The following day happens to be the Apple Press Conference. As the vast majority focus on the big announcements about the new iPhone 7, I found my interest fell on the AirPods system (and the fact that Apple continues to boldly move away from old technology like the 3.5-mm analog jack), more so than anything else during the Live stream presentation.
- Features:
- Wireless connectivity with other Apple devices*
- 5 hours of battery life on 1 charger
- Built-in W1 chip to manage battery life and mic/audio quality
- A carrying case that double as charging station (more than 24hr battery life and 15 mins quick charge capability)
- Price (CDN) : $219.00
Both items, similar in functionality and features. It is hard not to compare the two.
With the W1 Chip to manage audio quality and a slightly longer battery life. The Apple Airpods most definitely pack more of a punch in terms of technology in such small package. But of course, that also mean a much higher price point, and quite possibility one of the highest price of its class.
In comparison, the TruWireless Earbuds is much more device-friendly with the built in Bluetooth system. Also, by having the mic and audio control on the device will provide a level of hands-on convenience to some.
