[Music] hi everybody today we got some new
AirPods these are the new third generation AirPods apple just announced
them last week they're already being shipped it's very hard to talk about
them because you guys can't hear you know what the AirPods sound like it's
very anecdotal and it's just you watching me saying they're the best thing ever
so i decided to make the unboxing a bit interesting i went ahead
and got them personalized with my name on them compared to the first generation
AirPods these are the first generations i've had since 2018 and I haven't
upgraded at all not only can we do a bit of comparison but if you want to engrave
the AirPods yourself you can kind of get an idea of what it will look like the
packaging looks very simple you just peel it off like that also one at the
bottom and very simply oh just designed by Apple in California we move
this away and already you see the new AirPods in their case and you can
actually already see my new engraving oh that's amazing i never got anything from
Apple with engravings on it before this is my first engraved item I
really really like it that is the engraving there we got a bear we have my
name with a hyphen and we have a dog at the end so these are super cool so let's
just go ahead and take the plastic off of them
[Music]
this is a size comparison between the first AirPods and the brand new ones uh
a bit wider but a bit shorter as you can kind of see when they're side by side of
each other so let's open up the AirPods and as you can see inside we have some
AirPods oh there's a pulsing white light now compared to the green one it
looks like although that might be just for first setup
and this is what an AirPod looks like oh the stem is definitely shorter than the
last ones oh and they face inwards rather than
outwards usually they kind of be facing like that in the
charging case but they're facing inwards now and that's
what they look like open side by side you can kind of get an idea and the
stems are obviously shorter on new ones also included in the box is a new
lightning cable to charge the AirPods and these ones i believe have USB C on
the other end which about time so at least there's USB C
so all that's left to do is actually try them on and put them in my ear
oh these are bigger
these are my first impressions my real first impressions
these feel bigger and these are one of the few that fit
okay-ish i mean they used to fall out from time to time but they were pretty
good compared to most other headphones these are bigger and these are what they
look like in my ear you know what they do fit pretty well i was a bit afraid
because they are bigger i mean they're staying in
that's interesting the fit might be better i was quite worried because usually when
something's bigger it typically won't fit as well
oh these fit better i must look crazy just shaking my head on camera but
you know when you have like AirPods and you do a bunch of ridiculous things i
wonder because the stem is smaller is the balance of them better because
there's more weight in the actual earbud compared to the
stem will that help it stay in your ear better compared to the older ones maybe
quite possibly that's a great theory so the three features i'm looking forward
to testing at most on the AirPods is the wireless charging they have both MagSafe
and wireless charging built in you do not have to pay extra for the
wireless case second thing is I believe they were introduced with
AirPods too but i obviously have AirPods 1 so i didn't have the feature but
there's more buttons on the actual AirPods so now you can actually also
pause and play as well as go forward and back on the song but i never had a
button to go backwards if i really want to listen to the song again but because
with the new AirPods there's more motion controls on it you can actually
pause and then both go forward and backwards and i believe there's even
another spare button so i'm really excited to try that out.
The third feature i'm really looking forward to though is handoff. Being able for the
AirPods to know when you're on your phone versus when you're on your ipad or
you're on your macbook i've been using the AirPods for a few hours now
and as first impressions go they're quite good my favourite feature is hand-off
once I go from my iPhone to my mac computer it just pops up
immediately "do i connect your AirPods" and they connect instantaneously
comparison with AirPods 1 what i'd have to do is turn the bluetooth off on
my iPhone turn the bluetooth on my Mac and then you know just manually connect
them and if you didn't turn off bluetooth or turn on bluetooth and they
were connected to the other device it was a big mess so it was always a hassle
going between devices it does seem to be much quicker with the new AirPods
as for sound quality yes they do sound much better than AirPods 1.
Obviously AirPods 1 was apple's first attempt now a comparison is hard because i never
used AirPods 2 or AirPods pro but AirPods 3 do sound better so if you are
going from AirPods 1 the difference is pretty big they're louder much louder
i always thought maybe i just had bad hearing but knowing the AirPods the
first ones aren't that loud particularly maybe over time they get a bit quieter
these ones are very loud a lot more bass so things like drums and you know
something billy eilish for example it was a much more base there it sounds great
as for spatial audio, it's mixed not because it's bad it's actually quite good but i
was out walking with it and it kind of gave me vertigo and i'm not a vertigo
sufferer but because it does sound like surround sound i was out walking and the
music it was just a weird experience it was like having
like a jukebox you're holding in your arm you're getting like a surround sound
noise so maybe on like on a bus or if you're commuting or sitting down spatial
audio be good but i'm not i'm not sure if i'm going to keep using it when i'm
out walking because it just get a really like weird effect but spatial audio
does sound amazing it does sound like surround sound it's not true surround
sound obviously but it sounds pretty good. So it's low light
the windy and i'm testing the new microphone on this new AirPods
let's see what this sounds like so there's wind in the background
it's dark I'm out walking late at night. That was an unboxing and a first look
