@@reeshayyy5967 you want to give it away to someone that wants one?
You just copied a post on imjustbait
This is got to be the first time I've ever heard a CZcamsr reviewing a product play metal music most of the time it's always dubstep hip-hop so kudos to you sir
Honestly metal is better for this sometimes since it can sound fuzzy or clear
To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. czcams.com/users/postUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.
I got my first pair of earpods a few months back when I switched to using iPhones instead of Android, and I was so shocked by the sound quality. I was expecting a cheap, tinny, flat sound with little to no bass. The sound to me is actually rich and the bass is amazing for me. I have Soundcore liberty 2 pros and I can’t even get my bass on those to sound as nice. I wonder how the EarPods compare in sound to AirPods Pro? If they sound similar I’d buy the pros in a heartbeat
I was shocked too, the simple design and frail build kind off deceived me into thinking that they would sound like some cheap 5-10 bucks earphones but the sound quality was absolutely amazing.
Between myself and my wife we have all 3, sound wise, Earpods the best.. way better... Airpods pro great all round package, you won't be disappointed, just not as good as the earpods sound.. Only buy the airpods if you can't manage the extra for the pro
@@kevanmcnay3079 Seriously? For me the sound on Airpods Pro is better than on earbuds.
omgg same the only thing that kept from buying an iphone before this was my low expectation on their earpods… when i first tried it i was so shocked and impressed by the quality
@@edimarjunior9616 yh i use my mates air pods pro and they are so much better than earbuds…. But im switching to sony m4s
I’ve always used EarPods to pair with my Android devices before. Now that I have the iPhone 11, thea EarPods to me will never go out of style but kinda eyeing to get the new Airpods 3 for that wireless experience during biking and light exercise.
Thank you for this great video! Totally agree with you. The sound of the earpods amazes me all the time. I have a lot of audiophile gears and headphones, but can heartily recommend these wired earpods for a great audio experience. Also the listening session will be enhanced if the quality of the audio file is great as well!
I have both...EarPods win!!!
Airpods
Earpods sound soooo good! I think imma switch back🤩🤩🤩
EarPods are louder and more bass but AirPods are more comfy
I use the both of them but the EarPods are mad🤯
Agree I'm done with the airpods the difference is huge
2022... I still use OG earpods, the original ones with the 1/8" TRRS connector. They are comfortable and sound good too. At $19 each i dont care if they break or I lose them. They pretty much have replaced my legendary Koss KSC 75 for portable non isolation use.
I’ve used EarPods for years and I’ve come with the opposite conclusion after going back and forth I love both and if you don’t want to drop the money on AirPods then don’t! They are both amazing sounding and versatile. I like my AirPods more and to me they have better sound quality but the main thing for me is the ability to not have to worry about a wire during a workout or when I’m doing something I don’t have the wire in the way, both are amazing products and anyone would be more than satisfied with either!
I did some comparisons and I have to agree. Perhaps EarPods are better than AirPods 1st gen, but not 2nd gen.
My brother has both EarPods and AirPods 2nd gen, and I just got AirPods Pro 2. To be honest I'm trying to find an excuse to return the AirPods Pro, and after watching this video I compared all three (And yes I cleaned all the earwax out of my brother's ones so it didn't affect the quality).
The AirPods 2nd gen definitely sound better than the EarPods to me, so I can't agree with this video. The AirPods 2nd gen still sound pretty good against the AirPods Pro 2 too, but they're very bass heavy for some things, and without silicon tips or noise cancellation, they're not nearly as good in louder environments like on a train or in a busy store.
I thought AirPods were a bit of a gimmick ever since they came out, and that's how I felt the first time I tried the AirPods Pro 2 I got. But after testing them in a bunch of scenarios with a range of different audio sources I'm beginning to realise they're actually quite good. I honestly thought I was going to return them next week until I started comparing.
It depends on which bt version your phone has. From iPhone 14 which is bt 5.2, Your air pods pro2 is fine enough for lossless transmission.
@@santos8146 what about airpods 2 and ipad pro 11 inch m2? Or older iphones such as iphone 7
@@aliciapark6241 older phones have bt4. 2 which has more signal distortion and higher battery consumption than latest ones. Technically, sound quality won't differ but older ones breaks the transmission more when you try to hear higher quality music. Normal quality should be fine though.
