Apple AirPods 2: Why are Users Upset?
The users of Apple’s second-generation AirPods are pretty upset with the performance of the device. The reviews generally complain of no significant difference from the first-generation AirPods.
Moreover, some users have also pointed out that they are facing frequent disconnections and drops in the connectivity. Nevertheless, the biggest complaint here is that Apple AirPods 2 are pretty much the same as the older AirPods. Hence, there is no point in purchasing new AirPods if you already own the first generation!

Finally, are Apple AirPods 2 worth the price you pay for them? Given that they sound pretty much the same as the older AirPods, there is no point in upgrading from the older ones to the newer ones. However, if you want to buy new AirPods, the second-generation earbuds are pretty good!
