"AirPod doesn’t even move during my run."
"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."
"100% secure in my ear"

"airpods achieve similar level of anc while being extremely comfortable."
"ANC still the best at its class"

"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..."
"All with left earbuds that failed right after warranty ended. All of them."
