Cost and Conclusion
Overall, AirPods offer seamless integration with Apple’s iPhone and iOS ecosystem — while an aesthetically beautiful design, technologies like the W1 chip and advanced, OS-level customizable controls make them a solid choice for die-hard Apple fans — even though they demand the premium price [~$147].
AirDots, although they seemingly fall short on design, comfort and general functionality metrics, are ultimately lauded as a “solid set of wireless headphones” offering “most of the features” AirPods offer, but for half the price [~$75.99].