The sound quality on the EarPods is amazing honestly but they’re far more uncomfortable and have the smallest amount of isolation I’ve ever seen
I’m more uncomfortable paying 160.00 lol
chris haffer yea it’s a lot but if yours don’t break just keep them but mine break a lot so it’s better for me just to get wireless
Zasher I got mine for free when I bought my Mac. I just gave them to my daughter lol
chris haffer 150 isn’t much for what you get for them.
That is 100% how I feel about my new AirPods. They let in way too much outside noise and my right AirPod fell out today at the gym when I simply bent down to pickup my water bottle.
To me the EarPods is the best why because I had the EarPods for 5 years still working great bass like crazy. I bought the AirPods in 2019 and this is 2021 it’s still working but you hardly hearing any sounds on both. And I take good care of them. Only used them if Im in the airport, car, or sometimes if im going gym you feel me. But it’s a modern world I’ll buy the air pods 4 in a timing
thanks a lot for your comparison, great test, you can straight away hear the difference in the quality
Thanks for making a simple video review. All a matter of preference. 👏🏾👏🏾
EarPods are so incredible honestly. I have Bose Quiet Comfort, and EarPods. The only difference is the price and the noise canceling, I swearrrrr
No, you don't swear, anyone who actually owned a bose quiet comfort would be able to tell. Even the best earphones can't catch up to even some of the more basic headphones
After having airpods for a year, yeah there cool it's nice to not have to deal with wires but I ended up selling them and just bought the oldie but goodie wired earpods.
Thanks, fast and clear, Very helpful!
Thanks! I ordered earpods instantly after this video!
I use AirPods for class, or just vibin and skating I use wired so I don’t fall and break them :)
Such a Great video
im so glad you used metal examples... im a big metalcore deathcore, prog/djent kinda guy haha, also. you shoud test the kz iem's against the airpods
Haha, same man.
bro i came to realize the same by having same issues like yours
My only Apple product ever is some EarPods my ex gave me when she bought the then new iPhone XS. They're still rocking 5 years later in an Android phone. Amazing sound quality and they are as comfortable as they can be.
I stopped using my AirPods because the batteries deteriorated too much, I found the EarPods sounded way better especially with the “Headphone Accommodations” that let you get a much fuller sound on the top end
What Headphone Accommodations and how do I make the most out of it pls reply
@@a.l.a.n_0422 Go to “Settings” and find the “Accessibility” section. Scroll to find “Audio/Visual” where Headphone Accommodations is the first option.
*The airpods r much better*
Me without captions: Huh?
I have earpods and airpods but im liking my earpods more than my airpods cause i have a lot of connectivity problems with bluetooth and the sound is more central with the earpods
Thank you, I'm at best buy, and made my choice, 30 dollar EarPods best spent.
animegeek96 They ain't bad but Samsung buds are better. Or if you have an apple device go for the EarPods. You can tuck the wiring through your shirt. So no problem..
@@depression_isnt_real i spent 175 on them lol
nice video, thx
Surprisingly yeah, the EarPods DO have way better sound that I noticed when I decided to break them out after an AirPod charge
G-great video!
Thank you! Wired headphones will always be king.
Lol
Yeah right.🤭
@@centaurinewsome3082 sound quality better
You just saved me a f load of money
Thank you 🥰
I was watching this without looking at the screen and I initially couldn't tell the difference. Second time I did it, I heard a deeper bass in the Airpods.
You can feel a major difference between Earpods and Airpods while listening to a good podcast. Earpods sound so crispy and clear while Airpods sound also very nice but they have a bass in the sound if that makes sense
That’s what I noticed. Probably more bass-y to counter the sound quality
Well said
It depends on which phone are you using. Older phones have older bt version, in that case earpods sounds better.
I Just Bought My Very First Pair Of Earpods Ever With 3.5mm For Android . I Put Some Earhooks On Them And It Really Make Them Sound Alot Better Especially In The Bass .
Here’s an honest review from someone who owns both:
EarPods, since they’re wired, it transfers audio in a much better quality imo. With these, I can hear all of the instruments, bass, everything when it comes to music. It’s a lot clearer and they’re really good quality for just $30.
AirPods, while they are convenient, when I first got them, they were really bass-y. I didn’t get the full on experience like I did with the wired ones, and they’re simply just convenient because they’re truly wireless headphones. I can’t say much, since I have the 2nd gen’s, and I can almost guarantee newer gen’s sound so much better.
