Merivu I am going to say windows Linux and android are objectively better but credit were credit is due there optimization is phenomenal there phones should not run the way they do and there new iMac coming out with Vega and an Intel xeon is selling at a amazing price and let's be happy the new iPad has a 120hz 1440p display, they are not as bad as they used to be I don't want them to die I want them to crash I want to people to understand how limited their devices are because Apple can truly make great things and if they needed to they would innovate very far
good point, I guess this is still more of a surprise since it's more of an expensive product that works over bluetooth, but yeah my comment still is invalid whoops
Yonas Getu well just like any Apple keyboard, mouse, Magic Mouse magic keyboard Magic Trackpad and many other accessories. But only Apple haters like to imagine that it's overpriced and non compatible
Firstly usb 3.1 isn't apple's idea nor were they the first to implement it. Secondly, itunes has to be available on windows to prop up the iphone's individual limited functionality.
Where are the links to these so called "statistics." Bill Gates is wealthy and intelligent and uses Android www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/technology-41399823
Definitely not unbiased he rarely applauses apple for anything not saying he should be “nice” just saying you can tell from any apple video he has, he doesn’t care for the company as much as he does others we’re all human and are entitled to our own opinions
Aero Phoenix if you think that's weird Mary used to be a manly mans name heels used to be for men and the manliest color used to be pink cause it was the color your shirt would be after washing blood off it
That was a really honest review. I'm not a apple user but I can't stand the "android masterrace" and "apple sucks" mentality. Just review the product like any others like Linus did. Great job. I will, however, not buy this product.
Well said. I prefer Apple, but Android is a good company, when it comes down to it, jut use what ever makes you happy. I for one love my iPhone 7 and my AirPods, are they overpriced yeah, but I had the money and I knew I would like them so, why not? Both Apple and Android are great companies with their own pros and cons. Neither one is quote "better than the other". People give me a lot of hate for using AirPods and I do not know why they have to stoop to such a low level. If you do not like AirPods, do not get AirPods, simple as that.
Hey, would you guys be interested in checking out the Cougar QBX itx case? It seems like the sort of thing Linus might like, and I'd really like to hear your thoughts
So let's sum up: -expensive -less functionality than similar products -either they fit or they don't (no changeable tips) -mediocre sound quality -bad battery life -high chance of getting lost +apple logo, so they are amazing. 10/10
XxTheImonxX That's a great counter argument you've got there, but can you please explain what you mean by bullshit. Because at the moment it just seems like you hate anyone who says something bad against Apple, but don't actually know why you like this product
+clouds5 -expensive? no they are up to half the price of the competition. Retail is $160 -less functionality? really, what else do wireless headphones do apart from playing music -bad battery life? 5 hours is good, better than most of the competition -high chance of getting lost? how is that different from the competition
Ross B2 They aren't half the price at all. The Jaybird X3's cost $130, and the Samsung IconX's are $200. More functionality would be having commands on the device itself, rather than using shitty voice commands and needing an Internet connection to do it. Also, most other wireless earphones have wingtips on them, which keep them in your ear rather than relying on them fitting perfectly. Also, other headphones have earbuds rather than being hard plastic, making them more comfortable and keeping them in better
Ross B2 5 hours battery life is really, really bad. you can afford great music equipment for the same price. if you are okay with on ear headsets instead of in ear buds you could get akg y50bt for roughly the same price. sick sound, 20 hours battery life. and did i mention, sick sound. used to have in ear bluetooth headset before, they lasted a lot longer. many people use headphones for far longer than 5 hours.
I used to be an apple user in '13, then i took a samsung to the knee. I couldn't afford the surgery to get it removed because I just bought the newest apple device so i had to learn to live with the samsung. Every year it gave me more options and increased it's processing speed until the lines between phone and tablet were blurred. Today that samsung evolved into a Note9. I never looked back to apple after that fateful day, when i took a samsung to the knee
I actually got mine due to your suggestion about a year ago and they are great - I actually have a few pairs! Would highly recommend to others who have the cash available.
This is a great review. I didn't realise about that volume adjustment limitation. That is a deal breaker for me. Awful! I used some airpods for the first time last week and they're better than expected sound wise but nothing extraordinary. Overrated. Good, but overrated.
what's happening to the tone of your videos Linus? are you guys trying to mature to appeal to a wider advertiser audience now that some of your money making avenues have been detoured? if so when you get your ghetto vessel running on your website will the videos be back to having more freedom in tone and subject matter?
