There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The product comes with a wire charger and a case. Seems to have long lasting battery life (at the time this review is listed... We all know how Apple is 💀).
Overall, I love this product. The noise cancellation works perfectly, the transparency mode works very well, & high-fidelity audio is better than any other Apple AirPods product to date.
My only complaint is the material used on the over-ear part sounds horrible when they rub against each other. If you have sensory issues to fabrics touching/rubbing, I wouldn't suggest this pair... However, to me, it is worth it.
There is no traditional headphone jack on the the thing, and it doesn't look like there's even a way to connect it with an adapter, which is unfortunate and should be a dealbreaker if you need that. I just need the Bluetooth, though, and the supported BT 5.0 sounds fine to my ears.
There is an option to help locate the phones with Find My, though it will only show where they were last connected to your phone, and it even allows you to play a locator noise through the speakers, so you can hear them in a relatively quiet space from about 8 feet away. What would really have been cool is if they incorporated an AirTag in their design, because at about $500, I live with the uncomfortable possibility of them being stolen if I turn my back.
In short, they are comfortable, they are expensive, they sound great, but if you want skull-rattling bass, there are better options. They'll work with any Bluetooth-enabled source, though you'll probably only feel their full value if you intend to use them with Apple products, and if I do ever lose them, I'll be ordering a new pair the next day.
(Added 7/31)
About a month ago, I started hearing some weird distortion, then one day, six months from purchase, they just refused to sync. I don’t know exactly what the cause was, but I do wear them in hot summer weather and was surprised to find that some sweat can build up behind the ear cushions, so maybe that’s the culprit? I dunno. They’re the only Apple product I have with the AppleCare+ coverage, and replacement was quick and painless, so I consider that money well spent.
Anyway, nobody said these things were waterproof, which is why I was so careful with them. I still wear them outdoors, but now I pull the ear cushions off every few hours to see if any water has built up inside the cups. Gross.
I also toss them in a baby bottle sterilizer at the end of the day. Nobody should have to deal with manky earmuffs!
These look to be modular - it should possible to separately replace the headband or either ear unit using a SIM card tool - so it's slightly reparable by Apple as they don't sell those parts separately. I worry about how the head band will age or get dirty with time or if the fabric frays (it hasn't), and it looks like it can be replaced if needed. Replacement fabric ear pads are sold by apple if they get grungy but pricey.
Battery life seems very long, and they charge quickly. The case is weird looking, but works well enough in my laptop bag. Materials and construction feel are top notch, these headphones feel and look very premium, though I'm not a huge fan of their color selection and the look of the ear units (too rectangular and too much like an apple watch). I would love for them to eventually sell these in more/better colors, and to even permit mix-match of different colors for the ear units and headband or even sell them separately. I also worry that apple will discontinue or alter these so that in the future it won't be possible to replace or repair parts. I have an old headphone set from another company, and I've replaced the cord and pads on that a few times over the years. I think with these it would be nice if battery, pads, and headband could be replaced for years into the future, but I doubt that that will be the case. I'm still OK with it given how much I like these headphones.

Calidad de material: la mejor! En serio la mejor. En comparación con Bose la posicionaría en #2 y Sony #3, pero si son mucho mejor en calidad estos.
Audio: diría que si, los mejor así mismo en comparación con la competencia pero es cierto, les falta un poco de base & muy poquito más de volumen. Pero se escuchan muy bien aún así.
Yo escucho de todo, pero ciertamente me enfoco más al EDM y si les falta un poco de base, pero no se escuchan mal. En demás géneros son claros, son fuertes, se escucha muy bien.
Con el Spatial audio son perfectos, pero no planeo describirlos por qué hosta mente tienen que ir a escuchar que esto para los que no saben qué es, vayan a un Ishop y pruébenlos o Apple Store los que tienen opsotunidad
Dolly Audio que es recientemente nuevo en apple mucis si se escucha el cambio. Recomendado
Active Noise Cancellation: la mejor de todos los audífonos en mi opinión, muy de cerca con los Sony.
Soy médico, y me sirven bastante para leer y aún sin música, la cancelación de ruido es excelente. Ahora con un poco de audio de lluvia, piano, de concentración o demás son aún perfectos.
Si se te calientan las orejas después de 1 hora, pero actualmente vivo en un lugar frío y no me molesta o ya me acostumbre.
Con ecosistema apple son perfectos, poder cambiar de dispositivo a dispositivo & el modo de transparencia es perfecto para escuchar a los demás pero tengan en cuando que con ese modo si noto una reducción en la calidad de música.
