Try Bose soundsports. They’re $200 as well but battery life is great and they tend to really stay in your ear canal.

- lambda_lover 8y agoIt's not the battery life per charge, it's the battery lifespan. Similar to iPhones (which are rated for only 500 charge cycles because gotta pad those profit margins... so good luck using one battery for even 2 years), AirPods experience battery degradation to a point where they last < 1 hour and just shut down randomly because they can't provide enough charge to the buds. In just 2-3 years.

- andrewksl 8y agoThis is true. However, the build quality is abysmal. Plastic pieces have come unglued and buttons are faulty on both my fiancée's pair and mine. I don't think I can recommend the SoundSports as much as the QC35s.
- chrisbro 8y agoThe QC35s have been near life-changing for my urban existence. Much better transit experience, and can listen to really loud action movies on my headphones through Apple TV without worrying about disturbing my neighbors. Helps at work to drown others out (thanks open office).
