Apple AirPods official version evaluation: the fastest Bluetooth pairing in history is successful once and forever

Although it has been dragged for more than a month, AirPods went on sale before the two important festivals of Christmas and Spring Festival, and it is said that the pre-sale was sold out on the first day. It can be seen that the price of 1288 yuan is not a problem.

I got the beta version of AirPods after the press conference, and I got the official version before the domestic sale. The ears have been grinding for a full three months. I have a say in this X artifact, especially the improvement of the official version. I heard immediately that if you have n’t started yet, do n’t worry about placing an order and seeing my experience.

Why is it forced to be taller, and why is it not worn? On the one hand, because there is no cable, you often overlook that it is already worn on the ear; on the other hand, it is also very light and soft, and there is no discomfort to wear Sense, so even if you run for a long time, listen to songs, and watch movies, you will not be uncomfortable.

In addition, it is not as easy to fall off as some people think. I tried wearing it to eat, run, and sleep. Apart from being sucked a few big mouths, I think it is difficult to fall out of the ears-of course, This is just my feeling, after all, everyone's ears are different.

EarPods previously reportedly took hundreds of people's eardrums to study styling. AirPods is estimated to have made a lot of little-known efforts in this regard. This is Apple's strength. Because the AirPods material is particularly soft, so although you will sweat a lot when you exercise, your ears are very dry, unlike some rubber headphones that are particularly airtight.

AirPods really make people think that the value of more than 1,000 dollars is worth the "black technology" of this gadget. As long as the lid of the storage box is opened, and it is close to the iPhone, it will automatically connect and pair. All operations are completed in one step, which is called the fastest Bluetooth pairing in history. (For products that do not support W1 chip quick pairing, there is a pairing button on the back of the storage box, which can also be paired by long pressing)

When pairing, iCloud authorization is actually performed. All devices logged in with the iCloud account will be automatically connected to this headset. In short, one pairing and multiple sharing.

The most important thing is stability. After listening to the beta version for 3 months, you will find that the pairing is "invalid". It is obvious that you have been pairing for a long time, but one day you turn on the Bluetooth of the iPhone and suddenly want to listen to the song, but found that The two can't be connected, even if you go to the Bluetooth settings to manually connect, you have to delete it and try again, you can't even achieve automatic pairing, you still need to press the small button on the back of the box. During my use of the beta version, this problem occurred frequently, and I was annoyed once.

But after getting the official version, this problem is completely gone. Once paired, it is permanently valid. Whenever you turn on Bluetooth (my habit is to turn off Bluetooth to save power when you do n’t listen to songs), you can quickly connect, and the speed of the first automatic pairing is very fast. Open the lid here, and a prompt will pop up on the iPhone over there This speed is also optimized compared to before. Therefore, I think AirPods will be postponed for sale in January. This wait is worth it. At least in terms of pairing speed and connection stability, it has been greatly improved.

When you take it out of the storage box with the adsorption device, you will find that this thing is very delicate, the right suction force guarantees that a pair of headphones will not slide out, I tried it, even if it is reversed, the headphones are not It will fall out, showing the great suction power. The charging contact is located at the microphone position at the root of the headset. The metal contacts inside the box are difficult to detect; at the same time, there is a charging indicator in the box to tell you that the headset is charging or the storage box itself needs to be charged. Apple's details I really don't have to say.

Although AirPods have only 5 hours of continuous use, because you will definitely carry a storage box with you, you can just put it back and charge it. The official statement is to charge it for 15 minutes and use it for 3 hours. My test is close to this statement. Besides, when it is not used, it is basically stored in the box (not afraid of losing it), so it must be fully charged when taken out, so I have never worried about the use time of AirPods.

However, perhaps after receiving feedback from everyone, Apple has launched a single purchase service on the US official website. It is estimated that in the future, trading platforms such as Xbao Xyu will also require individual sellers to sell a single headset. It is not possible to say not to lose, but I think this is a problem of usage habits. If you just put this habit at hand, then I think the possibility of losing the whole box is relatively high.

At the press conference, when Apple introduced AirPods, it emphasized that it has a gravity Sensor, so the key operation is not needed. Instead, you can double-click the AirPods body to start Siri, answer the phone or pause the song (mobile phone ’s Bluetooth menu There are options for customization). Note that AirPods only have a double-tap gesture. It ’s easy to remember when it ’s better. It ’s too monotonous when it ’s broken. It does n’t even have a function to adjust the volume. Obviously, it lacks consideration.

But what's really cool is that when you take off the headphones, the music playback will automatically pause. This is an experience that the previous Bluetooth headsets can't provide. Although lightweight Bluetooth headsets like AirPods can be found on the market, as long as If you have used AirPods, you no longer want to use other ones.

This function is realized by a device similar to the infrared sensor in the ear part of the fuselage. As long as this part is blocked, the playback state will be switched. For example, if you take off the AirPods, the song playback is paused; then block this part with your hand and continue Played. This is not a problem in itself, it is simple, effective and energy-saving, which is better than the experience of a physical key switch.

And the stability of the official version in this respect is also better than the previous test version, basically there will be no scene misjudgment, and the sensitivity of the infrared sensor has also been improved.

Another point is that although AirPods are small, they use call noise reduction technology. There is a sound pickup hole on the top of the headset to detect background noise. Then, through the reverse superposition technology, the noise from the microphone at the bottom of the headset is canceled out. . I tried several times to let the other party talk to me with AirPods, the effect is quite good, similar to wind noise, environmental noise, decoration noise and other low-frequency and high-frequency noise can be filtered, but for the mid-frequency close to human voice Noise is powerless, because the intermediate frequency itself is the vocal range, and filtering this is equivalent to filtering vocals.

The last point to say is the long-term experience of listening to songs, which is limited by the physical characteristics of the Bluetooth connection. During the trial of the beta version, it often happens intermittently, especially when the iPhone is placed in the trouser pocket, sometimes even interrupted It's been half a minute long and it's impossible to listen to the song. This bad situation no longer exists in the official version. The stability of the Bluetooth connection is close to that of the wired headset. No matter whether walking or running, the sustainability of the music is no problem.

Do n’t expect too much from the sound effects of AirPods. It basically maintains the style of EarPods which is always boiled water. It will not be too effective to listen to any music with it. The only thing that is outstanding is that the mid-frequency vocals are relatively clear, but the bass performance is like a dragonfly. But, do n’t blame Apple. In the iPod era, they do n’t have the so-called “sound dyeing”, so if you are used to EarPods, then AirPods have no reason to be picky.

I do n’t deny that AirPods changed my habit of using Bluetooth headsets-there is no key to switch on, just put it on your ear and use it directly, put it in the recycling box if you do n’t want to listen, no switch, no need to worry about charging, feeling On the road to killing third-party parts manufacturers, Apple is getting stronger.

For iPhone 7/7 + users, the headset with Lightning interface may not be particularly cool to use. Switching the interface back to the old 3.5mm headset will also force obsessive-compulsive disorder, so AirPods is a wireless option. And its real benefit is that your iPad, Mac, MacBook Pro, Apple Watch, and a series of other Apple devices can be connected to AirPods, thereby achieving wireless entertainment in multiple scenarios.
