Apple Airpods

Greetings and Happy Spring! The temperature in the Atlanta area has been a sheer delight for exercising outside. We really enjoyed trying out new (to us) trails at Kennesaw Mountain this past weekend.

I couldn’t help raving about the official arrival of spring. However, this post focuses on wireless earphones. Last year I purchased a pair at a VERY low price. In quick order, I determined I’m not a fan of the short cord going around the back of my neck. I found it nerve racking. At present, the earphones are sitting in a box. The Apple Airpods held appeal as they are truly wireless and will play nicely with my other devices. However, as you certainly know, the Airpods do not have a very low price. Though it goes against my general philosophy, I purchased a pair.

Out of the gate I have been very pleased with the product. It was never my intention to wear them while running as I am adamantly opposed to running with a phone. I rarely carry my phone, I can’t image lugging the thing along for one of my sacred activities, exercising.

Many folks keep asking if the Airpods stay in place while running. I wondered as well. So, I ran 4 miles on a treadmill with them. For the record, I watched a learning company lecture with my IPad during the runJ. The Airpods worked perfectly and never budged. Just for fun, on another occasion I wore them and completed a high intensity cardio workout, which included a lot of jumping and burpees, for 45 minutes. Again, the Airpods stayed in place and the sound worked well.

I imagine people who are phone and music power users will really like the Airpods if the price point is within their budget.

Wired or Wireless. Run.
