Apple AirPods Price in Singapore & Specifications

When Apple announced its first wireless earphones, the news had every Apple enthusiast hyped up about the AirPods’ functionality and cool design. While looking quite identical to the usual Apple earphones ‘EarPods’, the AirPods come without cords, making them truly wireless. Released back in December 2016, the AirPods are essential accessories for Apple iPhone users who have had enough of tangled cords.

Why You Should Get AirPods Today

With these wireless earphones, there’s no need to reach for your phone to pause your music when someone initiates a conversation with you. As long as you remove one side of the earphones from your ear, the music will be immediately paused. To resume the music, just put the earphone back in, and you can then continue revelling in your favourite tunes. Aside from music, you can also summon your favourite assistant Siri by double-tapping on your AirPods, it will accomplish any smartphone navigation duty requested by you. It’s ideal for those who would like to be less attached to their smartphone.

Pocket-friendly AirPods Case

Fitting snugly in a white charging case with a magnetic closure, Apple AirPods can be removed and put back in place with ease. Even though the AirPods case is made of plastic, its build is of high quality. Even after months of flipping open and closing the durable case, the lid still works just fine. However, given its plastic material, it is still prone to scratches when coming in contact with sharp objects. This may call for an additional layer of Silicon case cover to protect the case in the long run. The case isn’t just a normal case for storing your AirPods, but it also serves as a charger. To charge the AirPods, all you need to do is plug your iPhone cable into the case’s Lightning port that’s placed at the bottom.

AirPods (1st Gen) Battery Life

After a full charge, the AirPods deliver up to 5 hours of listening time or 2 hours of talk time. When placed in the case for merely 15 minutes, you can already get 3 hours of listening time, sufficient for your listening needs during the commute for the day. The battery life is considerably great since it’s a rare occasion for us to be on our earphones for more than 5 hours per day.

Verdict

For first-time users of wireless headphones who are looking to save some dough, the 1st-generation AirPods work just fine thanks to their convenience and ease of use. Their price is rather affordable now considering that Apple constantly releases new editions of AirPods with some feature or audio enhancements.
