The following is simply a technical analysis of wireless earbud headphones, for the fun of technology, and to bring lighthearted interest to people in the midst of very serious times. We all need a breath of fresh air, and for those of us who enjoy electronics, perhaps this can be that for a moment, while understanding there is a God of grace who is our ultimate source of peace and consolation... Well, sometimes you have to try, try and try again. At least that is the case with me when it comes to trialing electronics. It has been tiring having headsets that people can't hear me well while on a call, or the background noise drowns out my voice...all just to have a very good quality music experience. So, I picked the brain of a very knowledgeable Best Buy associate, and through a lot of deliberation, discussing the current devices by Sony, Samsung, Bose and Jabra, we landed on Apple's AirPods Pro (identified as AirPods for remainder of this post).
