Wait Because the AirPods 2 Aren't Really New

Wait Because the AirPods 2 Aren't Really New

Originally we recommended waiting simply to see if the Pixel Buds 2 would be worth buying over the AirPods, or even Apple's AirPods Pro.

Apple eventually released a new set of AirPod 2 headphones, but they're not really new new. Yes, they added a new "W1" chip inside they claim makes it pair to your phone faster and maybe last longer for phone calls, but the sound isn't any different. Plus, they're $200 if you want the charging case. Even the AirPod Pros aren't all that new anymore. 

Basically, the old and somewhat outdated AirPods are your only option for now, unless you pay a lot more for wireless charging and the AirPod 2. Basically, yes, we still recommend waiting for Google's Pixel Buds 2. They'll be a better choice than AirPods for anyone on Android.

      Yeah, pretty weak. We’re hoping for Pixel Buds 2 along with the Pixel 3 Lite in early 2019.
