Jaromir Miko umphumela we-iPod, umphumela we-iPhone, umphumela we-iPad. Futhi manje sesingangeza enye emthelela we-Apple ezigabeni ezahlukahlukene zama-electronics, kulokhu okubizwa ngokuthi umphumela we-AirPods. Imikhiqizo eminingi ye-Apple inesici esiyingqayizivele. Ekuqaleni babhekana nokuhlekwa usulu kumakhasimende nabaqhudelana nabo, kodwa-ke abaningi bakhuthazwa yile mikhiqizo futhi amakhasimende afuna indlela okungenani yokuthola ikhophi ye-iProduct esetha ukuthrenda kwakamuva.
Ama-AirPods awahlukile, ekuqaleni aqhathaniswa nezinamathiselo zezixubho zikagesi, ama-tampons, futhi abanye baze bakwazisa ukuthi i-Apple izokudayisela ama-headphone ngaphandle kwentambo futhi kufanele uyithenge ngokuhlukana nge-$ 10 eyengeziwe. Ugqozi oluvela ku-adaptha ye-headphone ene-jack 3,5 mm yokuxhuma ku-iPhone 7 kusobala kuleli cala.
Igalari yezithombe
Uma ngikhuluma iqiniso, lapho ngibona okokuqala ukuthi i-Apple empeleni yayiyisusile i-jack 7mm ku-iPhone 3,5, angizange ngijabule ngempela ngesinqumo njengomnikazi wamahedfoni anentambo akwaSony. Nokho, ngemva kweminyaka embalwa, lawa ma-headphone ayeka ukusebenza kimi futhi mina, njenge-Mohican yokugcina ekhulwini lama-21, ngafuna enye indawo, ekuqaleni ikhebula. Benginokucwasa okwesikhathi eside kumahedfoni angenantambo ngomsindo wawo, kodwa ubuchwepheshe buye bavela ngaleso sikhathi, futhi lapho umngane wami engiboleka ama-AirPods akhe amasha imizuzu embalwa, ubandlululo lwami lwasuswa ngokoqobo. Futhi ngakho-ke ngokushesha ngaba umnikazi wama-AirPods amasha. Hhayi mina kuphela, kodwa njengoba ngibonile, ngaleso sikhathi cishe wonke umuntu engangimazi noma engangimbona wayenazo. Ngakho-ke i-Apple inesinye isenzakalo esikweletini sayo.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Pavel Jelic Vele, bekungekho kuphela abasebenzisi bamahedfoni asekuqaleni, abantu nabo baqala ukuqongelela amakhophi noma izixazululo ezincintisanayo ezifana ne-Samsung Galaxy Buds noma i-Xiaomi Mi AirDots Pro. Kodwa-ke, akubanga yi-CES 2020 lapho amandla e-Apple aboniswa khona ekubonisweni okugcwele. Izinkampani i-JBL, i-Audio Technica, i-Panasonic, kodwa ne-MSI ne-AmazFit zamukele izivakashi embukisweni ngezimpendulo zazo kuma-AirPods nama-AirPods Pro, ngokulandelana.
Iningi lama-headphone abelana ngomklamo ofanayo jikelele, futhi ikesi lokushaja eliphathwayo lijwayelekile ngemodeli ngayinye, kodwa liyahluka kwezinye izici nempilo yebhethri, okusishiya nabakhiqizi bedumela elihlukahlukene eliqhudelanayo ukuletha ama-AirPod angcono emakethe kunama- abaqotho bakwa-Apple.
Ngokulandelana, okuhamba phambili okuhamba phambili kanye ne-trend-setter yi-AirPods Pro eyethulwe ngonyaka odlule ngamapulaki ashintshwayo kanye nokucindezelwa komsindo okusebenzayo. Lokhu kungaphezu kokwengezwa kwephothifoliyo kunomunye umkhiqizo woguquko, kodwa isidingo sawo sikhulu futhi noma ngabe uwa-oda ngeSitolo Se-inthanethi manje, i-Apple izokulethela yona ngenyanga.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Isikhathi sokulethwa kwezimbangi ezisanda kwethulwa naso asisona esifushane kakhulu. Umkhiqizo wakuqala osemajukujukwini ama-headphone e-ANC e-1More True Wireless asekelwa ukushaja okungenantambo, i-AptX kanye nempilo ephelele yebhethri yamahora angu-22 kuye ngokuthi ukukhanselwa komsindo kucushiwe. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, okwakamuva futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo umkhiqizo obiza kakhulu owethulwe yi-Klipsch T10 ngenani elikhulu lama- $649. Umkhiqizi uwachaza njengama-headphone alula futhi amancane kunawo wonke ake anesistimu yokusebenza eyakhelwe ngaphakathi yezwi nokuthinta komzimba.
Kodwa kungani abakhiqizi begxila kuma-headphone, kodwa hhayi emabhokisini okusakaza afana ne-Apple TV? Kungenxa yokuthi i-Apple isiphinde yakwazi ukuguqula umkhiqizo osuvele uvele ube yinto emisha ebonakalayo kanye nokumaketha okuqinile. Lokhu kubonakale ekudumeni okukhulu, ngenxa yalokho, ngokusho kwabanye abahlaziyi, ama-AirPods angaziqhayisa ngemali efanayo noma ephakeme ngonyaka odlule kunezinkampani zonke ezifana ne-Twitter noma i-Snap, Inc., esebenzisa i-Snapchat. Futhi lesi futhi isizathu esenza ezinye izinkampani ziqale ukubona ama-headphone angenantambo njengemayini yegolide.
Amapulagi e-ANC aqale ukudayiswa kusukela ngoJulayi futhi ayikho neze inkinga ngokutholakala kwawo. Awudingi nje ukugcizelela uhlobo lwe-Apple, futhi ngemali efanayo uthola umsindo ongcono kakhulu, impilo yebhethri nama-codec esimanje.
