Why Apple AirPods are the best wireless earbuds of 2020
The Apple AirPods, workout earbuds pulling double-duty as everyday earbuds, have become a major plus for my busy, ever-moving life. Here’s why.
I’ve seen people at the gym wearing AirPods, business travelers sporting them, making their way through crowds and countless people wearing them all over town.
And while I figured they must stay in your ears throughout high intensity workouts and help cancel out background noise, I never expected how far these earbuds took things. In windy Chicago, Illinois, I found myself able to speak through a phone conference without any other participants thinking I was standing in a wind tunnel. (Since I bought the Apple Airpods, Apple’s released the AirPods Pro, an upgraded version with even stronger noise-canceling features.)
Other than proving to be the best workout headphone I’d ever used, here are the details that make them a solid investment.
Other features include the ability to summon Siri via the earbuds and utilize basic smart assistant features: I can ask her about the time, the weather, to play music and call my mom. Because the AirPods need to charge, I keep their charging case next to my phone charger and just plug it in to another charger whenever I charge my phone. I also never have to deal with tangled chords anymore when I do so (was never a fan of spending 30 to 60 seconds untangling those each time I was ready to listen to music or get on a phone call).
