Everyone has probably heard of the American organization Consumer Reports, which tests not only electronic products but also advises users whether their purchase makes sense or not. Its recommendations are indeed widely followed and often very well-publicized. However, it is definitely not possible to say that the testers from this organization always hit the mark, as their assessments are often at least strange. For example, in 2017, they called the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus phones better than iPhone X. With a rather interesting and largely controversial assessment Apple product is coming even now.

This time, the testers took the wireless headphones to the test. AirPods that they opposed Galaxy Buds from Samsung. Although one would think that the huge popularity AirPods more or less indicate their quality and Galaxy Buds So it must logically be on its feet, the opposite is true. Samsung's wireless headphones won the test by a landslide, receiving 86 points out of 100 possible, compared to 56 points. AirSubs.

The testers were at AirAlthough the Pods were quite satisfied with the music reproduction, they were disappointed when watching movies and listening to the dialogues in them, in which they should have AirPods allegedly have obvious shortcomings. A major weakness of Apple headphones is said to be the bass, which is indistinct, or the music combining a large number of instruments that blend together and overall the sound from the headphones does not seem very good. In contrast Galaxy Buds According to testers, they should have significantly better bass and also in the presentation of highs, lows and midrange passages AirThe Pods are superior. What is truly strange is the criticism of the control by tapping on individual headphones, which many Apple fans perceive as an interesting innovative element rather than a weakness.
Bottom line, sum up - Consumer Reports' recommendation is clear: Buy it Galaxy Buds. However, as I mentioned above, this organization has made a number of rather strange statements, with which many customers do not fully identify. Therefore, this assessment must also be taken with a grain of salt. After all, if it were completely true, it would be difficult to AirPods have reigned supreme in wireless headphone sales. What is your opinion of this product?
All competition that has production audio products as a priority, performs better than AirPods, Galaxy Buds or other buds.
Yes, but with Airyou guys are just cool at school... that's why the sales are so high. I think audio They are average to below average in quality.
There aren't many headphones in the 4000+ CZK price range that have worse sound than this. AirPods. Actually, maybe none.
That's it Apple products are already mostly bought just because of the brand. Even the newest iPhones, for example, don't take the best photos, but on Instagram, every picture is taken with an iPhone in front of a mirror. And especially so that the logo can be seen Apple.
Do you have any research or is this your impression? Most of the time, only socks think about this.
Adam, poor limited sock and he doesn't speak Czech LOL
Pro Nostradamus, it's just like that, the vast majority wants Apple, because Apple…. but it's useless to write it here. Well, then there are people who just like it, or normal users…..
the more apples, the better...that's clear and who can resist that is not IN!!! I am happy to enjoy iphone 8 and watch 4, but I'm getting turned off by the blindness that JEN Apple is the BEST…except shit!
I guess. LIKE UP!
Either way Airpods are really below average in sound... and yes, I've been using them for two years now, so I can say that ;-)
They are practical, I always have them with me, they are great for cycling (I won't get hit by a car because I can hear it), although the sound is not great, I don't use any other headphones. Also ideal for phone calls.
And since when is the saleability of headphones related to their quality??? AirPods really perform quite poorly for their price and the fact that they sell like hotcakes is a matter of good marketing, nothing more (ok and the factor of being IN - although it has the opposite effect). So, even Buds didn't seem to me to be very good in terms of sound, but the price/performance ratio is quite good.
Which BT serviceschathow much better can I play for 4 liters?
For example, Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay E8
Those embarrassing Buds are already playing atonesynchone ?
You're embarrassing. AirDo pods play better than if you were to blast the music through a jackhammer?
Otherwise YES!
I think comparing these two products is like mixing pears and apples.
Airpods are more stylish and above all better and easier to wear. Call quality is also a big plus.
Galaxy buds they have a great price, good sound in the given category, wireless charging in every version. They work well, for example, with an iPhone :) and dampen the surrounding sound well.
AirPods (pods) are DEFINITELY not better to wear than earbuds. The APs kept falling out of my ears and as others have written here, the sound quality is not great, rather below average. But it is true that headphones around 3-5K will probably be similar. I have tru wirelles earbuds, controlled by touch, I think the price is around 4K and I was also surprised that they play how-NO! My old Sennheiser CX300 IIs play great, compared to them……
In addition, it is quite a FAIL - disgusting design, and for the second, any Chinese offers copies. So every time I see someone from vajglam, I think to myself that they have those Chinese shits for a few hundred anyway :-D
You see, I prefer AirPods precisely because they are the little things that I put in my ears and I don't have to insert them and keep fiddling with them. I also like the fact that they let in ambient sound, and I see their biggest advantage in the ease of switching between devices.
You... sound like you always look the best in the ear. 😜
I don't know any intelligent being who cares about how headphones, even wireless ones, look in their ears. After all, a billion times more important is how they play and how they control themselves, how long they last on one charge and so on.
What kind of opinion is that? People are also, for example, not guided only by how comfortable and how durable their... pants are, for example. There are tons of people who buy a pair of pants just because they like them. And so it is with everything, including headphones.
Mr.B: when I buy headphones, SOUND is first and foremost important to me. Then it's convenience. Then battery life if the headphones need it. I'm not really a bookworm who will decide how the headphones look. For a winter trek to the mountains, you won't take a beautiful jacket in which you will freeze. Or yes?
That was ironic, it worked! Nothing "design-wise" worse than AirI haven't seen Pods and their cheap Chinese clones that are everywhere. Two wiggles sticking out of their ears, perfection itself 😜😜😜
There are definitely better sounding wireless headphones on the market, mostly earbuds, because they have better sound characteristics than earbuds.
But no headphones have anything as balanced as AirSubs.
We have headphones with great sound, but a nasty, big box and no endurance. We have headphones that have an average sound with good durability, but a terribly ugly and large box. There are always some headphones that simply excel at something, but undermine themselves with the rest.
And again AirPods were revolutionary, I'm not saying they were the first, but in terms of all their features, none can match them.
No, has Galaxy Buds There's nothing wrong with them. Sony has an ugly box, but their sound is simply somewhere else. The box is not important.
I do not know, Galaxy Buds lasts about half as long as AirPods and they are still disgusting as hell... But I admit that this is subjective :-)
For some people, the box is important, for others, they just want to carry it in their pocket and don't want a big box there that would be inconvenient, but it's all about preferences. But if you look at all the aspects, AirPods are the best. And it's quite sad that over the years no one has made better headphones in all respects. The biggest drawback is the size of the box and if someone already has the same size box, the battery life is terrible :DA you wonder what the manufacturers have been doing for 3 years that they can't come up with better headphones.
Otherwise, I'll always prefer headphones with a lower quality, because I don't fit the plugs in my ears, it's very uncomfortable for me, so I'm dependent on the earbuds.
Is that in those photos a Chinese copy or an original 😜
I have it at home. Airpods i Buds, AirThe pods are significantly lacking in sound quality, they look like they are in my ear... I'd rather not say anything, it's probably "cool". My daughter wears them, but "flexi", I wouldn't put them in my ear.
Most of the people around me use AP more for calls than for listening to music, and the sound quality is not at all bad for casual listening somewhere on the street.
APs are fine for what they are intended for.
They are mostly criticized by people who have had them for a while. max once in the ear.
User experience is important to me, and that's ok.
I can agree, but the stuff coming out of the ear is just terrible….it looks weird.
Better than wires.
I don't think anyone else has uglier headphones than the ones I look like. airpody😃is the white color to highlight the abomination🤔they stare at everyone and think how cool they are😂it's like
The cable broke 😀
AirI can only compare the pods with Chinese copies and cheaper BT headphones and I have to say that they are terribly practical. The sound is not ideal, but what can you expect from a pair of headphones. No one buys them for the perfect sound. I had the opportunity to try them out before buying, so I knew what I was getting into. Today I can't imagine talking on the phone, taking public transport, working in the garden, riding a scooter, ... for me, practicality, simplicity andoneactivity and long range BT. ProFor everyday background music and phone calls, these are the best choice. When I want to enjoy high-quality music, I definitely reach for completely different headphones and, most importantly, I definitely don't play the music from my mobile phone...
Such an inflated price for completely average products can be defended in various ways. Try better headphones and a better quality mobile phone audio output. Apple hearing aids at that price are simply a stupid choice.
What other headphones will offer me fast and seamless switching between devices?
I got it AirI've had the Pods for the second year now and I have to say that I haven't had a better BT headset for my iPhone. There are many reasons, but above all it's the simplicity of how it works. Applu is – everything works perfectly. Pairing and connection stability are great. The headphones I had before had a problem when I had my phone in my pocket. I don't care about sound quality, I usually listen to podcasts or streamed music on the way to work, so you can't talk about any quality listening just because of the environment. And the fact that they are not soundproof or have noise cancEling is rather good for moving around the city. You don't completely lose touch with your surroundings. Yes, the price is a little off, but I don't regret a single crown spent.
Carve in stone.

