Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Lightweight
These come in at only 4 grams per earpiece. The absence of a connecting cable further minimizes the weight.
Pro True wireless
There is no band or cable connecting the earpieces. You won't have to deal with the noise caused by a cable rubbing against your clothes or body.
Pro Bass-light sound signature with good clarity
These headphones do produce some low-end, but the bass does not come with a lot of power and oomph. The highs and mids are good though. They are not too forward and present a nice level of clarity. Most genres of music will sound good with these, though bass heavy tracks like dance, hip-hop, EDM and the like may sound lacking.
Pro Easy to connect with Apple devices
Thanks to the proprietary connectivity chip used, the Airpods sync to Apple devices without a hitch. This is a noticeable advantage over many third-party wireless headphones where you might need to go through a lot of steps just to get them synced properly.
Pro Signal stability and quality is great
The signal cuts-off only on very few occasions. Generally, you should have a stable wireless listening experience. Also, there is no noticeable lag between what is happening on screen and when you get to hear the sound from these headphones when watching videos.
Pro Microphone sound quality is good
Voices sound clear and full so conversations will not be an issue.
Pro Powerful bass and boosted mids
Bass hits are powerful and sound full. The mids, specifically the high mids, are also boosted, which results in a thick and meaty sound. The highs are quite rolled-off though, which prevents these from sounding harsh.
Pro Decent battery life
Playback time is up to 3 hours from a full charge, which is decent considering the very small size of these earbuds.
Pro Case allows mobile charging
The Q29's case has an internal battery which can add up to 12 hours of extra playback time to the earbuds.
Cons
Con Limited controls
There are only two control gestures (double tap on either one of the two Airpods), which is enough for basic running (where you might only skip a song once in a while), but less than any other headphones with inline controls.
Con If you get sweaty ears, there is a good chance these will fall out
Con Bass may be too light
If you listen to a lot of bass heavy tracks or if you want all of your music to have great low-end punch then the bass reproduction may be too thin for you.
Con Hard to acquire
In most places of the world, you need to wait about 6 weeks to get your hands on these.
Con Audio cuts off regularly
The signal stability of the Q29 is not very good, and results in annoying, regular audio drops.
Con Sound can be too muddy
The low-end can be overpowering. Bass heads will find this sound to be okay, but those who want more sparkle from their music will most likely find the sound to be too dark.
