For some products that’s true. Others not so much. The MacBook Air is the quickest, highest quality, longest lasting laptop on the market under $1000. Great value.
Only if you are a blind apple hater…. If you are more objective you know most of their products are decent value. It’s only the super high end stuff that is rediculously overpriced
@@pfink70 they don’t mean covers though. They mean silicone tips so that they’d work similar to the AirPods Pro and be in ear headphones, not open back like they currently are
In my opinion Apple has 3 extreme value prodcuts in 2023. 1. The newest base model iPad is just $250 at some retailers(discounted). 2. Macbook Air M1 for around $700-750 at most retailers, still works great for 2023 applicatons. 3. Mac Mini M1 or M2 base models cost very little yet function like a full desktop.
I personally consider value items from a company the size of apple to be if it’s new. The M1 is a nearly 3 year old product. It debuted at just under 1000 anyways. I don’t really consider the product as value being that old. Is it a good product? Yes. But it’s still not “value”. I think it’s appropriately priced. If the new m3 MacBook Air was being sold for 700-750 that would be value imo.
In my opinion this is the best option for using while cycling (no music , just audiobooks, podcasts and phone calls ). They do not block the outside noise so you are aware of your surroundings, very light and durable.
Lew. I am a little over 12 minutes into this video, and when you did the mic check with BOTH headphones, all the audio streaming from my MacBook Pro m1 to my AirPods Pro 2nd gen, got pushed into my left ear. I have all max quality settings for sound on and noise cancellation activated. is there a reason for this?
I bought a couple pairs of these for snowboarding. Works great on the hill since you can press and hold the mic to activate siri to call people with gloves on. and they won't fall out into the snow !
Are they any different from the lightning connection type from a few years back with regards to sound or are they just the same with a usb c connection
I would like to see a pair of wired AirPods Pro with really that were like identical to the normal AirPod pros but with a nice braided cable and they were like maybe £45
I gotta agree with this one 👍🏼 I got myself one of these wired USB-C Earpods as well, they are just reliable and for some reason I‘m tired of wireless headphones sometimes 😅
Whattt? Your tired of wireless headphones? Why? Wireless headphones, Bluetooth headphones are much better in my opinion because you never have to worry about the wires being tangled up.
@@jacobgreer1512 Well I was saying sometimes I‘m tired of wireless ones. I got Airpods as well but the wired ones I never have to charge and sometimes that’s an advantage.
@@jacobgreer1512Sound quality wired is better, you won't lose them, the mic is better, the physically buttons are more reliable, and you don't have to charge them
Absolutely love the 3.5mm version; still use them for work every day! Decent audio quality, good enough mic, never have to worry about battery, and super comfortable since they're so light. Definitely picking up this version once my current pair dies.
I ordered this a couple days back and received it today and listening to this right now on the Earpods. They sound amazing and are great for office meetings, plus feel so comfortable as compared to the bulky headphones.
This and then the AirPods Pro with USB-C on sale at Best Buy were my immediate accessories I got along with my case, screen protector, and Belkin magsafe charger with my 15 Pro Max. Apple gave me $479 for my old 12 Pro Max trade in which was a nice amount. This was a great year to upgrade and I'm glad I waited and skipped last year.
These are pretty cool. Kind of brings back some nostalgia from using the earpods that used to come with iPhones before true wireless tech came out. My airpods pro 2nd gen are the best earbuds I've ever had, the Dolby Atmos on Apple Music is just next level and I love the active noise cancelling but they were very expensive.
Honestly, super random video, but... these are indeed the go-to wired earbuds for me and have been for 10 years. Simple, clean, sound good, cheap, available everywhere, compatible with practically any device, you know what to expect every time... checks all the boxes.
Just bought one recently, although its a lightning end but I really love the quality of it and still has one of the best mic out there its d reason why I bought it lol
@@ricanyp yes! I had Gen 3 and I didn’t really like them. EarPods are super airy and feel weightless. Whereas Gen 3 are more bulky and personally caused pain after 1h as they are quite thick and create tension inside ears. Hope this helps 😇
I think it will be a welcome addition to one headphone/EarPod arsenal. Especially for those who work from home. How many times have I called a customer service and they are working from home and all you hear is the background noise that the wireless ones pick up.
I 100% agree that something like this is a great value at $19.00. The fact that we have USB-C finally is a good thing. It sucks Apple didn't include these with _at least_ the iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max is a little disappointing. I've considered the AirPod Max but $549.00 is a lot; especially since I could buy a PS5 for that amount or I could use it towards a new Windows desktop; both of which I need since I'm still on a PS4 and my PC is a Core i5 6400 with a GTX 720 Ti. So naturally I've been considering the AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) since I hear they're pretty good and $249.00 is more affordable.
