Apple’s AirPods have been the subject of confused fascination since they were announced alongside the iPhone 7 last week. Early reviews suggest that the AirPods offer one of the easiest ways to listen to music or take calls on your iPhone, thanks to Apple’s trademark focus on simplicity.
However, a few flaws have also been pointed out:
- They look weird in your ears, like electric toothbrush heads
- They will fall out of your ears and get lost immediately
Thankfully, Spigen is here to save the day with a cheap and simple solution to both of these problems: a strap. Take a look!
The idea here is pretty simple: add a light strap that firmly grips the base of each AirPod. That ensures that they can’t fall out of your ears, without getting in the way of the microphones at the tip or any other sensors. By keeping the AirPods in your ears, you’ll be able to avoid costly replacements — Apple is said to be charging a whopping £80 for each AirPod that you lose.
Once you want to start charging your AirPods, you can just wrap the Spigen Strap around the AirPods charging case. Its tangle-free design (and minimal length) ensures this takes minimal time and effort, in keeping with the overall philosophy of the AirPods.
As a nice side effect, your headphones also look much more normal, like Apple’s existing wired EarPods. Given the online reaction to their announcement, this is probably a good thing!
