From sharing songs to providing a longer battery life, Apple was ecstatic to share the updated gen 2 AirPods. They’re loaded with improvements compared to the original earbuds. The H1 chip should lend itself to some great applications such as launching Siri all hands-free. But, consumers are wondering if these upgrades are enough. With so many wireless earbuds on the market, it’s clear Apple needs to up its standards if it wants to take the top slot.

While the AirPods are a status symbol among many, it’s more to do with the brand than the technology. In fact, they could use a few more features to be considered the best. We’re talking about noise-cancellation technology and a sleeker overall design. After all, they’re competing with audio giants such as Bose and Sony who long ago mastered the craft of on-the-go audio systems.

Even so, an Apple device doesn’t make it to market without passing rigorous testing in both function and design. AirPods are still a great buy if you are looking to connect your Apple ecosystem of devices. And, if you’re looking for ways to make them even better, here are some of the best AirPods accessories.