We are experimenting. This particular experiment was inspired by the huge number of people who said they preferred the lower pitch in the Razer Blade Pro video (which was a forced change because I had almost entirely lost my voice from being sick) - LS
LinusTechTips got to be honest. you just sound depressed and uninterested :/ thought you just didn't want to do an apple review before I read your comment :/
Apple is a joke a this point, but in their defense, design books like those are usually around the same price range, and I highly doubt they had the average consumer in mind when they released it, more like design schools n'stuff.
Well over a year later into my ownership of AirPods, I'm completely satisfied and still use these things every single day. I've never been happier with a product.
it was removed because wireless is the future. you aren't required to use only apple products, its just the way of the future and apple has always been about moving forward.
Captain Wiggles I don't use any apple products at all, they're overpriced pieces of garbage. Wireless doesn't work as reliably as cabled electronics does.
I absolutely hate you Linus. I'm a network engineer and computer/tech enthusiast, but my RUclips autoplay locked on to your videos when I fell asleep one night.. Now all I get is your shaved unibrow, squeaky voice talking about graphics cards and water cooling every time I don't manually bash my laptop over my face.
One of the things I like about these is the fact that you get wireless headphones, combined with the comfortable design of Apple's newest earbud models. I mean you really gotta give it to Apple. Their newest earbud design is really comfortable.
Everyone saying they're overpriced... THEY'RE NOT! They have technology in them that no other earphones of this kind have so their price is actually pretty good.
Qwello but personally I couldn't care less that the music pauses when I remove an earbud. I really just want comfort, sound isolation, and sound quality. Of course that wouldn't stop my Apple fan boy roommate from buying these because they're, "revolutionary and luxurious" Pshh
kalef1234 But we're talking price here, they're not that expensive when compared to others. If you want better sound quality, you wouldn't buy wireless earbuds in the first place, nor would you buy earbuds at all, you'd buy headphones. My point is that people are saying that it's overpriced garbage when it's not overpriced compared to others and they offer more features than just standard bluetooth earbuds with the W1 chip, charging case etc. If Samsung were to do the same thing a year later, people would say how amazing it is.
You mean useless gimmicks that makes it a worse product like having to use Siri to voice control so you need internet access. It really is overpriced garbage, the only thing apple is good at is advertisement.
silverword111 I'm guessing you're having a hard time reading my comment, it's not overpriced when comparing to wireless earphones from other companies, but maybe the industry of wireless earphones are overpriced in general. But then it wouldn't only be Apple that's overpriced, all companies are at it then. Personally for what you get I don't think they're that expensive and yes I own many audio products.
Linus but You didn't point out that they only come with a USB charging cable not a lighting cable. So you can't change them on a crappy new Macbook Pro without a dongle..... Great work Apple.
Got them and love them...the practicality and freedom is something else. I love how you can speak advance/rewind xx seconds and Podcasts will do just that.
I have them and in my opinion they're ridiculously useful and really worth it, especially as an iOS user. Since this video has been made you can have more options for double tapping (e.g. double tap right to skip track and double tap lefy to play/pause). i am also a heavy user and they have ran out once or twice in the 6 months of having them, thanks to the 5 hour battery in the earphones themselves and the 24 hour battery in the case. and even when they did run out they charged back up in a matter of minutes so no worries there. while i do miss the inline controls, its a small price to pay for no wires and such a sleek design. i hope I've helped someone out there.
You'd have to pay over $200 for a pair of true wireless Android earbuds with the same functionality, bulkier case, and less easy to use, haven't heard anyone calling them garbage. The next time you're trying to hate, make it less obvious, it makes you sound fucking stupid.
Nyarukosan787 lol no you wouldn't you could get better sounding bluetooth earbuds and use them on a android phone that supports atpx high fidelity bluetooth format. Not a shitty apple phone, 160$ is not a fair price by any stretch.
Can't really see what you did there. The commercial (and therefore the meme) is about one thing preventing you from doing another task. I don't see how loosing an airpod hinders playing the game.
I never got why you can't use Siri without being connected to the internet, especially since Siri doesn't need it. There have been plenty of times where i've been out of data (but still had 4G on), or connected to wifi that had no internet connection, and used siri to "call home" or "turn on low power mode" just fine. It makes things annoying when I turn off data to save battery life but all of a sudden can't turn it back on with Siri, and have to navigate through the menus
The wired Apple earbuds sound great for 30 bucks, I use them on my Note 5. They are like disposable nice quality buds to me, fits perfectly in my ear, good sound and bass and if my dog chew a set it's only $30.