Can you do air pod pros next vs the earpods
Yea these EarPods are very good.
I Got Both 🥱 Each Is Handy In A Different Situation
What one should I get I need help
@@itzvenompaul I Use My Airpods EVERY DAY You Can Buy A Strap So You Won’t Drop It Out Your Ear They’re Not Waterproof But The AirPods Pro’s Are
@@hhrhheh your airpods are defected.
I Have Both Airpods, Beats, and EarPods My EarPods Always End Up On The Floor My Beats Are Too Big To Carry I’m Always Carrying My Airpods It’s Like I Disowned My Beats and EarPods 😂🤦🏾♂️
@@hhrhheh I Lost The Strap So I Use These Silicone Thingies Ear Covers On It 😂
I use both, what I do is that I take my AirPods to school so the teachers can’t tell I’m wearing them (because of the long hair) and use the EarPods while I’m out because I think they look cool. So basically I use the EarPods for fashion senses while I’m out and they’re also pretty good for listening to music. I personally think the AirPods sound better, but they’re honestly too pricey. I bought them out of impulse and though I don’t regret it, I feel like I could’ve gotten cheaper options from Samsung.
I just prefer the apple earpods. I'm tired of buying other headphones with too much treble even when using EQ. Earpods present my listening experience more accurately, despite being a little muddy on some songs
Josh R. They def sound better then wired and the bass is a lot better.
Donavin Merriweather than*
bought EarPods for my Switch, was considering getting AirPods for my phone. Glad I did not, thanks for saving me some money!
My bad
@Dookie Mane bro...
Yeah good for you. Airpods are super convenient tho
was it a good expirience or not ?
u wack
Lightning EarPods are way better than the 3,5mm versions Apple used to include with iPods.
The difference is extreme. They might not have loud bass, but the clarity is astonishing for the price.
Yeah, but the New earpods 3.5mm are just The same quality as the lightning version.
@@edimarjunior572 I have Earpods 3.5mm of 2019 Release Date. Is this same quality as Lightning version? When i research that people saying Lightning version better quality than 3.5mm but im not sure. :(
@@bozkurtmaster8979 i just want to buy one which one is good for video editing using mac?
@@TheSpyCode If u will do ur jobs on macbook u should buy lightning
Wired ones are better and convenient to use no delays good sounds quality and no accidentall touch if you lay down side plus you dont need to charge it and it's less expensive
No way this dude said convenient and was serious about it 😂
Valeu mano, tava na dúvida porque queria o melhor áudio na qualidade lossless e percebi que os fones bluetooth ( no preço do EarPods) não conseguiriam me proporcionar essa definição sonora, thank you, i am from Brazil!
Interesting... but should be more fair if both models were in same position when used the microphone for comparison.
Exactly
Thank you for thisb
So are airpods 2 more better? Are they worth the 120 price tag?
The sound quality of wired audio devices, for the most part, will generally be better than their wireless counterparts.
@Geico Lizard
The $100 one with worse audio quality than the $20 one.
So surprising bluetooth earphones ranging from 100-200 dollars sound worse than $20 wired Earphones.. I knew wired ones would sound better, but I thought the difference wouldn't exceed the price class
That's not always the case. If the speakers are of the same quality, sure. But the cable itself not that big of a deal, when it comes to consumer electronics. Most headphones are at a 32 ohm impedence, which means there's a bottle neck
Depends on bt version the phone uses and streaming settings on music app. Wired is better than wireless in terms of sound quality is no longer the case for general purpose earphones. For studio grade, still wired knocks wireless out of the park.
My mom has a pair of Earpods. We've had them for only God knows how long and they still work. One of them is cracked though. And the wire cover is starting to come off on one side.
100% right....
You did great ......✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
I love the sound quality of the earpods and am about to get the Beats Flex, how do they compare?
I have on earpods now and can’t tell a difference.
What microphone are you using?
Thank you for your candid review. Which one would you choose for Zoom meetings? Does EarPods have better mic too? Please advise.
The wired earbuds have a significantly better microphone.
I acknowledge and agree that digital audio, especially hi-rez can sound virtually like analog. But, I avoid Bluetooth transfers for certain. It’s wired phones all the way!