That's my biggest gripe, I have the galaxy buds and if I'm on a long call, at least one will die so I have to charge that so I have something if they other dies, it's a pain in a behind for sure. They'd be great for a backup pair for that purpose alone, great vid!
i got these 2 days ago these by far are the best value product in 2023. The Mic, the audio, and the comfort. Though they dont fit in my ear very well, i still love them
I think that those EarPods are a great value. But I’d also have to mention the iPad 9th generation. It has almost all of the iPad features but on an older chip and a much cheaper price than the 10th generation iPad. I do admit that the screen real estate is lack luster compared to the other iPads but I would put the 9th generation iPad in the conversation of top value for an Apple product.
I just ordered a pair for my android phone immediately. Id be doing this with their older wired ones since 2001. I stopped when the headphone jacks disappeared and the dongle started for any phone. So happy to have them back for an insane low price. Its one of the only apple products I still use. So crazy they are $20. Its like they priced them knowing these are for their audience that rarely gives them money.
I'd rather use earpods over akg earbuds only because mic. To me, it's more clearer recording wise. I have a Samsung note phone and was wondering if you can see if the mic on the usb c earpods is compatible with Samsung phones.
I have hated the microphone on all airpods since the dawn of their existence so im so glad they released an updated version of the classic earbuds! Not everything needs to be high tech. Im glad they are finally bridging the gap
Regarding Lew Later channel: I miss the tech news from you, in general, the overview you provided, coupled with the casual humor, was a must-listen for me. Where are you???
Wired Earpods is The New Trend People Are Sick Seeing all The Wireless Buds probobly and that Old School Feel is just Great and That Loseless Audio is Awesome!
@@MiriamZamoraC sure thing bud... I just ordered it for 19pounds. Will let you know how it works and compares the pixel buds A series that I'm using now.
The Mic recording from the USB C Earpods are messed up. WIreless Earpods are good but from the video you posted, the mic video is messedup. I hope it was worth mentioning,
I personally love my EarPods. I don't think I've ever thought for once that the audio quality was lacking either, they sound great. I do however still wear the AirPods Pro when I'm at the gym, since I'm paranoid I'm going to end up hitting the wire and my iPhone is going to end up falling to the floor.
@@siddharthrawat955 It's actually really good. They sound better than what they cost at $19. It's not as good as the AirPods Pro but it comes pretty close in my opinion.
I was about to buy a new airpods pro 2 and afraid the battery will be the same as my gen 1. My left bud’s battery drains faster than my right like by alot 40% difference. Noice cancel and transparancy issues aswell. So im done with those buds. I totally forgot apple selling these type c earbuds and waaaaayyyyy cheaper. Wearing these is gonna be like the 90s vibes. So excited to use these on my ip15pm and ipad pro.
The correct price is $119. The corrected price will be adjusted on Dec 1, 2023. Apple apologizes for any unintentional value and happiness that may have occurred.
Moondrop Jiu DSP or digital signal processing are type C IEMs for 20 USD. These are not ear buds. They have silicone tips & seal properly which is great for people who regular air pods. Also moondrop space travel is a TWS for $25 USD. If you don't mind using an Apple dongle: moondrop chu 2, Tangzu Wan'Er, 7hz salnotes zero, truthear hola, these are the go to for 20 dollars. Also the Apple dongle is the best value product. It's a great dongle for dac like 10 bucks or less & even measures well. I'm an audiophile headphone nerd, I'm not a snob, but there are a lot of good options at $20 & ear pods dsp might not be competitive.
Hello my friend. From what I saw, you know a lot about headphones. Can you help me with this doubt? I want to purchase a headset worth up to 30 dollars that has good sound quality. The initial focus really is on the audio quality, but a noise-canceling and wireless headset for use at the gym would be really good. I'm in doubt between the Apple earpods usb-c (because of the quality) and the Moondrop Space travel because it's more versatile. Can you tell me if the sound quality of the Moondrop is similar to the USB-C earpod? I'm not an audiophile, so I don't have such a finely tuned "ear" yet, but I'd like to start in that world. Could you clear this doubt for me? I also thought about the possibility of Moondrop CHU 2. What do you recommend??
Moondrop quarks DSP is cheaper than this apple product. So now I need a comparison video between these two and also there are others earphones with DSP cheaper than these.
These earpods shape were perfect a four years back. But after wearing the earbuds with rubber tip for all those years these things wont fit in my ear anymore 😢
