AirPods review roundup: A nice idea with room for improvement
- We’ll have to wait until October to get our hands on Apple’s new wireless AirPods, but select reviewers have been granted early access to help us decide whether they’re worth their $159 price tag.

- “Consider this the first step towards a future where we no longer have to stare at a screen to get things done,” adds Business Insider. “Siri … can always be there, responding to your queries by buzzing in your ear, almost like in the movie “Her.”