OLBastholm Even the $25 Xiaomi set doesn't cut it for me. There's a $9 Apple buds clone on Amazon with 5/5 rating from 100+ customers that sound better than the "expensive" Xiaomi". But fit is important, so if you like them good for you.
Apple lover here Bought a apple watch One week later couldn't find a use for them, felt stupid Went to the store asked for my money back Got the airpods, paired them, hit play and.. Holly jesus, Im so happy Loved them!
tbf you can't really 'steal' them without taking the white thing that will be in the victims pocket. 3 separate objects to take in three different locations. Harder imo.
wow. i liked how your voice got all smooth and calm. but no matter how your voice sounds like or is. the info is straight and foward. just how we like it. thanks a lot bro.
Introducing the latest apple product: iCup. Rather than use a touch screen and international calling, or anything beyond 20 feet for that matter, we went with what we decided was best. And thats putting an apple logo on two cups and adding a string in between because you suckers will buy anything. Plus, its funny to spell and our intern laughs everytime someone spells its name. so please, make our intern laugh, because we dont pay him and he lives in the janitors closet because its the only thing he can afford to rent.
To those of you that think you need internet access to edit things like the volume, that's a lie, Linus just doesn't use the iPhone enough to understand you can disable Siri in the lock screen to be able to use voice control without internet.
I just picked a pair up at Best Buy and the sound quality is okay, definitely not for anyone who wants good sound. The reason to get these would be for convenience and comfort. I will keep them for the convenience and not for the sound quality. Honest review from someone who just bought them.
You’re not stupid brother. Not just because some big youtuber or random netizen don’t like Airpods, doesn’t mean you’re stupid enough to want that purchase. Check out iPhonedo’s review for a real and detailed audiophile perspective.
i got the airpods about a month ago and they've been through some updates which i makes them a lot more useable. for one, the settings now allow a double tap for skip forward or backwards - i have my left pod set to pause and my right pod set to skip backwards - and although im not sure, battery life seems to be a lot better now than what is shown in this video.
Linus, your comments about the one bud in ear are misinformed unless you're constantly switching between one and two earphones (which is weird, don't). No reason to turn that setting off, just only take one out of the case and you're getting mono audio-this is one of the reasons I'm considering getting these.
I really want some super low key, even flesh-colored bt ear buds. So I could listen to music at work without anybody noticing from far away. Or disguise that shit as a hearing aid, I can just pretend to be disabled. Worth it
I mean, this isn't really an audiophile perspective at all, the earpods in general are shit if you're looking at them from that perspective. This is just another review on the tech inside. You barely outlined how they actually sound (garbage) and just focused on the useless voice commands and bluetooth function.
You're distorting his words. For one, he is an audiophile, so the title is still correct. And what more did you want him to say about sound quality? He mentioned everything. Also, never did he say they sounded like garbage. Keep your biased crap to yourself.
My own personal headphones I use are the sennheiser PXC 550. They are personally the best headphones I’ve ever used. I can’t stand hard shell earphones like the EarPods. They irritate my ears within second. And painfully so. The pxc 550 headphones though are around ear headphones, and feature all audio controls with a touch pad on the right ear cup. While it takes a moment to get used to, the touch controls work perfectly for swiping up and down for volume, swipe forward and back for skipping tracks. (Swipe back mid song restarts the track, swiping back within 2-3 seconds of the start of the track skips to the previous track) and then taping for pause, play, and phone call. Double tapping stops the music and starts the audio play back to hear surroundings. So you can talk to someone without having to take them off. Which I use a lot. Lastly, paring on android phones, if your phone has NFC, these headphones support that. Tap NFC active phone to the left hear cup and instantly pairs,
Set speed to 1.25 so he sounds like normal again
Miku Ivalice thank you
Thanks
HOLY SHIT HE DOES
Haha
Thanks
Clear, straightforward, non-biased, informative review. The level of quality one expects from Linus. Keep this up dude, we need people like you.
Merivu I actually admire that. I hate Apple actually but other reviewers should give an unbiased opinion before ranting.
P.S. Apple is shit
Why do you hate Apple? It's just a brand, don't like it don't buy it?
