So it's that time we got the new airpods air pots to some people are calling him that.

Everybody else is, uh, kind of saying there 1.51 point something else.

There's a reason that the new version is similar to the old version.

It's kind of complicated how Apple released it, though in a sense that there's a few different ways that you can actually purchase the new airpods.

So on the far left here, the new air pods inside of the new wireless charging case I think this is probably the only product we needed to put out.

But for some reason they let you buy the new air pods to without the wireless charging case.

Now this one is available for $159 which is the same price as the air pods one.

But without the wireless charging case, there's really, like no way to tell the difference, but nonetheless, they are the upgraded, newer model to take it a step further.

They're also selling the wireless charge case on its own, and this thing is gonna be $79 you can then take your first generation airpods these ones and pop into the wireless charge case.

Or you could upgrade the non wireless charge case version of the air pots to and then pick this up in a later date, although that wouldn't be a very smart decision.

Cost wise because when you combine the prices of these two, you got 1 59 plus 79.

Bring you above the retail price if you just get him together right here.

I've talked about the air pods in the past.

If you want a cheaper wireless charge case actually, de mode a version of that for this product here.

It's like a rubber case from a company called East Brooklyn Labs.

It's cheaper than the official wireless charge case, and it adds wireless charging to this.

That's a way to go.

But the thing to remember here is it's not just wireless charging.

There's a bit of a dispute right now happening online.

Watch a few videos if the sound of the new airpods is any better than the old Airpods.

According to Marquez, Apple said there is no difference, but there are some internal improvements to the air pods to first up.

You can now launch Siri with your voice.

It's also got a new chip inside, which is apparently a bit better for battery and is gonna connect to your devices a little bit faster.

And then the other thing that comes along with that new internal chip is the fact that there's less Leighton.

See, that's the only way you're going to know if you're on version, too, as well as this little led light on the front right here.

Let's get this out of the box now.

I do like wireless charging as well, so that functionality is worthwhile to me, especially on a product like this.

You already got a charge?

Your phone if you could have a map.

Actually, speaking of a mat on the wireless charge case, only they showcased the airpower.

Matt.

Fresh pair.

Oh, I noticed another visual difference right away on the backside.

There.

This is glossy, reflective.

This is a matte finish conversion to airpods, visually identical to the previous version.

OK, so for those of you unfamiliar with wireless charging, here's how that works.

This is a basic she compatible wireless charger.

You could find these on Amazon for like a few bucks and Then you drop your headphones on there and boom!

Orange light wirelessly charging.

How simple is that For the purpose of this testing In order to get to the bottom of the sound issue and whether or not there is a discrepancy, I've got an iPhone here.

All right, this is the 10 s, Max.

Let's go ahead and pair these up.

Look at the chip.

Go into action.

The ecosystem.

Apple on apple.

This is what you get.

Connect.

It's all it takes again.

Another advantage of this chip and this behavior the connection between the two apple products.

You get this really nice battery readout, though I found a cool app on the android side.

If you do use air pods on android air battery, it basically replicates the apple experience with a giant, ugly ad.

And look at that.

You can pretend you have an iPhone when you pair up your air pots.

It's actually very useful because it tells you your batteries well, 100% 100%.

25%.

Course, it's not official.

This is official.

And this is very quick on the apple sides.

I'm gonna remove these.

This is serious, too.

And now, I guess we should boot up some music.

Maybe they're a little outer.

Should I get another iPhone?

So I can quickly a b it this version one.

Remember to get the exact same track.

Same source, same phone airports, one airports to just one year.

Okay, right.

Year airpods number one.

Left year air pots, too.

I'm gonna flip years just to make sure my years are not the problem.

Here.

Will take that out.

This Take this out.

Do this.

Now I have airport wanting left air pot too, and right.

All right.

I've concluded that there's no difference.

I thought for a moment, but that's the crazy part about this.

You really need some strong A be testing to know for certain couple different songs, couple different genres, If there's any difference.

I'm telling you right now it's minuscule.

The old versus the new I don't think the reason to get the new ones.

This sound all right?

They got pretty confidently say that.

Based on my little test right here, there really is only one major reason to upgrade, which is the wireless charge case.

That's a simple little obvious convenience factor.

And how big we do that is depends really on you and how much you value the opportunity to do that.

But, unfortunately, the wireless charge case, If you just wanna upgrade your version one is really expensive.

It's 80 bucks just the case on its own, so I'm not sure that that's worthwhile, either.

I would say you're looking at version, too.

If you don't have a pair yet, or if your version one aren't holding a charge, maybe the battery is kind of killed on them.

Then you could be looking towards version to.

This is a convenience thing.

It's a form factor thing, these tiny little packages you put in your pocket.

You don't even realize.

Remember that it's a dare, which is good.

That's what you want.

It's so small and so convenient that you find yourself reaching for it.

Inevitably, that's why I made that video about the air pod confession.

That's why I'm using these things on an android phone.

It's a very low friction device, and that's why these air, attractive to people at other manufacturers, need to take note.

So there it is.

Version two.

You heard the differences wireless charging slightly better battery life faster connection and lower, late and see.

But they sound like the first generation looked like the first generation basically behave like the first generation.

If you have a first generation, I'd say Stick it out.

No needs upgrade.

Not at the moment.
