all this talk of airpods got me feeling a bit envious and in need of some in-ear bluetooth headphones...but there's no way i'm spending that much! so i've treated myself to a super cheapo set from amazon (even cheaper than the ones dj recommended).
fortunately i've spent a lifetime cultivating a complete lack of interest in, or exposure to, high quality audio, and thus find the usual wired headphones you used to get with an iphone (though no longer in the latest SE model) fine for me. So hopefully if these can sound no worse than those and be comfortable and stay in my lugs, they should do the job.

In the same. I bought two different sets of in ear Bluetooth headphones but then I said fuck it and bought the standard AirPods about a year back and I know they are stupid expensive for what they are but Jesus they are great. The integration, the ease of use, auto detection, battery indicators and a decent battery life (I use them for zoom work meetings, one ear at a time and they last all day).
I’m fully aware they are a first world luxury but I love them.

No hi res audio support seems an oversight especially at that price.

Yeah, generally positive is not good enough; that’s not what you hear about the in-ear AirPods or most of their other stuff.

By this point in my relationship with the brand I’m kinda past reviews and opinions and I’m just here for the build quality and the fact everything works so nicely together. Probably hugely ridiculous but it works for me.

You should try them in your ears, gamechanger.

Nice to hear. If I ever travel again I may get a pair, I just wish they’d change the case.

The shittest of takes -



A good example of the blinkered madness of fanboyism.

If I have this dingus turning up in my YouTube feed after watching his nonsense, I'm going to hold you personally responsible Gurt.

"We've got loads of storage" is a fucking weird argument to make in relation to iPhones (or to be honest phones in general). An iPhone 6s runs the current OS, and comes with a lowest capacity of 16GB.

Seems to me that the main thrust of his argument is actually "Apple Music is shit"

Hello Apple fanboys.

I'm thinking of upgrading from our years and years old iPad Pro.  Am I right in thinking that Apple still only update hardware around October?  I wouldn't want to get something new now only to find they release an update in say April or something.

What do you need Elf? If "all" you need is a great performing iPad for every day use, which is compatible with the latest pencil and keyboards (via smart connector) if you need, then I'd recommend the new Air over the Pro. Just got updated in October, is perfect for remote schooling, bang up to date and a lot cheaper than pro.

Thanks Yoss and Funk. 

Yeah something not too expensive that the kids can also use. Although personally I would LOVE the Pro for the screen size and stuff for movies in bed. It’s cheapest is about a grand? Can’t justify that at all at the moment.

I was being flippant. The Air is a better deal.