Merivu this video was unbiased but normally other apple reviews are baisef towards non apple... there are much better options
John Sexton
But mostly biased against Apple nowadays. Fair reviewers like Linus are a rare breed. I respect him.
Merivu I am going to say windows Linux and android are objectively better but credit were credit is due there optimization is phenomenal there phones should not run the way they do and there new iMac coming out with Vega and an Intel xeon is selling at a amazing price and let's be happy the new iPad has a 120hz 1440p display, they are not as bad as they used to be I don't want them to die I want them to crash I want to people to understand how limited their devices are because Apple can truly make great things and if they needed to they would innovate very far
did Linus's voice deepen just for Christmas
He's becoming a man now..
When he opened his floss container and it said "Linus's" I almost died.
Linus'*
He slowed the video to 0.75, injected testosterone, or he's just sick hehe.
He usually has testicle ring on(=his usual voice), but his wife removed it for two weeks as a Christmas present(=deeper voice).
2018 went through 3 phases
Tide Pods
Juul Pods

Soulja pods

What happened to his voice? It actually sounds deeper and less childish now lol

wait wait wait, an Apple Product that works natively with non Apple products? Woah
Yonas Getu
the earpods did
good point, I guess this is still more of a surprise since it's more of an expensive product that works over bluetooth, but yeah my comment still is invalid whoops
Yonas Getu well just like any Apple keyboard, mouse, Magic Mouse magic keyboard Magic Trackpad and many other accessories. But only Apple haters like to imagine that it's overpriced and non compatible
Apple stuff that is universal
All their headphones
Supposedly the idea for USB 3.1
iTunes
Most OS interfaces (apparently)
...that's it?
Firstly usb 3.1 isn't apple's idea nor were they the first to implement it. Secondly, itunes has to be available on windows to prop up the iphone's individual limited functionality.
Nah Linus, back to the normal voice, This felt slow after hearing you for some years now, it just feels, weird.
phraze and if he speaks fast all the crackdroids will understand him
oooh.. fail
Was that supposed to be a diss?
I love that people bash apple users as being stupid, when statistics show apple users are better educated and wealthier than android users. oh well...
Where are the links to these so called "statistics." Bill Gates is wealthy and intelligent and uses Android

Bose, JBL, Sony and Sennheiser all cost more than the Apple Airpods.
Cliff Gamer he meant that his intro was funny technically
i really dont think this was an "audiophile perspective review" more like an "average person who likes music" review, but nonetheless good review
ur full of shit you don't know
THEPCGAMINGKING64 do YOU know anything about hi-fi audio?
Amen to this fact. I listened to these a few weeks ago, and “bleh”.
Even my budget JBL headphones blew them away.

Zaber Ansary Yes there is a video where they pimped it and painted it.
Yea
Zaber Ansary yes, check channel super fun for the prank where they paint the car.
Always nice seeing an unbiased apple product review.
yes
Yeah actually I'm an apple sheep and I own air pods and everything that he said was correct
Irfaan Faki how he showed the pros and cons
Definitely not unbiased he rarely applauses apple for anything not saying he should be “nice” just saying you can tell from any apple video he has, he doesn’t care for the company as much as he does others we’re all human and are entitled to our own opinions
Andrew valencia that doesn’t mean that applies to every review he does, idiot
It's laughable that you need an internet connection simply to turn up the volume with siri

You need internet to listen to music anyways

when apple can sell a book to its customers, that shows exactly what they think of them

that was a book with pictures barely worth 300
Well over a year later into my ownership of AirPods, I'm completely satisfied and still use these things every single day. I've never been happier with a product.
So are these the reason they didn't put in a headphone jack on the iphone 7? To sell you shitty overpriced wireless earbuds?
They removed the headphone jack to make the phone slimmer.
Meet Tilavat no, dimensions are the same as the 6s
it was removed because wireless is the future. you aren't required to use only apple products, its just the way of the future and apple has always been about moving forward.
That's a joke right?
Captain Wiggles I don't use any apple products at all, they're overpriced pieces of garbage. Wireless doesn't work as reliably as cabled electronics does.

silverword111 I'm guessing you're having a hard time reading my comment, it's not overpriced when comparing to wireless earphones from other companies, but maybe the industry of wireless earphones are overpriced in general. But then it wouldn't only be Apple that's overpriced, all companies are at it then. Personally for what you get I don't think they're that expensive and yes I own many audio products.
hope we see the surface studio review soon also keep your old voice
+jack-1 been sick.. - LS
jack-1 15 MINUTES AGO?! REALLY?! HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE??
