Many people recently have started walking around with Bluetooth headphones by Apple. These Bluetooth headphones are called AirPods. These headphones have become popular because they are wireless Bluetooth headphones that instantly connect to your iPhones. The problem people have with these headphones is they are so expensive, so the question is “is the price worth the product you get?”. AirPods are $162 at the Apple Store. So is the price worth having wireless headphones?

They may be quite expensive, but there are many benefits. These benefits include: not having to worry about any cords in your way and they are easy to share with a friend due to their wireless ability. These headphones are also easy to be able to talk on the phone with someone because they have very good microphones that allow the person wearing them to hear and speak to the other person. While these headphones are made for iPhones, they can also connect to many different types of phones. AirPods also can change from a song to a song from just slightly tapping on them. In addition, they also instantly start playing if you are watching a certain video.

There are also some downsides of the product; they do cost a lot for such a small product that just helps listen to music. This product also is very small and can be really easy to lose. Not to mention that there are a lot of fake AirPods online and they have many malfunctions and don’t work very well. Additionally, in order to get them in different colors, they have to be custom made, which is very expensive. The headphones also have short battery life and have to be recharged quite often.  Finally, the product also doesn’t come with an iPhone like previous iPhone headphones that come with the phone every time. So are these headphones really worth the price?
