"the call quality of their Airpods are almost unmatched. ... Look at every single remote interview you see on TV... 99% of the time the person calling in is using Airpods of some kind. It always sounds pretty good too. ... I've tried calling my friends with all my earbuds and they all have said the Airpods sound better on their end. ... My other buds tend to have a slightly muffled or digital sound. ... when I know I'll be on a long call, I'll switch to them."
"If I then switch to FaceTime audio / video it becomes crystal clear."
"used them for years on calls - always had great feedback on quality, especially when paired with facetime audio."

"But their mic performance on the outdoors is worse than trash."
"whenever you use them for voice comms, the reproduced audio quality goes to the crapper — limited bandwidth. ... But it does not work well in clam shell mode with MacBook Air M1. (At least with mine it did not a few eons ago.)"

"the bass sounds are nonexistent ... my 30$ EarPods have much better bass sounds ... So if you listen to a lot of bass-heavy music, stay away from these. ... I had to spend a lot of time with equalizer to make them usable."
"not sound quality ... Samsung buds pro 2 sound way better than apple's ... bowers and Wilkins pi6 and pi8 even better sound quality again than this"
"They’re dogshit. ... I had to EQ the bass down to zero in order hear anything else. ... £20 KZs are way above. ... I ended up sending them back"

"they break constantly. ... My extended family/friends come to me with all their tech problems and all the airpods break regularly. ... They can't hold a charge, won't sync, or the speakers just die."
"AirPods are built to last a year the then they fail. ... Every year, right after the warranty expires, one ear bud fails its almost a joke to us at this point. ... we've had 8-9 pairs of air pods fail ... One of the air pods just quit working on all the sets they've had..."
"Mine are so degraded at this point though (four years on) that they can’t even hold a charge for 5 fucking minutes. ... Disgusting"
