"I have the air pods and they work seamless with both."
"They connect seamlessly with Apple products. ... As I go from room to room, Apple will ask what to connect to with one click."

"Regarding durability, buy the 2 year AppleCare and the just go to the Apple Store right before it expires and they’ll replace anything that fails their tests. I’ve done that with the past two editions. They’ve given me a brand new set each time. Each set typically lasts 2 years with all my sweat. Works out to be $50 a year, so not terrible."
"My AirPods have received that combination and they’re still going strong after 4 years. ... I’ve even worn them in the pool…not directly in the water but pretty close. ... Say what you want about apple but their products last"
"mine are now 3 years old and still work like the day I got them!"

"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."
"amazing for call quality"

"I put them in my ear, put the helmet on, then do one final “push” with my finger to seat them in my ear for the ride. ... The batteries die before they work out of my ear."
"I couldn't find anything more comfortable than my regular airpods."
"Iv had this same issue with in ear buds with the tips but honestly I got the apple aid pods and they never fall out. ... Is there a way you can test with a friend or family as I've found they are the only ones that sit in right. ... Reason why as the normal air pods don't sit all the way in your ears like alot of others that sit half way in which imo is more comfortable for me and doesn't fall out at the gym"

"the battery life still lasts me entire 5 hour flights which is insane"
"I usually can get 4-5hrs ... then a 30 min charge takes them back to 100% ... it ’s rare I fly longer than 5hrs without a break"
"call quality with battery life is great"

"Mine are so degraded at this point though (four years on) that they can’t even hold a charge for 5 fucking minutes. ... Disgusting"

"they hurt my ears within 10 minutes of wearing them"
"Personally AirPods and EarPods are trash for being easy to fall out and no good seal. ... Ear/Airpods not fitting is an issue with the PRODUCT, not a choice. It’s shit design that should’ve died a decade ago"
"I got tired of my AirPods falling out"

"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 mic on the other hand, horrible. ... Every call I make, everyone tells me I sound muffled."
"But their mic performance on the outdoors is worse than trash."

"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"

"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"
"Their sound quality isn't good enough for critical listening and yet they have 0 character. ... Just another pair with poor soundstage, mediocre instrument separation at best, and boosted bass."
Abeifer 1.0I cannot for the life of me use the touch sensors on my AP'2s and it's pissed me off to the point o went back to my Galaxys. Comfort and battery life are there but using the touch features is much to be desired.
Alacraties 1.0Same. Apple better look at their return numbers and subsequent APP2 sales and GO BACK to that design for the 4. Or have two options, so people that can’t stand having anything way inside their ear canal a non foam option
Ancient_Section_75 1.0Not an audiophile but I use them for BG music while working and taking meetings. Used the airpods 2 for 3 years (we are talking heavy usage everyday here) and then the battery gave up. Switched to the airpods pro 2. Experienced noise cancellation for the first time, and loved it. Only issue is with the mic quality, the reviews say different, but I am not happy at all with the mic quality. But it does help you get by. I feel the HR sensors are just gimmicks and really don't feel like upgrading for these features. But if they significantly improve mic quality, we are talking
anotherdayinthesun 1.0Same here. And I find with the regular AirPod 2s, I can use the left AirPod in the left ear, and also flip it over and wear it upside down in the right ear, depending on what side I happen to be sleeping on. Wouldn’t try this walking around, but when laying horizontal, it stays put really well.
arboden 1.0I have the XM4s, XM6s arriving next week. Also have the AirPods 2. XM4s work solid for me for traveling, you do not want those AirPods to drop somewhere you cannot reach. I do my conference calls on AirPods as they seem clearer but looking forward to the XM6s which should be as good or better. I wear AirPods in the gym
average_zen 1.0I have both AirPods (2nd gen pros and Bose ear buds). Both have options for isolation (noise canceling) and ambient audio. For me, the AirPods are more comfortable for long term (2+ hours). The Bose however fit more securely.
Avinin1 1.0I have both and have mixed feeling, 4 w/ ANC is more comfortable but ANC is not usable IMO I just got better tips for the AP2 and keep on using these
berrydutch 1.0I've had no issues with the standard AirPods with a double conch in one ear and a daith on the other. All are fully healed though. I did have an over the ear type of wireless headphones too that were helpful before getting AirPods.
BigPhattAss 1.0I use them for that as well. 2nd gen are perfect for it, I hope it’s not too much of a difference.
bkral93 1.0Woah… this made my 2s so much clearer. I guess I was living under a rock listening to them on their stock settings.
