Shipping 9/10
It took 14 days to ship to UK but, it most likely took that long due to strikes at royal mail which is alright.
Build quality 7/10
The hinge looks great but it is slighlty flimsy not that noticeable. The case quality feels great and so does the Airpods themselves.
Sound Quality 9/10.
The sound is really amazing. even without needing to adjust it, sounds great. I am genuinely really happy and think it is so worth the 50 dollars.
ANC 8/10
I do not have the real noise cancellation for comparision, But I've tested it out by putting cafe sounds in the background and people talking in the background. It does a great job of filtering the sounds making them so much quieter. Really happy with it.
Spatial Audio 7/10
The head tracking one is delayed by one second to your head movements. I dont see myself using it. As I prefer the music without it on.
Cons:
Sadly i cant get them to connect to my macbook which is very unfortunate as this was somewhat important to me. (if anyone has solutions, I'd highly appreciate them.
As I mentioned before. The lid is a bit flimsy. But not majorly.
As last things I wanna add.
I am genuinely impressed by them. I had much lower expectations and this just out blew them.
