I got the chance to test out a pair of AP2 and I like it in terms of sound quality and everything tech about it is brilliant. Now I’m an Apple user and it’s obviously the best option. I’m also an audio enthusiast and music producer so I’m usually into wired stuff which is usually better in terms of sound and future proof, but this pair really impressed me. Now I have mixed feelings and what’s keeping me from buying this headphones just yet is:

1. PRICE. It feels like a big price to pay despite all the features. There could be other options out there. And I’m not getting into wired territory. Also I feel like in this price range you can buy some over-ear headphones (wired or wireless). But still the convenience of AirPods full package.

2. BATTERY and RELIABILITY. So I’m thinking: Ok, I’m sold to the AirPods. But I’m not so pleased to think that these are a pair of headphones that will loose battery health over time. Long story short, we’re looking at a 250$ investment for basically 2 or 3 years max. By comparison I have some Audio Technica M50x for more than 8 years, and some wired EarPods for more than 3 years. On top of all they never ask me about battery.

3. WIRELESS technology versus WIRE. Wired is just better and more reliable but testing this pair of AP2 really convinced me. They are really balanced, nice bass and very good on stereo image. You really hear new elements in the songs you didn’t knew existed. Plus being untied from device you move more freely. But there’s a fact that scares me a little. Being a true wireless pair with the transmitter so close to you ear and brain, I don’t know how healthy and good are those EMF radiations. Of course, maybe moderation will make a difference. I don’t expect listening to them all day. I don’t know what you guys think about it but this isn’t something to ignore.

What do you guys think? Worth the investment? Are there alternatives?
