Alright here we go, we’ve saved the best for last – of course! Although after reading through what the other guys have written up I have to say they’ve done an absolute cracker job and if you haven’t checked them out already I seriously encourage you to do so. Big thanks to Anthony, Pete & James for putting together some awesome ideas that’ll be sure to put a smile on someone’s face Christmas morning!<\/p>\n
OK, praise heaped upon, now rip them to shreds!! AirPods are junk, don’t buy them for anyone you really care about, they’re not worth it, especially if they’re an active. If you want great quality sound, prefer having an actual seal with well fitting in-ear headphones and the ease of use & battery life that Apple’s W1 chip provides then look no further than Beats’ Powerbeats 3<\/strong><\/a>. At A$229 they’re cheaper than AirPods too and for the active person with their over-the-ear hooks, will actually stay in your ears!<\/p>\n If you want to get really serious about headphones though look no further than Sony’s WH-1000XM2 wireless noise cancelling headphones<\/strong><\/a>. Forget Bose, forget Beats (seriously forget them the Powerbeats are the only decent headphones they make), these bad boys are by far the best sounding and performing noise cancelling headphones out there! They’d wanna be too, retailing for A$499 these definitely aren’t the cheapest ones out there but you’re getting what you pay for.<\/p>\n
