It’s been over two years since the original AirPods were released, and they’ve quickly become the most popular pair of wireless headphones in the world. So many people, my self included, have been waiting patiently for a refresh. And that’s exactly what Apple gave us on March 20th, although the product didn’t receive as dramatic a change as some expected. That’s why many reviewers are calling these the AirPods 1.5, because supposedly next year Apple will release new AirPods again. Except with major changes like a design overhaul, a black option, a matte finish, and maybe even touch controls. But for now, let’s unbox these new AirPods, see what they can do, and compare them to the original.
Now these new generation of AirPods are the first to offer buying options. You can get them with a wireless charging case for $200, a standard charging case for $160, or you can buy the wireless charging case by itself for $80 and use it with your previous generation AirPods. But one thing you cannot do is put a first and second generation AirPod in the same case. I bought the $200 model with a wireless charging case from my local Apple Store the day they went on sale, and I didn’t run into any issues with limited stock like I did back in 2016 with the original AirPods.
