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!

Kanye West 2 Part-Post (Revised Top Songs & Album Ranking)

1.       Gold Digger- To be honest, I didn’t like this song the first time I heard it. The beat is so infectious, and the lyrics are so clever, and that hook. Its his best song to date! He raps about a gold digging chick lol. 2.       All Falls Down- Kanye is extremely introspective on this song. The hook and beat make it great. This is ranked so high because it was the song that really propelled him to superstardom in 2004. 3.       Jesus Walks- A controversial song about Jesus being with those in need. Its just plain awesome. But I wouldn’t expect him to make a JW2 lol. Not in a million years. 4.       Can’t Tell Me Nothing- The best song on Graduation is dope. It’s a dark sounding banger. Kanye drops lyrical gems here. The Jeezy sample and the other sample are pure genius. 5.       Power- The aggressive first single to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy...

Album Review: Kid Cudi-Insano (regular version)

 I gotta admit I didn't like this album that much when I first heard it over half a year ago. I've heard that Kid Cudi doesn't exactly play to his strengths....that's partly true. I do like his rapping here tho. Honestly most songs here kinda blend together....."Keep Bouncin'" is really hype....and it gets the album off to a good start. "At The Party" with Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott may be my favorite song. "Wow" with A$AP Rocky is another highlight. Overall tho I feel this album tries too hard to be trendy. Cudi needed to put more of his pain into it. I mean a happy Cudi album isn't a bad thing but it really seems odd to me. You're not getting alot of singing or hums here know what I mean? However the production I found to be very good. Cudi is one of my favorite rappers like top 20 and I guess this will do for 2024. Lyrics 20 Beats 23 Depth 21 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Album Review: Schoolboy Q-Blue Lips

 Ok I am a big Schoolboy Q fan. I gotta say I love this album...but believe it or not what kept me from getting it till fall 2024 was that horrendous album artwork lol. I mean damn its gross! Schoolboy has some great flows and lyricism on this album. "Thank god 4 me" is absolute flames. "Blueslides" is another highlight. There's something about the song "first" that is just so catchy to me. "Yern" is also pretty hard man. The guest list is minimal but it works. The production is really good here too. The album isn't quite as good as Blank Face to me but its definitely a major improvement over his last album Crash Talk. Definitely check this one out. Lyrics 24 Beats 23 Depth 23 Tilt 23 Verdict 93
