Not really. I use Bluetooth headphones - they are branded but not a major brand (in fact a company known for something else). Bluetooth is pretty ubiquitous and has been for a decade. The charging case means I have to recharge them every ten days or so (so I don’t worry about it), the sound quality is good enough and I don’t get tangled any more. The only disadvantage is switching between multiple devices can be a bit fiddly at times - which is where AirPods do come into their own.
