Bluetooth Headphone showdown


BlueTooth Showdown

Apple Airpods vs. Beats X Wireless headphones





I am a huge fan of Apple devices. I must admit before February of this year I was not a fan of Bluetooth headphones. Why? They seemed inconsistent with limited range. Although even my old ones from 2012 had amazing sound. My 2016 ones were dope too but they broke. Albeit those headphones wer like 15 dollars

In February of this year I say lemme get the Beats X wireless headphones from Best Buy. I love Best Buy…its my 2nd home lol. Luckily they were on sale for just $90 instead of $150. I love them. They work like regular wireless headphones but they have the W1 chip which means they connect to Apple devices very easily. And switching between devices is simple too! The Beats X are just great. They come with lots of accessories too like a charge cable (lighting) and different ear buds and sports buds.

Recently I got greedy and got the Apple Airpods. They are frigging awesome. There’s so much technology packed into these little things. If you raise them to your ear they start playing music or whatever your listening to. Take one off or both and it will stop. Also if you tap them you can access Siri or do next track. Its up to you…since they are customizable. Also they have the aforementioned W1 Chip.



So we’ve seen what they can both do. So its time to give them both a score to determine which is the best. Lets refer to the table.

Okay so first we’ll look at Design. Airpods get a slight edge here for not having no wire. Battery Life is easily won by Beats X. They have about twice as much battery, plus they can get like half there power back in 5 mins of charging! The sound quality for both are great but neither has much bass. The airpods can be programmed and the Beats X have additional earbuds and earhooks…but I give the edge to the Airpods. And finally I feel all things considered the way the airpods charge via charger case is just so cool.

In Conclusion both of these are great Bluetooth headphones, but the Apple Airpods are just something we haven’t seen before. So I give the Beats X a 9.2/10. However the Airpods I give a 9.5/10…

APPLE FOREVER!

My Top Rappers of All Time List

30) Rick Ross (7.7) Essential Album: Teflon Don Starting off the list is Ricky Rossay. Ross has great delivery and a lot of good albums. He scores really high in the versatility category. Ross’s pen game has definitely gotten better from when he debuted in 2006 with Port of Miami. Ross’s biggest flaws were his storytelling and impact. Otherwise solid MC.     29) Young Jeezy (7.8) Essential Album: The Recession Another dirty south MC. Jeezy is one of my favorite rappers. He has a lot of good albums with no real duds. He does have the best ad libs in the game. His collaboration and versatility are high. He really brings the heat on his features. Storytelling and Impact weren’t that high but hey; hes tied with the next rapper.   28) Nicki Minaj (7.8) EA: The Pinkprint Arguably the most dominant female rapper of all time. Nicki really shines when features on others tracks. She usually steals the show like on Kanye West’s “Monster” song. She’s also really versatile; able to sing also and

My Favorite R&B Albums (as 2023 list)

Here are my favorite R&B albums. I'm not gonna do the countdown....I'm just going to list them. The last time I did a list like this was 2013. 1.       Rihanna-Good Girl Gone Bad- As her best album and the album that made her a star…it’s only right that as my favorite singer Rihanna takes the title. GGGB isn’t a perfect album but I love it. There’s a little something for everyone here. The smooth “Lemme Get That”, the party anthem “Don’t Stop the Music”, and the jam “Umbrella” featuring Jay-Z. “Hate that I love You” featuring Ne-Yo is really good too. This album is just always a blast to listen to. 2.       Amerie-In Love & War- When I made this list about 10 years ago, this was the number one album. I love this album so much. I was considering her “Because I Love it” album for this list too, but I don’t really go back to that one that much. This album is just a flamethrower of R&B execution. That first half is great with songs like : “Heard Em All”, “Why R U”, and

My Favorite Rap Albums (As of 2024) List

1.       Kanye West-Graduation -Coming in at number one we have Kanye’s 3 rd  album. Sure it’s not his best or flashiest but damnit I love it so much. Listening to this album just gives me so much joy honestly. “Champion” is a great song, then there’s a fan favorite pick “I Wonder”. I do think the lyrically dense “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” is the best track. Who could forget the smooth “Flashing Lights”. It really amazing that Kanye was able to create another great soundscape that sounded very different than College Dropout and Late Registration. Honestly this album isn’t my favorite by leaps and bounds over the top 10; but its certainly still my favorite rap album. 2.       Ludacris-Word of Mouf- Coming in at number 2 is Ludacris. I think this album is his best while others may say Release Therapy or Chicken & Beer. Fun fact this was the first album I ever bought. Sure there’s some filler…but this album has a lot of Ludacris’s best tracks on it. There’s “Rollout”, “Move Bitch”, “Area
