Do Airpods 1St Gen Charge Wirelessly

I love my 1st Gen AirPods. They are so well designed and just work great! So great in fact, that I never upgraded to the 2nd Gen AirPods or the AirPods Pro. Now, the time has come for my 1st Gen AirPods to be retired with these new 3rd Gen AirPods. These new AirPods are everything I liked about the AirPods Pro, but better because I didn't want the ear tips. I love how the 1st Gen AirPods felt in my ears and after awhile, I would forget they are even in my ears. Using these new 3rd Gen AirPods for the first time, I noticed a HUGE difference in sound quality. These are on another level over the 1st Gen. They also connect instantly to my iPhone. The 1st Gen was never this fast and sometimes I even had to manually connect them to my iPhone using the Bluetooth settings menu. They feel just as good in the ear as the 1st Gen did and I really like the shorter stems. Overall, I am really impressed with the 3rd Gen AirPods and would highly recommend upgrading if you are still using the 1st Gen AirPods.

Makes much more sense than the 1st gen with the goofy charge port.

It's just a relief to charge this pen than the 1st gen in a weird position.

Delivered fast and early, better sound quality than first gen airpods. Bass is excellent. I barely ever have to charge them

Bought this for my wife to replace non-Sony charger and batteries for 1st gen Sony Alpha. So far: feels solid; the charge and battery capacity indicators are clear and helpful; and charge time on new batteries was short (just under an hour or so as indicated in other reviews). Hope it holds up but very happy out of the box. B&H customer service was great and shipping was super fast.

I have a 1st Gen Canon HD video camera and it only came with one battery (which looses charge quickly). This one holds for much longer. A great purchase!

Don't have to worry about out of battery is a great improvement over 1st Gen!

Replacing a 1st gen iPad. Apple makes the best, sturdiest products. I'm sure this 9th gen iPad will do as well as the 1st gen.

Well packaged, looks great and sounds really good with my Beam Gen 2. And easy to integrate wirelessly.

As I make lots of phone calls, the mic performance is the only thing I care about and I have gone through all the major earbuds on the market. If you own an Android device, look elsewhere as Airpods on Android sounds different, but for any iOS device, nothing beats Airpods. I currently own 2nd gen AirPods, 3rd gen AirPods, and Airpods Pro. The following experience is based on an iOS device. In a quiet environment, all three perform quite similarly. If I have to choose, Pro would be #1, followed very closely by the 3rd gen. Airpods Pro In a noisy environment, Pro is hit or miss. Pro's mic tries really hard to cancel every noise around you. When it works, your voice is very clear, but sometimes the mic randomly cancels your voice along with the noise. So when the other caller can hear you, they can hear you really well or hear nothing at all time to time. 2nd gen In a noisy environment, the mic picks up lots of noise and doesn't cancel along with your voice. The other caller can identify that you are in a noisy environment, yet you can continue the conversation without major distraction. 3rd gen Just like the 2nd gen, it picks up lots of noise around you but sounds a little crisper. After using the 3rd gen for a while, I went back to the 2nd gen and the other caller mentioned how muted I sounded. Case sizewise, 3rd gen is very similar to the 2nd gen but maybe 2-3mm wider and fatter. The Pro case is just the biggest of all. Overall, I would choose the 3rd gen for any phone calls and the Pro for any listening purposes. The 2nd gen is just great for the price.
