Some will think they look odd protruding slightly from your ears like an über-futuristic Bluetooth headset, but it doesn’t bother me, especially as they’re getting more ubiquitous by the day. Related: Apple Music review They’re surprisingly subtle when you’re looking face-on and can easily be camouflaged by a tangle of facial hair. They do look a bit odd from the side, and I’m sure I’ve seen some lingering looks from passers-by, but I don’t feel quite as self-conscious wearing them as I thought I would. In any case, they’re so ubiquitous now that the look as been normalised. My bigger concern, though, is fit, because what use are earphones this small and delicate if they just fall out? For me, they fit perfectly and nestle comfortably into my ears. I can vigorously shake my head and they’ll refuse to fall out – same goes for if I accidentally knock them.

I’ve run in them, slept on a plane with them on, hauled myself through rush-hour London in them, and they haven’t so much as budged. But this is far from the case with everyone. I passed the buds around a group of friends and for about 50% of them they fell out after a slight shake of the head, while a few others managed some stronger movement. It seems like it changes from person to person, and that’s a naive move from Apple. Why aren’t there any tips included to improve fit? Other wireless headphones have often included ‘wingtips’ designed to catch your outer ear, holding the earbuds in place, although these would have undoubtedly disturbed the clean design.

Sir Jony Ive probably vetoed them. My advice would be to try them out before you buy. Oh, and since they’re white, they do get a little dirty after a while. Apple AirPods – Sound quality, W1 chip and Siri If you plan on buying the Apple AirPods because you’re looking for a sound experience that’s on par with the price, then don’t bother.

But I can’t see anyone doing that. EarPods were often lambasted for their meagre sound, and while there is some definite improvement here, they’re far from what would describe as ‘great sounding headphones’. For audiophiles these ain’t. As with lot of these completely wireless earbuds there’s a noticeable lack of crispness in instruments and detail in vocals. But, there’s a lot more bass when compared to the older EarPods and most sub-£100 earbuds.

The bass isn’t too harsh either, and it doesn’t overshadow the other parts of a song. I’d say the bass is much more manageable than Beats cans, which often ruin genres of music that aren’t hip-hop.

Pump the volume up to full whack and this will quickly disappear, but that’s hardly a surprise. Issues do arise when running with the Apple AirPods, as ambient noises overtake the audio thanks to poor sound isolation. If the AirPods aren’t stuck right into your ears, it’s easy for other noises to wash away the sound.

I love my Bose QC35 and I know our Homes Editor Ced swears by the excellent Sony MDR-1000X, but even the best Bluetooth headphones still suffer issues. Audio is prone to cutting out when you put the phone in your pocket, and pairing is a cumbersome affair of pressing buttons and hoping the connection is made. Most of what makes the AirPods so exciting is the W1 chip tucked inside that solves both of these issues. It’s the same chip that’s inside the Beats Studio 3 Wireless and will feature in many more of Apple’s headphones down the line.