LinusTechTips
Hope you get well soon.
people get the link early on his site iirc
LinusTechTips get better soon =)
Linus but You didn't point out that they only come with a USB charging cable not a lighting cable. So you can't change them on a crappy new Macbook Pro without a dongle..... Great work Apple.
Mikes DIY Tesla Powerwall They do come with a USB A to Lightning Cable. They do not come with a USB C to Lightning Cable.
He didn't mention that because he made a video about headphones, not about the Macbook
Mikes DIY Tesla Powerwall it comes with a USB to lightning charging cable....
bryan thornburg Because that's super minamilistic! So practical! Thanks Apple!
RebuffedSalmon it charges the case that charges the airpods, id say thats pretty minimalistic
Got them and love them...the practicality and freedom is something else. I love how you can speak advance/rewind xx seconds and Podcasts will do just that.
I start the video, something catches the earphone chord and pulls them out of my ears and the phone out of my hand. Ironic
I have them and in my opinion they're ridiculously useful and really worth it, especially as an iOS user. Since this video has been made you can have more options for double tapping (e.g. double tap right to skip track and double tap lefy to play/pause). i am also a heavy user and they have ran out once or twice in the 6 months of having them, thanks to the 5 hour battery in the earphones themselves and the 24 hour battery in the case. and even when they did run out they charged back up in a matter of minutes so no worries there. while i do miss the inline controls, its a small price to pay for no wires and such a sleek design.
i hope I've helped someone out there.
airpods are $159 not $300 you got scammed my dude
KatScan they were all sold out and he wanted to get them immediately
They were hard to get at the time of the review plus Canadian exchange rate $1CAD = .81US
I would pay 30$ for a pair, they are garbage.
You'd have to pay over $200 for a pair of true wireless Android earbuds with the same functionality, bulkier case, and less easy to use, haven't heard anyone calling them garbage. The next time you're trying to hate, make it less obvious, it makes you sound fucking stupid.
Nyarukosan787 lol no you wouldn't you could get better sounding bluetooth earbuds and use them on a android phone that supports atpx high fidelity bluetooth format. Not a shitty apple phone, 160$ is not a fair price by any stretch.
I just picked up a pair yesterday. Works as i would expected, and could not be happier with my purchases.
I'm supposed to be playing game of war, but I lost one of my airpod.
See what I did there?
Teamtsto lamest joke ever
did a player kick your ass?
Omg....Airpod27!?
Can't really see what you did there.
The commercial (and therefore the meme) is about one thing preventing you from doing another task. I don't see how loosing an airpod hinders playing the game.
I never got why you can't use Siri without being connected to the internet, especially since Siri doesn't need it. There have been plenty of times where i've been out of data (but still had 4G on), or connected to wifi that had no internet connection, and used siri to "call home" or "turn on low power mode" just fine. It makes things annoying when I turn off data to save battery life but all of a sudden can't turn it back on with Siri, and have to navigate through the menus
he has a surface studio? lol :D
probably uses it to design his thumbnails :D
:D
I love watching Linus paint his thumbnails!
Hey, if he's gonna buy overpriced Apple crap, why not also buy overpriced Microsoft crap? :D
DJ RS Well my apple crap looks crappier than his Microsoft crap
Wow, looking back at this video feels so... ancient
So cursed to see without beard
The wired Apple earbuds sound great for 30 bucks, I use them on my Note 5. They are like disposable nice quality buds to me, fits perfectly in my ear, good sound and bass and if my dog chew a set it's only $30.
Brawndo I use $5 dollar Xiaomi headphones that sound and especially fit way better.
OLBastholm I use a 1 dollar earphone that has lasted me so far 3 weeks lol pretty good sound low bass sadly
OLBastholm Even the $25 Xiaomi set doesn't cut it for me. There's a $9 Apple buds clone on Amazon with 5/5 rating from 100+ customers that sound better than the "expensive" Xiaomi". But fit is important, so if you like them good for you.
Brawndo what the heck $30?!?! I buy genuine Apple ear buds from my local City Mac for $9
Brawndo 30 dollars is ridiculous for disposable earbuds
bring back the chihuahua voice, please
Linus... You ok buddy?
sounded Heavily scripted almost like he was reading from cue cards as to not piss anyone off, this is a product i'm going o skip.
