Over the past few weeks, I have heard a number of people say that Apple AirPods are hands down the best wireless headphones on the market. 

Yes, they look like mini hair dryers. But everyone kept telling me that they are simply indispensable if you talk on the phone a lot and/or you’re tired of accidentally unplugging your headphones at the gym.

I have a wireless headset for my landline at the office and I absolutely love it. I don’t know how I ever worked without one.

I also fumble over and yank on my headphone cable so often at the gym that my Urbanears are now cutting in and out. I’m not sure if it’s the headphones or my phone’s jack. 

So I got myself some AirPods. 

I’m probably late to this party, but they are indeed awesome. They instantly pair with your phone as soon as you take them out of their recharging case and put them into your ears. Want to pause what you’re listening to? Just take one of them out of your ears. It’s all seamless.

They’re also a game changer if you pair them with the new Apple Watch Series 3. Now you don’t even need your phone to make and take calls.

Word of mouth: More effective than even Apple’s own superlatives.
