AirPods 2 vs XY pods

**The Great AirPods Clone Debate: Xy Pods vs Apple AirPods 2**

In the world of wireless earbuds, one question remains: do clones measure up to the original? In this review, we'll be pitting the Xy Pods against their iconic counterparts, the Apple AirPods 2. Which one will come out on top?

**The Verdict: Battery Life**

Firstly, let's talk about battery life. The Xy Pods definitely have a slight edge in this department, lasting around 20 hours compared to the AirPods 2's 18 hours. However, it's not by a landslide margin.

**Audio Quality**

Now onto the most important aspect: audio quality. In my opinion, the AirPods 2 undoubtedly sound better. They're crispier and fuller, with a more satisfying listening experience. The Xy Pods, on the other hand, aren't bad clones, but they don't quite live up to their predecessors' standards. They do have decent bass and volume levels, though.

**Testing Both Options**

Hayden will be putting both earbuds to the test in an upcoming review. Which one will he choose first? The AirPods 2, of course!

**The AirPods 2 Experience**

Upon trying out the AirPods 2, I was impressed with their sound quality, which is quite similar to the original AirPods. The case design is also a nice touch, allowing you to personalize it with your name.

**Testing the Xy Pods**

Now let's move on to the Xy Pods. Upon putting them in my ears, I noticed they sounded decent but had a slightly echoey quality to them. The voice assistant integration was also a bit jarring at first, but overall, the sound quality is passable.

**Comparing the Cases**

One notable difference between the two cases is the latch design. The AirPods 2 case has a more premium feel to it, while the Xy Pods' case is slightly cheaper-looking.

**Microphone Quality**

Both earbuds have good microphone quality. When testing them out, I was pleased with how clear and crisp my voice sounded on both devices.

**Features Comparison**

Let's talk about features. Both earbuds have wireless charging capabilities and automatic pairing. The AirPods 2 also boast a newer chip (H1) compared to the Xy Pods' W1 chip. However, it's impressive that clones like the Xy Pods can incorporate such advanced technology.

**Touch Features**

Both earbuds have touch features, which allow you to control your music playback and Siri interactions. The AirPods 2 give you more flexibility with their customizable touch controls (double tap, play/pause, next track, previous track).

**Automatic Pause and Siri Support**

One nice feature of the AirPods 2 is that they automatically pause music when removed from your ears. They also support Siri, so you can interact with her hands-free.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, while both earbuds have their strengths and weaknesses, the Apple AirPods 2 remain the better choice for audio quality and overall experience. However, the Xy Pods are still a viable option if you're on a budget or prefer a slightly longer battery life.

If you'd like to pick up either of these products, links will be provided in the description below.

