Apple Airpods Android equivalent?

Zascar · 2018-12-10 05:33:07

Pretty impressed by the Apple Airpods and wondering if there is an android equivalent? I hear the Jabras Elite 65t's are great but they are horribly ugly. Has any other manufacturer made something of similar style? I see there are some fake/clones on AliExpress that get half decent reviews from the YouTubers, but not sure…

Think you can use them with android, they are just bluetooth paired.

Got a cheap pair of wired ones to see how comfortable they are. They feel good in the ear and surprisingly stay in. Not too sure of the wireless version though, would hate to lose one.

I have them. Love them. I hate inear/ ear plug style all earphones seem to have these days. Whereas the airpods just sit in your ear.

Anyway they work fine on android !

One more for the table - Xiaomi AirDots (look very like the Apple ones) and are very well reviewed.

I hate the feel too. Fact about that style headphone they do not have the ability to reproduce bass accurately so they have to use occlusion and block other sounds out as to boost bass frequencies being reproduced and not have their bass sound so weak.
