AirPod Series

My gen 2 started wearing out so I got the new version. I HATE them. I absolutely loved my old AirPods, the new ones are probably one of my biggest purchase regrets.

I liked them at first, but over time I’ve done a total 180. I will say, the sound quality is better; everything seems a little more crisp. However, no matter what size tip I use, they never seem to stay in my ears. They’re constantly falling out, even just normal face movements push them out of my ears. I also don’t think the noise cancellation works as well (probably due to the ill ear-fit). Honestly half the time I think I’m on transparent mode because I can hear so much of what’s going on around me. At this point, I wish I had invested in a really good pair of over the ear noise cancelling headphones and a pair of budget earbuds for sleeping. Edit: The battery does last a really long time, but that should probably come standard in all modern headphones.

It’s the new shape of the AirPod itself that doesn’t sit well in my ear. I thought it would be ok at first, but they’ve become really annoying to wear. I put my old pair in just to test the shape and they sit in my ears so much better, that might be person to person though. I hope you like yours more than I like mine!
