>• Smart switching between multiple devices logged into iCloud. You need only pair with one of your iCloud devices and the rest will auto pair. Genuine feature, and a neat one at that. Previously I had to rely on stuff like NFC or saved pairs, which is still more than 1 pair. >• Auto-pause when removed from ears. Also a genuine feature. Takes some real thinking to make that a priority in the UX. >• Auto-mono when only one is in your ear. Is that really a feature? I mean I guess that's cool, but it seems like a play on the previous feature sensing if in use or not. >• Carrying case that charges them rapidly and keeps them safe in your pocket. This is a necessity rather than a feature per say. Wired headphones don't need to be charged. Wireless headphones with a headphone port for backup also don't require a charge. Most modern headphones are a single unit, so they don't need a case to be kept from getting lost. That said, many have cases to keep them from getting tangled or damaged in transport, the latter which is true for the airpods, however if your case were damaged, so is your charger. > If these turn out to have the same issues, I'll gladly report how inaccurate Apple's marketing was and how disappointed I am. If they have the same issues as other Bluetooth devices, hopefully you find out about it before you spend your money on some expensive tech.
