I have tried Airpods at an Apple Store and spend a good 15 minutes listening to various types of music as well as a bit of an audio book. I agree that they sound slightly better than Earpods, but I wouldn’t say that is a “Wow experience” type difference and the fit is exactly the same, think of

Hi Mary, I pretty much agree with Michael. I love the AirPods. They sound just as good as my Bose headphone did. The batteries last for about 5 hours which isn't too bad. My husband also says that he can't hear them much when they are in my ears, so they are pretty quiet for that. Hope this

Hi Mary. I have both the free earpods and the airpods. The sound is somewhat better on the Airpods. I think that due to the W1 chip and their independent battery power. I notice more bass with them. The microphones work very well for calls and conversations but I wouldn't use them for serious

Hello, sorry for my apparent ignorance, but why would you want corresponding letters on a phone keypad? As far as I know, these are announced as part of VoiceOver's "speak hints" facility, so these need to be turned on in order to hear them in the first place. Anything else? Well I don't know,
