  • Trust that it works well and it does. However, first gen was not as good as after it.

    1. Good microphone quality. Not true for first gen after some time in my experience

    2. Reliable connection. True most of the time.

    3. Apple ecosystem, yes to a small degree. Ability to see battery level is nice.

    4. Fast recharge times

    5. Endless usage time if using one headphone at a time. It is my preference usage method.

    Cons: high price. After several years I expect to find comparable competition. It exists, and i use it, but i lost: 1, 2, 3 from my list. And usability is crap: accidentally touching headphone turns it off.


  • Downvotes shall list better headphones.

    I myself have not found a better solution.

    I like apple headphones and i settled on similar shaped non-apple brand at a fraction af the price, but it is lower in quality compared to apple. Microphone is crap and I stopped trying to use it. Headphones level is good at low level and high level sound reproduction, but it is not as accurate as apple.

    In the end the trade off is worth it to me for the price, but i will not claim at is better.

    So, bring on your alternative and price of it.


  • Mine lasted for years as far as battery is concerned.

    Unfortunately the loudness level has dropped significantly. I went to Apple store and they acknowledged this as that’s what happens to them.

    Eventually I gave up and replaced with alternative lower cost similar style headphones. The sound level is plenty, but microphone is terrible. I tried several and found I found similar problems. It is acceptable for much lower cost, but doesn’t compare.



  • I agree with others that best policy is to shave bold or very short. I do #1, because i find it most convenient.

    If you really want to check the product it is best to go to product website (they usually promote and sell). Read their legal statements. Most of them will point there that product makes no claims of medical use, it is just a supplement, it is not FDA approved. It is for entertainment purposes only.

    The legal small print on the website itself will tell you if you should buy or not. It protects website from liability and they gamble that most people don’t read it.

    You will spend less time going through legal statements than looking for “other people’s unbiased opinion“ on internet. The latter may not even exist as products can be rebranded every 6 months.
