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!

Album Review: Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign-Vultures 1

 This album review is way overdue. I've had a long time to sit with the album....I really liked it at first but it hasn't really aged as well as other Kanye projects. Kanye's lyricism has taken a noticeable decline. I mean hes not horrible but alot of these bars are bad or tasteless. Ty Dolla $ign on the other hand does a great job on pretty much every track. The production though, as with most Kanye albums is really good.   Some of it was reminiscent of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy or Yeezus. There are a few guest spots and most are well used. Hearing Kanye's daughter, North West, on "Talking"is cute. Freddie Gibbs steals the show on the hilarious "Back to Me". "Carnival" is a certified hit which features Playboi Carti & Rich the Kid. Overall most of these songs are good but I cant say this really adds much to Kanye's illustrious discography. Lyrics 19 Beats 23 Depth 22 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

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

Video Game Review: Jedi Survivor

 About a week ago or so I beat Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Im so happy I got a chance to play it cause they put it on PS4....yes I sadly as of early 2025 do not have a PS5 yet. But anyways I thought the game was considerable improvement over Jedi Fallen Order in most ways.  The game is set a few years after the end of the first game. One thing I like is you keep all your Jedi techniques from the first game Jedi Fallen Order. You can force push and pull and double jump right from the jump. Early in the game you also get access to a new lighstaber form dual wield. In this game there are 5 lightsaber forms. Single is good in any situation but not the best for ideal situations. I think double bladed has good defense but low range. Dual wield is fast but has low defense. Later on you get access to a blaster form which has great range. Then there's the Cross-guard which is Kylo Ren's lightsaber form...its slow in this game but has high damage and defense to it. The enemy variety in the...