Cheap to replace... in Australia they’re 40 bucks (that’s insane for wired earphones)
In the usa you can buy them for 19 usd or like 25 Australian dollars
@@hazyportillo1345 nah you’re getting off brand ones, they’re $30 here

Were the AirPods 1st or 2nd generation?
My friend gave me his boat earphones for a change ...
I threw that shit out and gave him a taste of some earpod action..
Bitch has them for over a year now
thank you sir
can u tell me if your outro song is copy free and where I can download it ? much appreciate it , I leave u a like
the earpods is my standard now that i'm looking for truly wireless earphones, is there any out there that truly match the experience? that are not headsets
Bro if you can afford the AirPods Pro but even then your not getting the same value as with wired headphones that are free, included in the box, only plus in the AirPods Pro is the active noise canceling and of course they are wireless but sound wise I still enjoy listening to things in my wired headphones if I’m not working out.
The AirPod pros will give u an headache and make your ears sore
Skull candy sesh eco actually blew my mind with the sound quality they just look goofy af
I’d say the sennheiser momentum 2 earbuds they sound the same as the earbuds I own a pair
imo i personally think that the Airpods 1st gen (which is what I've got) sound so much better than my wired earpods as the sound quality on my wired earpods is so quiet and the quality on my airpods is so amazing. everyone to themselves tho

If you want to look cool and have more mobile earphones get the AirPods but the midd and lows suck they took “bass boosted” to a new level
I have been using the regular EarPods and now I purchased the AirPods 3 gen I am so disappointed about the sound quality but the most important AirPods 3 are really uncomfortable in the ear. With the EarPods I was able to listen music all day long thing that I’m not able to do it with the AirPods. I will return it to the store to buy a brand new EarPods! Like your videos said if you like quality sound EarPods are for you!
I love Earpods so much but I feel like they've gone down in their quality, I got two new ones recently and they're almost broken already it could be they're using cheaper material for them!?
Make sure it’s authentic, there are several duplicate earpods which look 100% similar to the originals, they even have a code and warranty card too! The only difference is the sound quality, If you want to check whether your earpods are authentic 1) go to settings 2) tap the control center
3) place the ‘Hearing’ on the control center
4) play a music while you’re listening to your earpods
5) check the ‘Hearing’ icon on the control center
6) If your earpods are authentic the icon will show the highs and the lows of the song you’re playing through a volume bar under the ‘Hearing’ icon, and will have several features like noise, reduce loud noise, etc
Do you know where the mic is on the airpods? Not sure if youve faced the mic to the noise source
The mic is directly on the part that goes in your ear. It may be hard to see but I ensured that it was in direct contact with that spot.
Thanks you talked me out of AirPods
Brooke Johanna Airpods are one of my favorite everyday use purchases. i’ve had a few pairs of wireless buds in my life. they all have broken within a month in different ways. the little wire snaps the buttons stop clicking. my airpod fell out of my ear 5 stories bounced on a car hood and landed on cement. still works fine. that same pod fell in the toilet. sound quality still pristine. the point is. pay for the quality. i’ve never been this satisfied with a purchase
@@thesovereignspark If Ear pods broke you can still buy New ones and at the end its cheaper
Jeremia-E. Pindra cheaper, sure. but not better
Brooke Johanna yeah don’t let him do that. Look at any review online or anywhere and they’ll tell you AirPods have better bass and treble and sound better. This dudes tweaking.
@@XMilesX123 hi dude you have replied under every comment literally 😂
I was searching for my AirPods and couldn’t find them.
So I went for my EarPods (that I left hanging for years…) but I noticed that the sound is great and even the bass is in my opinion better.
But I found my AirPods again and use them daily again.
But I don’t forget the earpods, they helped me good and still delivers good quality sound.
metal music is best for testing nice choice.
There’s way too much latency with AirPods while producing music on my iPad. EarPods all the way.
See I’m in the problem I’ve used EarPods lightning for 7 years they coast where I live 19.99 not a lot but they break in 4 months that’s 3 pairs a year money racks up but I can’t find nothing better then the EarPods can you?
Did you compare with the 3.5 mm or the lightning version of the EarPods?
They are the same but personally I'd recommend the lighting ones since they harder to break in my experience
EARPORS ROCK! I've been saying for like ever that the EARPODS are so underrated
Which generation AirPod is this?
