hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and these are the air pots they've been out
for a couple years now and I've used them at least three or four times every
week in listening to music phone calls and a few other things we'll talk more
about that in a moment and I wanted to talk about how they've
held up in how the battery is over over those couple of years now I don't know
if you can see the case the case is pretty heavily scratched it reminds me
of the iPod nanos that scratch pretty easily and that's just kind of what
happens with white polycarbonate plastic now the inside is pretty nice nice and
clean for the most part some of these I've seen are really dirty but it is
stained on the outside and I can't get that stain out I don't know what it is
these normally just sit in my backpack and maybe it's just some dye from the
color of the backpack I don't really know but you can't get this color off no
matter what I do now let's open this up and take a look at the air pods as well
and you'll see that the case itself is pretty clean I do clean it from time to
time so I definitely recommend doing that and then the air pods themself you
definitely need to clean these as well they've held up well I haven't had any
separation from a swelling battery or anything like that and the air pods
themselves have held up pretty well I do clean this out from time to time and I
usually use the sim card removal tool to do that it seems to be a good way to
clean that and then just kind of blow on it with some compressed air but they've
held up well as far as being durable I still find them pretty comfortable and
super convenient now normally when I'm using these I'm using them listening to
music I don't make a whole lot of phone calls or the thing I use them the most
with is the Apple TV and if you're not familiar with that and you have an Apple
TV you can go into the sound settings and pair these and just use them so if
maybe you're you're listening to either music on the Apple TV or you want to
watch a movie and the house needs to be quiet maybe you have people sleeping
this is a great way to do that and so I use that all the time and I noticed
about a few months back that I wasn't really getting that much life out of
them so I thought I'd do a test and I ran that test last night and I started
at 9 p.m. and they were at 98% at 9 p.m. now I was using them with my iPhone just
listening to music and it may 8% they were fine and then 9:25 so 25
minutes later they were down to 75% and then at 11 p.m. two hours later they
were down to 17 percent and then I got that low battery noise at 11:13 and then
they finally just completely disconnected from my iPhone at 11:36 so
2 hours and 36 minutes later they were completely dead now when they were new
Apple says they're good for about 5 hours of music and I found that to be
true but they definitely don't last any more they do say if you're using them
for phone calls using the microphone as well you'll only get about 2 hours but I
find most of the time using music I only get a couple hours out of them now and I
can get through a movie and that's about it now the case itself will still hold
about 3 charges or so maybe 4 but most of the time about 3 it will charge the
the air pods up and there shouldn't be an issue there but I do have some issues
with them and this is something I noticed again a few months back and I
don't know if it's because of the battery degrading or not so when they're
connected to anything else they work fine but when I connect them to my
macbook my macbook they disconnect all the time now I have some beats solo that
I've used as well and those seem to work fine with my MacBook it's just these so
when I'm using these connected directly to my macbook that's only a couple feet
that way they just disconnect and they'll
disconnect reconnect and they stutter a lot and it's it's difficult to use them
because if you're listening to music it just breaks up all the time there's some
interference or something I'm not sure what's going on there but if I use them
with my iPhone or my Apple TV or iPad I have no problems whatsoever so I'm not
sure what that's about now my suggestion to Apple would be if they do come out
with air pods to make them sound a little bit better and also just make the
bottom screw off and put the battery in here so that after a few years we can
buy some new batteries and not have to throw these away
and lately that's kind of anti what Apple's doing Mason mostly their
products are not as serviceable except for the iPhone but I'd love to see these
service will just screw off the bottom put a nice little chrome ring here they
screw off or place batteries and from back on and you've got some extra
batteries with you or maybe they could just make a little slot where they fit
in here and you can pull those extra extended batteries out that would be
something I definitely welcome but other than that with air pods to maybe some
other colors to match the different phones and a longer battery life would
be welcome maybe eight hours or ten hours they don't get through a normal
working day but let me know your experience in the comments below if you
have air pods do you still think they're worth buying
I definitely think they are I just would like them to last longer than a couple
years but I guess Apple wants you to buy a new pair every year or two like their
iPhones I'm not really sure but I really do like them and I use them often but
