this kind of electronics.

True wireless earbuds are literally just e-waste. Outside of a few use cases, there is no reason to opt for them over wired earbuds--they are just trendy. Wired IEMs have some inconveniences like requiring a cable, but TW need to be charged very often if you use them regularly. Plus their batteries are so small that they quickly deteriorate and will not hold a charge well after like a year of regular use. Apple created a problem and suckered people into buying the "solution". They make massive amounts of money off of Air Pods after removing the headphone port.

If by waste you mean the most used audio gear and the future of audio then yes
