In a world full of AirPods and wireless headphones, I still use this pair of wired EarPods in 2025 and the million dollar question is why?

after watching this video, you'll start to understand what I mean when I say that AirPods are better than AirPods Reason number one they don't fall out of your ears.

The amount of real life scenarios I've heard of people losing one or both AirPods when doing generic tasks like jogging, studying, or even just shopping is insane.

Once that AirPod drops the floor, you may as well call it a day, because finding that thing is not only a challenge itself, but

it will likely be damaged and you'll waste a lot of time in the process.

On the other hand, AirPods won't fall out because they're practically stuck to you with the cable being plugged into your device.

Losing AirPods is a bigger challenge than finding the missing AirPod, so if you're someone who's on their third pair of AirPods, these aren't a bad choice.

Reason 2 Price AirPods are significantly cheaper than AirPods with first gen AirPods being 90 pounds to the latest being 230 pounds.

Not only will it cost you a kidney to replace if you lose or break them, but

buying them in itself will leave a mark on your bank account and probably your who in their right mind willingly wants to spend 200 pounds on AirPods that you'll likely end up losing.

However, AirPods are priced at 20 pounds.

Even if they were to break, you can buy up to 12 pairs for the same price as AirPods.

So if you're on a tight budget and need a pair of headphones, picking up a pair of these will do you justice.

Reason 3 they look good I remember when AirPods were first announced, every meme page on Instagram was mocking people for wearing AirPods and making memes of how stupid they looked.

Fast forward a couple years later and everyone seems to love how they look.

AirPods may have grown on me and they don't look as awful as they did.

But AirPods have that unique feeling to them, which is hard to put in words.

It's similar to buying an older spec version of something because the newer spec although is nicer and feels better.

The older one just has that feeling to it that can't be replaced.

It even looks good when you wear them properly.

And was it just my high school or did you also have drip when you wore them like this?

All in all, they look good and I would choose them over AirPods any day of the week.

Reason 4 Sound quality it's proven that AirPods sound the same and if not better than AirPods, the wired connection means they can transfer more data with ease.

You are still missing out on features such as spatial audio and noise cancellation, so the AirPods do lose some points there.

However, the overall sound quality is much more crisp and clear, so it's really just a trade off that varies amongst us since everyone has their own purpose for headphones.

Seriously though, the sound quality is brilliant and I'm not exaggerating when I say this.

Reason 5 USB C if you didn't know, AirPods also come in USB C instead of lightning.

Not only can you use it with your later iPhone models such as the 15 and 16, you can also plug them into most devices such as your Mac and PC since they will have a USB C input.

USB C is definitely the future, so huge props to Apple for releasing these because I did not expect this at all.

This is the same company that removes chargers from their boxes.

Reason 6 Mic Quality because of the physical mic on the AirPods, the mic quality will always be unmatched and superior to AirPods.

AirPods have a built in mic in each AirPod and sure it may be clear, but

the AirPods are not only clearer but they're also less delayed because of the wired connection.

If you're a heavy caller and always seem to run into issues with people not being able to hear you properly, the AirPods are a great choice.

Okay guys, so I'm talking using the mic now and you can already tell that it's way, way better than AirPods.

And have you ever been on a call with someone with AirPods and then out of nowhere they just sound like they're in a jar?

anyone who I know who has AirPods they sound like they're in a jar most of the time.

The ease of simply plugging them in and using them without having to worry about whether they have juice or not has to be one of the most underrated feelings ever.

You can really feel the difference when you switch wireless headphones to AirPods, so I recommend you at least give it a try before backing down.

Reason 8 Zero Latency as you may have realized, the AirPods wired connection means absolutely no delay or lag between how fast you hear audio when it comes to calls, editing or gaming.

This is very useful because you hear audio in real time as it's being played on your device.

Wireless headphones are always going to have some sort of delay purely because of Bluetooth, but

with wired connection you don't need to worry about any form of lag.

So the next time you're filming a TikTok and wonder why it isn't in sync, just know that it's the airpods feeding you delayed sound.

That is going to be the end of today's video.