If you don't think all these reviews are scripted, I don't know what to say
All of his reviews are 100% scripted, not sure what you mean there
lol... Every review is heavily scripted what are you on about? xDD
, like he actually hates this item yet can't say anything bad because advertisers will black mark his channel
Apple lover here
Bought a apple watch
One week later couldn't find a use for them, felt stupid
Went to the store asked for my money back
Got the airpods, paired them, hit play and..
Holly jesus, Im so happy
Loved them!
Well, those are easier to steal than normal cable headphones!
tbf you can't really 'steal' them without taking the white thing that will be in the victims pocket. 3 separate objects to take in three different locations. Harder imo.
No they're not? Wth
kamekiwi ur disgusting if u steal earphones. it's gross, someone else has put them in their ears
datstocklyfe I know XD, but there's people who does steal them and later sell them.
kamekiwi good point
Is it just me or does Linus not seem to have as much energy in his voice? Alright there buddy?
He has to review Apple products, man. 😢
I'm literally using them right now
wow. i liked how your voice got all smooth and calm. but no matter how your voice sounds like or is. the info is straight and foward. just how we like it. thanks a lot bro.
1:46 wtf?! He still speaks the language of the plebs whilst wearing airpods?
Introducing the latest apple product: iCup. Rather than use a touch screen and international calling, or anything beyond 20 feet for that matter, we went with what we decided was best. And thats putting an apple logo on two cups and adding a string in between because you suckers will buy anything. Plus, its funny to spell and our intern laughs everytime someone spells its name. so please, make our intern laugh, because we dont pay him and he lives in the janitors closet because its the only thing he can afford to rent.
**Listening this on my airpods**
Jip Tomassen **that u got for christmas**
BrOkE
is the latency of the audio and his lips noticable?
Skrrt Yep, and nothing’s wrong with that.
Jomm.-. No airpods have very very little latency
You can choose AirPods in the audio volume menu bar, it just takes a second to show up sometimes. No need to enable the BT menu!
I have Air
I have Pods.
ugh
...
Does not worth it
Cringe af
Exynos FTW lmao nailed it
i have wallet
i have apple
No Wallet!
Is this a reference to the PPAP song?
N.R 2000 hours
2:53 surface studio? will you do a review for it?
To those of you that think you need internet access to edit things like the volume, that's a lie, Linus just doesn't use the iPhone enough to understand you can disable Siri in the lock screen to be able to use voice control without internet.
Siri doesn’t work without internet at all.
USE VOICE CONTROL
I just picked a pair up at Best Buy and the sound quality is okay, definitely not for anyone who wants good sound. The reason to get these would be for convenience and comfort. I will keep them for the convenience and not for the sound quality. Honest review from someone who just bought them.
Where is the audiophile perspective in this video?
"Are they as good as my daily drivers? Don't be ridiculous" (or something similarly summarised to that effect towards the end of the video)
None. Eaten by clickbait I guess.
Linus - "Don't be stupid"
Me- 🥺😩
(Just got a pair today)
Watch the review before you get a shitty overpriced wireless toothbrush head looking headphones
I got some about a month ago, for 50 dollars
You’re not stupid brother. Not just because some big youtuber or random netizen don’t like Airpods, doesn’t mean you’re stupid enough to want that purchase. Check out iPhonedo’s review for a real and detailed audiophile perspective.
F the Airpod, was there a surface studio 😎??? 2:55
i got the airpods about a month ago and they've been through some updates which i makes them a lot more useable. for one, the settings now allow a double tap for skip forward or backwards - i have my left pod set to pause and my right pod set to skip backwards - and although im not sure, battery life seems to be a lot better now than what is shown in this video.
Personally as a WAV I don't approve, but that's just one audio files perspective
Wow. you're really giving this guy a lot of FLAC for this
You must spend too much time OGGling your magnum OPUS playback device of choice.
2016 : nah
2017: nah
2018:nah
2019 : okay we should put this in his recommended
Basel Billeh Same 😂😂
Linus, your comments about the one bud in ear are misinformed unless you're constantly switching between one and two earphones (which is weird, don't).
No reason to turn that setting off, just only take one out of the case and you're getting mono audio-this is one of the reasons I'm considering getting these.
+jwbrobst it's not weird at all to switch between 1 and 2 earbuds. I do it many many times per day. - LS
jwbrobst It's your money too waste
jwbrobst I pull one of my earbuds out constantly all day as well. Why is Apple apologist's standard response that the user is using them wrong?
jwbrobst taking one earbud out while talking or doing something else is weird but just using one earbud only for "mono" is not weird? lol iSheep
LinusTechTips ah, so that is why you came to that after all. Valid complaint.
