Want to buy Apple AirPods headphones? You need to know these first

Apple's wireless earphones AirPods have been on sale recently. If you have purchased this product that represents Apple's latest cutting-edge technology, you must have some questions while waiting for it to arrive. So while waiting, let's take a look at some common questions that need to be answered. (Note: This article is from Jason Snell. The following are some of his experiences after trying AirPods)

Do AirPods fit the same as Apple's standard EarPods? Because EarPods can easily fall out of your ears. The main body of the AirPods seems to be the same shape and size as the wired EarPods (the stem is a bit bigger and thicker because it has to accommodate all the electronics and parts). So if the EarPods fit your ears, the AirPods should fit too. The biggest difference is that the AirPods are wireless, so you don't feel the tug of the wires that would pull on your ears and even move the earphones out of place. Compared to wearing EarPods, AirPods are a different feeling, and the wires don't get in your way. EarPods are not as secure and often fall out of your ears. AirPods, on the other hand, will not fall out even if you shake your head a lot. The only time one earbud fell out was when I took off my hoodie and the hood caught on one of the earbuds. For the most part, the AirPods fit tightly in my ears. Is there a way to stop AirPods from automatically playing music when you put them on? This is a misunderstanding of how AirPods work. When you connect/disconnect, they are actually simulating the working environment of wired headphones and iOS devices. If your iPhone is playing audio when you connect and pair, the audio will start playing on the headphones. If you are not playing audio on the iPhone, the AirPods will not play anything. Similarly, when you remove the AirPods from your ears or connect them to a different device, the audio will stop playing, just like if you unplug a headphone from the device. The one exception is how AirPods handle the situation where you temporarily remove a headphone. When you remove a headphone for a short period of time, the device audio will be temporarily paused. When you put it back on, the device audio will resume playing. In this case, removing a headphone is actually a command - the equivalent of pressing the play/pause button. Can you use a single headphone? Will it work fully? Many runners have asked this question because they want the battery of AirPods to last longer (AirPods have a battery life of 5 hours, how long do you want to run?). The answer is yes, if you use a single AirPods, it will work fine, and your iPhone will switch to a mono mix mode so that you can hear stereo sound from both sides. This also means that you can run with one earphone, leaving the other ear empty and paying attention to the surrounding environment while running. Will it be painful to wear it for a long time? Many people also asked about the comfort of AirPods. In fact, this question is difficult to answer because everyone's ear shape is different. When you wear AirPods for the first time, your ears may hurt a little, but you won't feel this after re-adjusting the position because you need to find the right way and position for your ears. However, if you don't like in-ear headphones, you won't like AirPods either. Although it is a wireless headset, it is still in-ear after all. What happens when you double-tap either earphone? By default, double-tapping either earphone will evoke Siri-iOS and Mac. But you can change the settings of iOS to make this gesture an play/pause button. You can go to the Bluetooth menu in Settings, tap the information button next to AirPods, and then select Play/Pause from the menu. In this menu, you can also turn off the "ear detection" feature, so that when your AirPods are put on or taken off, the device will not react. If you pair AirPods to other Bluetooth-compatible devices that are not specifically adapted for AirPods, such as Android phones, AirPods will also work. At this time, tapping either earphone gesture will act as a play/pause button. Where can I buy it now? AirPods have landed on Apple's official website earlier this week. Due to the tight supply in the early stage, users who place orders now need to wait 6 weeks for delivery. In addition, starting next week, AirPods will also be available in Apple's official retail stores in various places. Of course, whether you can buy it depends on your "good luck". Of course, you can also buy it from some third-party channels, but considering the scarcity of supply, the price of AirPods that are about to enter the market may be very high. Smart "scalpers" will naturally not miss this opportunity to drive up the price. It is reported that some merchants have already shouted out a high price of $2,000. Consumers also need to be careful when buying AirPods from third-party merchants, and never buy fake knockoffs. AirPods are available in more than 100 countries and regions, including Australia, Canada, China, Hong Kong, France, Germany, India, Mexico, the Netherlands, Japan, the UAE, the UK and the US.
