What's so special about Apple's wireless Airpods?

from Too Embarrassed to Ask · host Recode

Recode's Kara Swisher and The Verge's Lauren Goode debate the merits of Apple's new wireless earbuds, the Airpods. Designed to work across multiple Apple devices with less hassle than normal Bluetooth audio gear, the Airpods cost $160 and have to be charged in an included battery case — however, Goode said the case is a huge benefit because it makes the small earbuds harder to lose. She can't recommend the Airpods to everybody, but says they've proved useful in certain places, like the gym. Swisher, meanwhile, questions Apple's design decisions, saying the earbuds look more like white plastic earrings. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
