I swapped my Shokz for the Apple Airpods 5 on my runs — here’s 4 things I love, and 2 I don’t
I love running with the Apple AirPods 5, which allow for some awareness while offering great sound quality, but the fit won’t work for everyone.
When swapping from Shokz OpenDots 2 to Apple AirPods 5 for running, there are several factors to consider. The AirPods 5 offer several advantages, such as comfortable and secure fit, improved sound quality, and better noise cancellation. They also boast an IP57 rating for water resistance, making them more durable against sweat and rain.
However, there are downsides as well. Battery life is shorter compared to other headphones, with only five hours of playback with ANC or transparency mode and 22 hours total. The fit may not be secure for everyone, and the overall experience can vary depending on the shape of one's ear. Additionally, while they do a good job of reducing background noise, they are not as effective as some other headphones in this regard.