**A Note on Giveaways**

In the future, I plan to have set dates for giveaways and more information will be shared on that soon. The website is currently being built, with scores to be added to reviews and made available on the site.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey what's up youtube welcome to the cusp of interest so today i'll be comparing the xy pods the apple airpods gen 2. i will be comparing these headphones in these specific areas packaging design connectivity battery audio quality my quality and features i will also leave the times of where they are in the video so if you want to see certain points you can jump around the video if you want if this video gets 1500 likes then i'll do a xy pods giveaway and if this video can get 5 000 likes then i'll do an airpods 2 giveaway alright getting right into the packaging the packaging looks very similar they both have images of the headphones on the front of the box the xy pods are slightly different with the name in the top left corner and some of the features in the bottom right corner of the front of the box looking at the back of the box they look pretty similar one thing i do need to point out is the airpods 2 box is really high quality much higher quality than the xy pods box opening the two boxes at the same time you are greeted immediately with the headphones for the xy pods for the airpod twos you are greeted with the startup card thing then after that you get the headphones after you take out all the stuff for the xy pause you get the manual and the charging cable after taking out the headphones for the airpods you get the charging cable and that's pretty much everything for the packaging now for the design the case seems to be the exact same dimensions the case color seems to be the exact same on the xy pods and the airpod 2s the xy pod lid on mine seems slightly off centered i'm not sure if that's just a mess up on my version or that's how they are on all the xy pods on the front of the xy pods there's a button that is used to enable the charging and right above that button there's little blue led that tells you in case is charging the led on the air pods is below the lid and below that there's an area for a free engraving i had my channel name engraved on there the weight of these is very similar i would definitely say the airpods are slightly heavier though they do both have wireless charging they both do charge with apple's proprietary lightning port one thing i did notice is the metal ring around the port is much wider on the xy pods also when you plug the charger into the xy pod the cable doesn't go as far into the case like the airpods now for the earbuds themselves they are very similar in size the hole where the touch functions are located on the xy pods is slightly lower than the one on the airpods there is no sensor dot on the outside part of the headphones on the xy pods but there is on the airpods on the inside part of the headphones the grilles are the same and they do have the same sensors on this side the headphones charge with different methods both charge from the bottom but in a manner that is different the xy pods have two copper conductor points and the airpods have two strips at the bottom that conduct electricity through there they look pretty similar though they are even close enough to fit in each other's case now for the connectivity all right so i'll be comparing the distance that these can go from the phone these are the apple airpods gen 2 and these are the xy pods and so i'll be testing that and yeah if you have any suggestions to make this test more scientific uh please leave them in the comments and yeah all right so i have the airpod twos in my ears right now and i'll see how far they can go from the phone and so yeah let's start the test so i'll leave them both here and see how far i can go all right so these are the xy pods and i'll be seeing how far i can go from the phone with them in my ears the phone will be right here and i'll be seeing how far i can go that way and yeah let's go alright so i've seen some of your comments and one thing that you guys were asking me is to test they have video lag like there's lag between the bluetooth so like if you were watching a video or a movie the words wouldn't match up because it was slightly delayed and what i can conclude is from my testing of the two neither of them have video lag this one the airpods sounded exactly like if you were listing it from your phone and same with the xy pods they had no video lag and yeah another thing that you guys asked is can they connect to androids and so they both can connect to androids but when you connect your airpods to android you have to download a separate app or else the volume won't go all the way up or something like that but yeah now for the battery life the airpod 2s can get five hours of audio playback on one charge and three hours of talk time on one charge they also get an extra 24 hours with the case now for the xy pods they can get around 3.5 hours of audio playback in an extra 20 hours with the case the airpods definitely win in the battery area but not by too much now for the audio quality in my opinion the airpods definitely do sound better they're just more crisp and they just sound more full the xy pods aren't the best clone i've ever heard but they still sound decently good they have pretty good bass and are very loud they are still a pretty good option alright so hayden's gonna be trying out the xy pods versus the airpod twos and he's gonna see how they sound yeah which one are you doing first the airpod twos all right yeah they sound pretty good it's like regular airpods pretty good sound quality and everything like that you like the case yeah like how you can put your name on the front whatever you want and the rest is just like their pod one case with this led light these are the xy pods trying those ones out they sound pretty good besides they're a little echoey when you listen to them and at the start the voice control thing is a little ear rape but besides that they're pretty identical in the case too well can't really tell the difference do they feel which one like in comparison this latch is a little cheaper but in comparison they're like both the same weight unlike other fake ones the faker ones are super light now for the mic quality all right so these are the xy pods and this is the my quality you can expect from these they are just in my ears right now as is how as if i would be talking on a phone call or anything like that and yeah this is the kind of my quality you can expect testing one two three these are the xy pods all right so these are the air pod gen twos and they're in my ears right now just like i'd be talking on the phone or anything like that and this is the my quality you can expect from them so yeah testing one two three these are the apple airpods gen 2 my quality all right now for the features they both have wireless charging they both pair automatically the air pods too have a newer chip than the xy pods they have the h1 chip while the xy pods have the w1 chip it's still impressive to have that kind of chip in a clone though they do both have touch features and this is what they are for the xy pods short press on either side to play or pause the music or to answer or hang up calls long press on either side to wake up siri double click on the right side to increase the volume triple click on the right side go to the next song double click on the left side to decrease the volume and triple click on the left side to go the previous song the airpods twos do also have touch features too you can choose what you want your touch features to be you are only limited to double taps on each side but you can change them in the settings and your options are to go to siri to play or pause music to go to the next track to go to the previous track or just turn off the touch features also for the airpods when you pull them out of your ears they automatically pause music airpods too have siri support so when you say hey siri with them in your ears siri will wake up and do what you need her to do the xy pods have a button that is used to enable the charging on the case these headphones really aren't that different at all they have a lot of things similar about them and yeah if you'd like to pick up any of these products the links will be in the description i think i need to improve the giveaway situation i think i'll be having set dates in the future when i'll be doing the giveaways and there'll be more information on that to come in the future and this is just an update on the website i've begun building the site and i'll soon be adding scores to my reviews then adding them to the site if you have