Samsung galaxy buts are a little better sounding than Air Pods, but still from a price/performance perspective it's quite similar... Although Samsung is a little better... The best TWS headphones price/performance are QCY t1c, sound better than Air The pods, OK, they don't stop playing when you take them out of your ears, but you put them in the case and they turn off, you take them out of the case and they connect to your phone.onem, battery life 4,5 h, with the box 15 h, but the price… 900 CZK… I don’t understand why Air Pods, when you can buy a much cheaper product, which, well, won't be as great in terms of comfort, but it's definitely not as much of a difference as with Air No, Air Pods really aren't the best headphones on the market, the price of 2000 is OK for the added features, but it's really crazy. iPhone, iPad, Watch, for some Macs are fine, but for others Apple the products don't make sense to me.
why do you keep fixing the price? appleEither you have it and want it or you buy an android.. and disassemble the BT servicechatWhat do they play for four?
for A AP I don't have aptx or ldac.. for B everyone has a different ear – shape and especially I hear differently.. for C practically everyone doeschatka Tin Audi or KZ with BT module, both fit in your pocket and with the box..actually I'm not surprised if local listeners are fond of Koss Porta Pro or Beats by Drunk Hip Hop kkt..decent sound also depends on what you put into it - it's not really about mp3 or calls
This is not about price at all, I'm willing to pay more for headphones, but they have to be worth something. And the main thing about headphones is comfort, durability, sound. The comfort and durability of the AP meet, the sound...severely below average.