I remember when airpods where being scalped who would hace thought 4 years later they’re less than 80$
Just bought some AirPods! They are awesome! Totally recommend!
oh my gosh linus’s voice sounds so monotone compared to his more recent videos
I'm sorry, why did you pay $300?
Ethan Roy some people just like getting fucked in the ass
Max Antoniak But you can get AirPods for $160US
The technology isn't there yet IMO. Not worth ur time or money
He paid 300$ because they were sold out and he got them from someone who took advantage of that
+Max Antoniak this is the best response
I've been using Airpods 1 for 2 ish years with my Galaxy S10. I can't live without them.
Battery still good?
@@maromorostar6621 Yep, can't tell the % without a third party busted ass app but they still last and I wear em like 8 hours a day
Try galaxy buds
I really want some super low key, even flesh-colored bt ear buds. So I could listen to music at work without anybody noticing from far away.
Or disguise that shit as a hearing aid, I can just pretend to be disabled. Worth it
The "Puberty Linus" has to go. I like the high-pitched nerd Linus.
Mark Himmler there's something almost iconic about his voice
Lnus now went through reverse puberty
One of the best reviews I've ever seen. Very clear and straight to the point.
1:52 Wrong? Does they not have IR-proximity sensors to determine if they are in your ears or not? :)
I don't know "Does they?"
I mean, this isn't really an audiophile perspective at all, the earpods in general are shit if you're looking at them from that perspective. This is just another review on the tech inside. You barely outlined how they actually sound (garbage) and just focused on the useless voice commands and bluetooth function.
You're distorting his words. For one, he is an audiophile, so the title is still correct. And what more did you want him to say about sound quality? He mentioned everything. Also, never did he say they sounded like garbage.
Keep your biased crap to yourself.
Why can’t you hear me Linus?
He doesn’t speak broke buddy
YOU HAVE SOME VERY GOOD VIDEOS OUT.I APPRECIATE THAT
So Linus conveniently became an audiophile just for this video?
He's always been a pretty big audiophile
2:43 - 2:53 is that a Surface Studio...?
I sure hope not.
They're working on a Surface Studio review, so yes, it probably is.
ThaVrisco what's wrong with a surface studio?
Precast Dragon It doesn't fly.
yup
Do you really drive a pink car?
It's his Lambo! isn't it awesome?
looks like you are new to the channel
dark666105 I knew windows useres are weird.
Was a prank
Linus sounds like someone who I could just sit down and listen to anything they say and still be interested somehow
Yappy chihuahua is way better than bored/sick voice
What happen if u drop one side by accident by running and u didn't realize
you are fucked and need to buy a new pair because you cant connect a new one
$69 for one
Ashton Lim you realize it because the music stops
well i guess you should realize when one drops xd
Either they stop playing music if you have that feature enabled or simply you loose audio in one ear, so, you should realize there
Why didn't you review the 1more triple driver in ear headphones?
My own personal headphones I use are the sennheiser PXC 550. They are personally the best headphones I’ve ever used. I can’t stand hard shell earphones like the EarPods. They irritate my ears within second. And painfully so. The pxc 550 headphones though are around ear headphones, and feature all audio controls with a touch pad on the right ear cup. While it takes a moment to get used to, the touch controls work perfectly for swiping up and down for volume, swipe forward and back for skipping tracks. (Swipe back mid song restarts the track, swiping back within 2-3 seconds of the start of the track skips to the previous track) and then taping for pause, play, and phone call. Double tapping stops the music and starts the audio play back to hear surroundings. So you can talk to someone without having to take them off. Which I use a lot.
Lastly, paring on android phones, if your phone has NFC, these headphones support that. Tap NFC active phone to the left hear cup and instantly pairs,
Spoiler microsoft surface studio review incoming
They cost $320 in AU xD
uhhhh, do you mean $229?
Vanquish96X oh yeh. Still very expensive though. Would just get m50x
Teemo4Life You can buy am entirely new phone for the price of them over here. Eg. Something like a Redmi note 3.
that xD intensified that price
iFixit: "Throwaway product" rating: 0/10 :D
bring back the chihuahua voice
Linus, just be you. Your regular voice is just fine. It's your personality that makes you the King of Edutainment.
