Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Apple AirPods 3 – Unboxing & Review!”.
What’S going on guys, it’s your average consumer and the airpods 3 are finally here. This is the third generation of airpods. Today we’re going to be going over everything, you need to know what apple changed, what they’ve added what new features! It has all that good stuff, but first, let’s talk about what you get inside of the box, and this is apple guys. So it’s a pretty standard unboxing experience once you pop it open you’ll, of course be greeted by some paperwork. You got your quick start guide. Warranty information all that stuff you’re, probably not going to read, but once you get past that you get those airpods in hand, but not so quick underneath that you’ve got your charging cable, it’s lightning to usb type-c, but we’re done with the boring stuff.
Let’S take a look at the airpods themselves and, as you can see, right off the bat. This case is very very similar to that of the airpods. Pro they’ve got an almost identical design and once you pop the case, open you’ll see that the airpods inside almost look exactly like the airpods pro. Of course, though, there are no in-ear tips. So for those of you folks who don’t like to have those tips in their ears, these are gon na, be the experience you’re looking for, but now, let’s take a closer look at them to see if they’re legit.
So here they are you guys the redesigned airpods. This is the third generation, the second generation pretty much looked exactly the same as the first uh, but they had a couple of new features: wireless charging case that kind of stuff, but this is a completely new design. They have a lot of the features that we saw with the airpods pro. So if you like, the idea of the airpods pro, but you didn’t like those little ear tips uh, these are definitely for you. You get a lot of those cool features that the airpods pro offer, but now in a design that works better for you now, what’s actually different with these compared to the previous version right well, first off the stem is a lot shorter, now, 33 shorter, to be Exact, so they took about a third off of it, and this makes it a little bit more low-key, just like with the airpods pro uh.
So that’s a good thing. You don’t have that long stem. If you weren’t a fan of it. I think a lot of people got over it over time, but either way it is now shorter, but with this new stem, since it is similar to the air pods pro, you also have that force sensor. So now this force sensor, when you want to control your music, all you have to do is give the stem a little squeeze.
You can squeeze it to play double tap or double squeeze to move forward, a track triple tap, triple squeeze to go back, and you know you know the controls by now. Now this is a cool addition, because the previous versions, you had to double tap, and that was like the only real option you had in terms of controls. You could go into the settings and change what that double tap did, but this you don’t need to do all that. You’Ve got all the controls with that force sensor and, of course, you can activate siri by either holding down the force sensor or even just saying now.
Let’S talk about this design, i’m one of those people who really relied on the airpods pro having those in-ear tips because it made it a lot easier for the airpods to stay in my ears. I don’t know about you guys, but i was of the camp uh with the original airpods, where they wouldn’t sit in my ear. Well, i’ve got some funky ears, as you guys can see. The part that of my ear, that would hold the airpods in kind of goes downward, whereas carl has like the perfect ear for air pods made for it. As you can see, his goes upward. So it’s got that little area right here that just it just holds it perfectly so airpods pro personally, that’s what i have to rely on.
I need to use in earbuds um, but for the most part, if you’ve got you’ve got those nice ears, those perfect ears, then you’ll be all right. I feel like. I should hold this down, because i do have the perfect gears. You know carl you’re a sneaky one. Now, obviously, everybody’s ear shape is going to be different right, but thankfully the airpods has this pretty cool feature called adaptive eq these actually have a built-in microphone that is essentially there to listen to what you’re listening to so it picks up the audio the way your Ears are picking up the audio and with that adaptive eq, it will automatically remember that these can possibly produce. Did that make sense, carl you get that so carl just told me. That was a lot of information, so basically the dummy version, the average consumer version like what i’m supposed to be doing, is that these will automatically hear what you’re hearing and make sure you’re getting the best audio quality that these can produce with me, because you lost Me last night, you you keep me on my toes carl. You keep me grounded it’s getting too nerdy over here now in terms of some other cool features that you’re gon na get out of these earbuds is, of course, spatial audio you’ve probably been hearing that a lot, basically with spatial audio, let’s say you’re watching content. This thing is going to use the accelerometer, the gyroscope, all that good stuff, all the tech inside of here, and it’s basically going to allow you to like move your head and it’s basically like you’re in a sound bubble. Audio, that’s coming from here will keep coming from here, no matter how i turn my head.
