AirPods are impressive in that sense, but they have the disadvantage that their integrated batteries are un-replaceable. iFixit recently dismantled them... no, that's too kind a word... they destroyed the earbuds trying to figure out their design, and concluded that it's totally impossible to replace the batteries, which are glued in place within a plastic housing that is also glued together. When your AirPod batteries no longer hold charge, you'll end up buying a new pair, and there is no option to switch to a cabled connection. You get what you pay Apple prices for.
