thought people might be interested in experiences using the air pods doing exercise. I will first say The workout with the air pods in my ears was about just over an hour. in total I did the following routine
5 minutes on the rowing machine
15 minutes on the running machine
15 minutes on the spinning bike
10 minutes on the cross training
200 situps to end the workout
As soon as i put in my air pods then connected obviously straight away and the best part about the whole workout was the big reason why i wanted these.
NO FREAKING WIRES
It was great to know that If i so wished i could leave my phone on the side while I went on the running machine without the need of having my big iPhone 7 plus in my pocket banging against my leg as I ran. A big advantage to what I normally had with the wired earbuds.
Connection was perfect through the whole workout. So If I had my iPhone on the side I could walk down to the bottom of the gym to get some water and I continued to listen to my music as If the phone was i my hands. Big positive right there.
I know alot of people may have some concerns about their air pods falling out during workouts. Certainly when you are running. The last thing you want is for your air pod to fall out on the machine which could end up destroying it.
I can report NOT ONCE did I even need to push the air pods into my ear during the whole workout just in case it fell out. The air pods remained in my ears for the full hour of being in the gym.
Even when I was doing some setups at the end I thought surely they could fall out then. Nope.
For those wondering about how much the battery life dropped on the air pods this was the battery drain during the time
Start of the workout
End of the workout
Ignore the times on my iPhone. When i took my air pods out and put them in my ears at about 12:30 they were at 98% so it dropped 19% in about an hour.
Here is a quick summary on the workouts from my apple watch
I get not everybody has an apple watch but wow I'm loving this combo. controlling guy music on my watch an setting up workouts with my air pods is great. Apart from to take a look at any emails or texts I could leave my iPhone in my gym bag and just depend on my apple watch and my air pods.
This is why these air pods are so great. Too many people who are negative about the air pods are seeing just sound. For me this is why the air pods are great. Sure there better sounding devices for wireless but in terms of it just working how you want it to there's no better on the market for me. The sound for workouts is more than good enough as it is for just going for walks and walking into work for example.
The beats solo3 will be great for my in house routine but these are perfect for workouts for my needs and just general walking around town.
I will be using these while heading to town on thursday for a pain of christmas shopping so I will report how they are for this as well but for my first gym workout I can' complain.
Very pleased how it past the test for my workout needs.