So that’s a pretty cool feature uh. It’S definitely something you guys should experience if you haven’t yet it’s not one of those features. That’S like oh got. Ta buy these earbuds for spatial audio, but when you try it out, it’s pretty cool now these have a really cool feature that i want to see come to the airpods pro and that’s a skin detect optical sensor. What does that mean right? Basically, you know when you take out your earbuds and your music automatically pauses, but like let’s say you put them in your pocket really quickly, you got to go. Do something you’ll notice that your music is playing or something is playing or you’re picking up calls, while it’s in your pocket and you’re like where’s, the audio going to that it sucks right.
Well, apple has done something great here and made this able to detect when it’s actually touching your skin versus just being in your pocket, so it uses this optical sensor to avoid getting too technical again, you guys, basically, it’s going to be able to read whether or Not it’s in your ear or maybe in your hands versus just like thrown in your pocket, so check this out right, so we’ve got audio playing right. Take it out, it pauses hold it in my hand, it plays skin. Now i throw it in my pocket. Still paused, that’s amazing, you guys and that’s gon na save battery as well.
Now, let’s talk about the battery. These have gone from a five hour rating to a six hour rating. So now it will last you an hour longer and you get an extra charge. Basically, with the case, so you get a total of 30 hours instead of the 24 that we used to see, which is nice always good, to see better battery life.
These have it, and five minutes of charging in the case will give you like an hour of listening time. So that’s always nice um. One thing, that’s really cool about this case, though, is that it now supports magsafe.
So if you want to go ahead and just put this on a magsafe charger or something you’ll be able to do that very nice and simple, i hope they mag safe. All the things. Mag save me how you forget your own.
You were trying to make it a thing and look at you. It never happened. So listen. I get a lot of comments.
Saying magazine, i’m like you guys are you can’t be serious, but something else that’s actually really cool. Is the earbuds are now ipx4 rated, so that means you know that sweat and water resistance. That kind of thing is there, but so is the case. We usually see it from the earbuds, but not the case so now, they’re both offering that kind of protection which is dope, so i can just accidentally drop in the sink.
You definitely don’t want to drop it in the sink uh. It’S pretty much resistant to like water, splashes stuff like that. So if water gets on it, nothing like some like not being submerged or anything like that. You know we’ll splash sprinkles of water. You know nothing crazy, but yeah. Now, if you want to go ahead and work out with these, you can officially do that. But the bigger question is: how do these actually sound? I definitely think these are a step up compared to the previous generation. Apple has some custom drivers inside of here. So these are brand new drivers, apple redesigned the way the acoustics are in these earbuds and they actually sound pretty good. It’S able to produce some pretty solid bass, vocals come in very clearly and they’re actually able to get pretty loud, they’re, not gon na blow out. Your eardrums, or anything like that uh, but they’re, pretty decent in terms of the volume that they produce, i think for everyday people who are picking this up they’ll be pretty happy with the audio quality that they get out of these i’ll, be honest with you guys Me personally, i’m very used to using in-ear tips and the kind of sound that that delivers with the bass and the way it all gets handled with the seal. So i’m more of a fan of those, so airpods pro are more of my thing but, like i said, i know a lot of people out. There hate those kind of earbuds, so this is going to be the best option for you. If you’re looking for air pods now what’s nice about these, is that they’re coming in at 179, which basically replaces the second generation air pods in that price point. But it’s the new model, then this one pretty much comes with the wireless charging case and the new earbuds so 179. For these, which i think is a fair price.
But if you don’t want that they’re still the older air pods, those are going to be going for 129 and of course you know, the airpods pro are at 250.. So this is right in the middle there uh, and i think this is something that a lot of people are going to be picking up, especially around the holiday season. It’S a wrap for these. You guys, i think, a lot of people are gon na buy this, but that about wraps it up for this video guys.
Hopefully you got some insight into the new airpods how they perform if they might be a right fit for you. Let me know what you think of them down below in the comment section: i’m gon na catch you guys in the next one there’s probably going to be another apple video today, so stay tuned for that, but till the next article guys it’s your average consumer peace. All right carl here take it, take it .
