I was starting to feel a bit guilty here.

You know, I'm just being honest.

I'm being transparent in front of me.

I mean, you know this product, this product became such a mean, like it's crazy how it picked up steam after the fact after it came out.

I mean, when it came out, there were jokes about it.

There was a lot of talk about a little dental floss.

Like I said, he's almost exactly like a dental floss case.

What does it think it's doing?

What does it think it is?

Why does it have $160 price take?

This is, of course, the Apple Airpods.

Now, when that came out, I made some comments.

You know, I was like, I don't really like this thing that much, not getting a ton of volume now.

It's probably better for my hearing in the long run, but I like it.

I like a thug to it.

You know, sound quality's not there.

There's not a lot of isolation.

I can say the sound.

I'm not happy with sound.

The convenience is an A plus, though it's just we better head phones out there and way better value out there.

So I kind of said that in that video, and I continued to say that for a little while.

But these things, they somehow they stuck around, they were in my bag from time to time.

They were at home, they went a few places with me.

And so the problem with that is I started thinking I told people I don't really like these things, but here I am using them.

I felt like I had to sit down and just said it straight.

I've been using the air pots and kind of enjoying it.

I have some reasons for it.

They are not perfect.

They're still not great.

And I still would not recommend them at this price point for both people that are in the headphone market looking for some new headphones, I still wouldn't, but yes, I reached for these things frequently, and in most circumstances I actually prefer them to other headphone options.

Even though I don't use an iPhone, what is?

It's as 10 right now.

But even before that, with one plus, and as I mentioned before with the laptop, So what is it what's special about these woman.

Apple really did something here in terms off the package in terms of fit and finish the scale, the convenience factor.

Never mind sound isolation base.

It's not here, all right, That's not what these things are right now you're saying way to sink their headphones.

How can you not evaluate them on those parameters?

I do a lot of listening to spoken word audio podcasts, and that's where these things really shine is you just need some audio wirelessly in a very small package that's convenient.

Charged up fits in your pocket.

There's really not a great alternative that I'm yet aware of.

Now there are other products that are fully wireless, like this have little charged cases.

I've talked about them.

Some of them have features better than what's offered on here.

But they all give up a little something.

For example, the wireless earbuds style that sits further in the ear.

Improvement in sound quality, improvement and sound isolation.

But the problem in and out function you pop it in.

It's a bit of a crank.

You kind of get it set in there.

This guy over here, it's a riel.

It's a casual endeavor.

It's like it's like nothing.

What did you say?

Okay, cool.

See you later.

Now, this year, but is not gonna fit everyone.

And it looks wacky and wonky.

And when you see him out in public, you're like, Who does this guy think he is?

You can't help it.

For whatever reason, this is the design.

We're just having to live with it.

But that design gives you some positive aspects, like the form factor.

Like I said earlier, this is tiny.

I need to give you a warning here, even though this is a confession video about me actually using these things, however reluctantly, there have been circumstances where these were in my bag and I wanted to die.

There was a time in a coffee shop, for example.

There was an obnoxious conversation going on over my shoulder.

It was Yeah, yeah, go on, go.

I was dying.

And since they do very little toe, isolate external noise, there was nothing I could do about it.

Couldn't crank him up any more similar circumstances.

Where I have access to real noise canceling headphones like Sony's, I can't hear anything.

The conversation behind me doesn't matter at all.

So these air not a replacement for that.

But somehow, some way in so many circumstances, I just end up reaching for these.

And I felt that it was important to let you know.

Now the real question is, at this point, what's Apple going to do for version number two?

I think the popularity of this product possibly even surprised them.

Still not certain exactly why I keep reaching for these, but it's the truth.

I do, and you deserve the truth.
