This year, AirPods will celebrate its sixth anniversary – not an anniversary, but a solid date. Over the years, headphones have become popular despite their cost. Now the most affordable AirPods 2 cost around 12 thousand, although a year ago they could be easily purchased for 10 thousand rubles, and in 2018 many even managed to buy 1st generation AirPods for 9 thousand. Because of their popularity in society, there are always a lot of rumors, just like around the iPhone. It seems it’s time to figure out which claims about AirPods are dubious and which have a rational grain.
How bad are AirPods?
There are still rumors that AirPods can be harmful to health, namely, cause brain damage due to Bluetooth technology. At one time, a trend appeared on TikTok, why you should abandon AirPods: according to the authors, low-frequency radiation comes from headphones. Allegedly, all due to the fact that the headphones are in the ears, close to the brain, and even cause cancer. There is no need to panic: scientists and health officials said that the accusations are baseless, and AirPods are not harmful to health .
If any radiation comes from AirPods, then we are talking about non-ionizing. It comes from many gadgets: routers, phones, microwave ovens. The transmission power of such a signal depends on the distance, and Bluetooth has a fairly small radius of radiation. Another thing is that AirPods can be a source of headaches that arise due to the abuse of headphones for a long time and at high volume.
Fake AirPods
We already wrote that modern AirPods fakes are indistinguishable from the original. In any case, outwardly, for sure. Unless you’re a music fan, you probably won’t even notice the difference in sound. It turns out that a fake can not be distinguished from the original at all? And here it is not.
According to research results, counterfeit AirPods have proven to be too unhealthy. The sound level in such headphones is much higher than in real AirPods, and the sound quality leaves much to be desired: constant whistling, grinding and other distortions – for this reason, it is better to overpay for a certified original than to buy a cheap fake.

Do I need to keep my AirPods in a case all the time?
Many believe that AirPods with lithium-ion batteries should not be constantly in the charging case, because it is harmful. The same AirPods do not have a power button and actually work all the time. Without a case, the headphones will remain on and begin to discharge, and the charge will drop because AirPods do not “fall asleep”.
Therefore, you don’t need to invent a bicycle and it’s better to store AirPods in a case: in it, the contacts of the case and headphones touch, and after closing the lid, the device goes offline, charging up to 100%, remaining in standby mode. A detailed description is on the Apple website. Therefore, the headphones in the case will last longer than AirPods without them, and certainly will not be lost.
