Does anyone know if there is any way to check if used AirPods are version 1 or 2 without checking for Hey Siri? Just wondering for future reference.
It’s called “opinion” and everyone is entitled to one, even if it doesn’t please you.
wow, faster pairing. amazing improvement to a function that you only need once(per device).
You know this how? Oh right, you don't.This is not the intended AirPod 2 release. They probably failed to finish the ideal design version. This is just one of the backup prototypes. If you don’t need one right now, wait for the real one to be ready.
Facepalm. No, that means it's faster every time you switch from one device to another.
And anyone who thinks that these things have good sound quality need to put an actual quality headphone in their ears.
All of this “they sound so much better” and “are faster” is nothing more than people trying to justify spending another $200 on a piece of crap product.
I am a sound engineer and there is a good sound and a bad sound. We don't compared sound quality from product using different technology. Now you are comparing a wireless bluetooth ear-phone to an wired headphone. That is not a subjective comparison. That is an ignorance.
Considering the size of the device and also the fact that it is not in-ear style, AirPods have great sound. Second generation sounds better than first one not because the drivers got better but because it uses the faster bluetooth technology. Therefore AirPods can wirelessly deliver wider frequencies now and that is why people with good ear, can definitely feel that deeper and wider range of the sound being transmitted especially in low frequencies.
It is also actually much faster than the first generation if you compare side by side and based on your nonsense comparison and the tone of your words towards people who already using them, I can easily assume that you have never owned an AirPods before.
People don't need to justify why they $200 on a product that has the highest customer satisfaction rate of all of Apple products. They buy 'a piece of crap product' because it sounds great and it is really convenient to use it in many ways.
I am sorry to say but you just made yourself look not only unknowledgeable about the sound at all and like one of those bunch haters who leaves such a comment like this because you cannot afford to buy one.
I just picked up second generation AirPods yesterday and I was impressed by minor changes which did not turn out to be minor and I shared with my colleagues at my recording studio and we all appreciated on better sound.
Thank you for letting us know that I just picked up 'a piece of crap' and me and my colleagues at work actually spent time discussing about it during out work time, and I hope you just keep using an actual quality headphone that you might or might not have.
I’m no sound engineer but I too find the sound quality to be better on the second gen. And it is not earwax or battery of the old one. I literally just bought original AirPods a few weeks ago bc I lost my headphones. Got the 2nd gen and there is a noticeable difference in the sound quality. More detail/fuller/better lows & bass.
Facepalm. No, that means it's faster every time you switch from one device to another.
You know this how? Oh right, you don't.
I actually find the added bass masks detail in loud tracks with a lot of low frequencies. Maybe it’s there, but it’s hard to discern.
They're so identical (aside from the wireless charging capabilities) that I'm seriously tempted to go & return them back to the Apple store.
... and while doing that, I wonder what might happen if I accidentally put my old AirPods case back into the box. Do you really think that the Apple store reps will know? I'm such a sheister; and Tim Cook, if you're reading this, I was kidding. Don't worry; I'm paying maximum dollars as a class 10 apple adict clinger.

As the article states, switching from one device to another is also faster, which has nothing to do with pairing (which is also faster but it’s no big deal since it’s rarely used). Dan didn’t mention the faster device switching in the video, though, he only talked about the faster pairing.Shaved an actual second, once per year. But hey, we can fill the marketing slide with something /s
I must be wired differently cause I still can't talk to an electronic gadget/object. I have yet to say "hey Siri or OK Google". But i'm glad you're happy and digging your earbuds.I must say that I am starting to love the always on hey Siri feature. Walking around, being able dictate commands without having to double-tap my AirPods or take out my phone is starting to seem pretty handy...