Putting such great earphones for free with their iPhones, killed me, they don't and for a while now they don't, I think starting from iPhone 8, there are no earpods in the box. But I agree, sound quality on Earpods is very good for the price.
I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max, and I’m getting an earpods ❤️
I love mine.
Thanks g
Nice video
yeah.. i thot its just me.. (you know with all the reviews and all)
but i found music on airpods are muffled not as crisp as it is on earpods
I personally prefer earbuds because when I listen to music, people see the wires and don’t bother me so I can enjoy my music in peace. With AirPods, they’re hard to see, especially if your hair covers your ears. Also, I’m never worried of losing my earbuds cuz of the wires. I’ll take the 30 seconds to untangle them.
Yo adquirí unos AirPods 2 pero al pasar del tiempo regresé con mis EarPods ya que es molesto estar levantándolos del piso
Ha, the kids flexing there Airpods during warmups got ripped😂
Haha facts 🤣
@@Roo_Tech fr tho
Slimy *cough AirPods sound better and have much better and deeper bass. I haven’t touched wired ones since I’ve got AirPods just bc of that.
I don’t really flex em tbh. I just want something that’s more portable. that’s probably why I got em
Hey
good video.
Does anyone know if the Wired Earpods (P2) are compatible with Android laptops? I own both the USB-C and the P2.. And I love them! However, on the laptop, I only have P2. If it is supposed to be compatible, can anyone help me with settings? Thanks!
it depends on music service tbh. apple has its ecosystem. apple music is capped at 256kbps. just like the airpods. so it’s fine by then and if you’re an apple music user you shouldn’t have a problem with using either. then it just becomes a question of convenience
very cool👍
I only wear over the head headphones
What about AirPods Pro vs EarPods? Which one sound better?
Earpods still sounds better.
i think the airpods have a bit more bass but fo sho the wire earpods are higher res as it were/ clearer. so airpods with give a bit more bass with the down side of less clariy
Bass on airpods what?? lol i dont listen bass very silence broke
I have both ear pods and air pods2 i rly like my ear pods but ofc i use air pods more bc they are wireless but ear pods sound is wo much better for 200$ leas
I thought that the bipods sounded better in the music you played but thats just my opinion so
I honestly just hear a tiny bit better sound on the earbuds. Its just that airpods sometimes make my ear ache
Hello, I would just like to know if the wired Lightning EarPods are lossless quality? because I know that all Apple AirPods in Bluetooth use the AAC codec and therefore compress the sound enormously and personally that does not interest me, since all my music is in CD quality which comes from my personal CDs which I copy to AIFF format or from Qobuz in CD quality also or Hi-Res, even if I know that it is an intelligent compression signed by Apple of which I have heard many times excellent reviews on the AirPods Max. But I know that they were developed to work via Bluetooth although they can be wired. But losing the harmonics and dynamics I find very annoying. So I really want to know if the Lightning EarPods are lossless and also the USB EarPods - is that please? Thank you for your answers. Then I know very well that to opt for true lossless quality from a smartphone, you must opt for a digital-analog DAC with quality wired analog HI-FI headphones. But giving €400 is complicated at the moment.
Спасибо друг, не мог найти подобного видео на русскоязычном ютуб. Я купил AirPods 2 и понял, что звук хуже чем в проводных EarPods, я не мог понять почему так )
I got a I phone my Ada offers one AirPod but I chose the earphones IM GLAD
My dog's name is Roo. Subbed. Now how damn simple is that? Hahah. Looking for some new headphones , I have a ton. But each one missing right seal size of tips. From Chinese AZN ZSN to Leather Klipsche Neckband R6 to AHM Audio Technica m20x. I use Android and would love to find an affordable flagship with fit and tone a priority. Any tips ? Pun intended.
From my experience, they both sound the same, although I must say the AirPods might sound a smidget louder and you’re paying for the convenience of wireless.
That means that you are not able to find a difference between each other.
I have a doubt I have a xiomai pro hd 2 and I am thinking about buying the earpods from apple. Do u think they should sound better? what about the confort in ears?
Since you have an android you should definitely get the wired ones- they sound really good and are very comfortable. If they didn’t have wire I could go the whole day and forget they were in my ears.
Thank God I jump to this video before deciding to buy airpods. Now, I just gonna stick with my earpods
