I've used AirPods for the last month - here are 6 things Apple should do with its next pair
Hollis Johnson/Business Insider
They're lightweight, they're remarkably easy to pair with an iPhone, and they're one of two truly wireless earphones I've used that can hold a Bluetooth connection without totally freaking out.
They work.
You'd be surprised at how few wireless headphones you can say that about.
Still, I'd have a hard time recommending them to non-tech-enthusiasts. Though the AirPods are better than most of their fully wireless peers, they can't totally escape feeling like a test run.
Most of the deepest flaws should improve over time - forthcoming Bluetooth updates should bolster battery life and smooth out what connection issues are left. And while Siri is bad, it's a larger project that Apple has plenty of incentive to improve.
There are other, more design-centric issues, though, that Apple can address if it wants the AirPods to be a more polished, consumer-friendly product.
Here's a few I'd like to see in the future.
