Which AirPods to choose and buy in 2024

Choosing headphones is not always an easy task, as everyone has different ears and sound preferences. Some models may be extremely comfortable, while others may be completely unbearable to wear, not to mention the sound quality, which will vary from model to model. Also, an important factor is that the cost of headphones can vary almost endlessly and Apple headphones are not the most budget-friendly option, but there are a number of reasons for this, at least because of the quality and premiumity of AirPods. In this article, we want to help you decide which Apple headphones to buy in 2024.
What kind of Apple headphones are there?
Apple has had three generational versions of the AirPods pocket headphones, all but the 3rd generation have a Pro version that comes out a few years after the first version of the headphones came out. For example, the 1st generation AirPods came out back in 2017, and their Pro version came out in 2019. The most recent headphones that have come out from Apple so far are the 2nd generation AirPods Pro, which came out in 2022. In addition to the above headphones, the company founded by Steve Jobs also has AirPods Max, which were released in 2020 and were the first full-size headphones from Apple.
AirPods differences and the right choice for your needs
I'd like to start by saying that all headphones from Apple are recognisable, well thought out and stylish. There are no bad headphones, there are those that may not suit you personally.
You should ask yourself a number of questions and try to answer them. For example, "Do I need full-size headphones?" - The answer to this question will at least narrow down the range of models you can choose from, as we've told you before that Apple has only one model of full-size headphones, the AirPods Max.
If you're leaning towards the pocket version of the headphones, then you need to understand whether you need vacuum headphones or not. After all, the AirPods with the Pro prefix at the end, all the earphones are vacuum earbuds. Here in terms of comfort for all people differently because of the difference in the structure of the ears, some people are comfortable even all day in vacuum AirPods, and some after an hour there is an unpleasant feeling. To summarise, comfort is a subjective thing due to the different ear structure of each person.
If we put comfort aside, vacuum earphones have one undeniable advantage, and that is noise isolation.
Not the very last point in choosing AirPods will be their cost. If you are one of those lucky people who don't look at price tags, there is a simple formula for you.
- You want full-size AirPods Max.
- Need a vacuum - AirPods 2 Pro.
- Don't need a vacuum - AirPods 3.
With this sequence of answers, you should go for the ones that came out later and have the latest technology and advantages over their predecessors.
If you're the type of person who wants to get premium sound from Apple, but save money, then we suggest looking at the AirPods 2. The first version of AirPods probably shouldn't be considered for purchase. They are relevant and good if you already have them and they work well. Otherwise, you should look at the newer models, as the sound quality is better and their support from Apple is more relevant.
We wish you the soonest purchase of long-awaited headphones, that the case would always be charged and that there would be no problems with finding a second headphone!
