"The most obvious example of why first-party products are worth considering is the AirPods lineup, led by the latest . These headphones offer way more features when connected to an Apple device than when connected to other devices. But Apple isn't the only one to take advantage of its multi-device ecosystem. Samsung does it too, with its earbuds heading its audio lineup."
"With Apple products, you can use automatic switching to seamlessly connect to an infinite number of compatible devices logged in to your iCloud account. You can also use spatial audio for a more immersive listening experience (I personally only really use it for movies and TV shows). And, you'll get access to the new Live Translation feature, which can translate speech in other languages in real-time when the AirPods in your ears are connected to an iPhone."
First-party earbud ecosystems create tangible advantages through device integration and exclusive features. AirPods Pro 3 deliver richer functionality when paired with Apple hardware, including spatial audio, Find My, automatic wearing detection, automatic switching across iCloud-linked devices, and Live Translation when connected to an iPhone. The AirPods Pro 3 also include an in-ear heart rate monitor that adds fitness tracking to audio use. Samsung offers similar ecosystem benefits for Galaxy Buds users. Feature availability and the best user experience therefore depend heavily on the chosen device ecosystem and whether users prioritize audio features or cross-device integration.
