Are airpods superior in any particular way, or is it just the name brand?

For fit's sake, the AirPods Pro is the best AirPods you can get—by virtue of the fact that they're the only ones that seal your ear canal.
So they're the best by virtue of a .2cent rubber gasket.

Every earbud from Bluetooth 1.0 has had that seal.
:wtf:

Serious question. Just got offered some a lil while ago for nearly 4x the price I've spent on some cheap jlab's. The jlab's seem just fine for me but i literally don't know what i'm missing. That's what sucks about earpods in general, you can't exactly 'test' them out and if you did... :scust:

This is a good deal so i'm considering but i don't wanna drop the money for the same experience :lupe:
There are a lot of budget earbuds that sound way better than the airpods and airpods pro, talking under 100. Unless you have a lot of Apple devices, don't even waste your money. The advantage Airpods had years ago was their size and being able to easily fit in a pocket. All earbuds today are pocketable (outside of Bose). Not sure what your budget is but if you are looking around the 100 dollar mark, check out the Soundcore products (Liberty 3 pros are nice), Jabra has some products around the $100 mark, 1more products. Soundpeats and Earfun if you want to go cheaper

Its just name brand there is nothing special about it, same for beats by dre, you can get better product and value at lower cost. People want to chase clout and it helps them feel among, i for one wont spend over 500 dollars on a damn ear piece!

He's offering them for $80. I actually have an android phone. Got an ipad but that's really to sign into my developer account. The jlabs I got were $20 and I do just fine by them but you know, I had to ask given the deal.

I do want some higher quality ones though for regular listening and use the jlabs for working out.

Don't buy them, look elsewhere, airpods are pointless with Android
