Phones are a huge part of our lives, and what is a phone`s most important accessory? Headphones. There are many types o headphones such as on ear, with cable and bluetooth. The audio industry over the past years has been making huge steps in removing cables and having all devices through bluetooth or NFC There are many companies dedicated only in sound such as Bose or Jaybird, they produce great headphones such as the X4 and the Soundsport 3. Still, the best wireless headphones in the market are Apple’s Airpods.

The Airpods, came out in 2016 when the iphone 7 was launched to the market. This was a very innovative and controversial year for Apple as they introduced this headphones but also removed the headphone jack in the iPhones.

For iPhone users, the Airpods bring huge advantages. Each headphones, comes with a sensor that can be used for shortcuts. You can customize this shortcuts by choosing whether you want to play/pause the song, go back/forward, or even talk to Siri. This could be seen as a disadvantage in comparison to other headphones for Android user, but, Apple is the only company that implemented this sensor shortcuts in the headphones themselves.

According to many users worldwide, the Jabra wireless earbuds are the best because of their sound. The average user for these wireless headphones is not a sound engineer and won’t notice the sound difference between the Airpods and the Jabra earbuds. The difference is so small that can’t be noticed by the human ear, it can only differ when its put on special tests to compare the sounds.

Another huge advantage these headphones have is the connectivity, with only wearing the earbuds, they automatically connect. Some companies such as Jarbird don’t offer this feature. For example, you can’t use Jaybirds left headphone alone, you either use both or they don’t work, this is something that doesn’t happen with Apple, you can use either alone and they will perfectly work.

For most people, design is one of the most important things. Apple really worked on this. The Airpods unlike other wireless headphones, look great on people when in use, they are small and have a perfect fit in your ear. For example, the Bose Soundsport, have a cable that goes around the back of your head connecting both earbuds, this makes the headphones look not as good as the Airpods.

Battery is also a very important aspect for this type of accessories. Most of this headphones have battery problems and need to be charged frequently. The Airpods are different, with about 30 minutes of charge every 4-5 days, the Airpods will be perfectly charged.

It could be said that the Airpods are very expensive and not affordable, but compared to other bluetooth headphones, the are very cheap. For example Samsung Gear IconX and Bragi Dash can cost up to $200Airpods cost $149.99 (589.900 pesos), and Apples quality is much better. For some buyers, Apple might have been rough with the prices, and a better option would be to look over to other companies such as Bose. Still, Bose Soundsport 3 cost $139.99 (559.900 pesos) and the Airpods quality is much better. For ten dollars, you can choose between having some good bluetooth headphones or having the best.

Definitely from all the earbud companies and wireless headphones, Apple Airpods, are best because of their quality, battery, innovative technology and design.
