That’s very true, but my favorite thing about Airpods (and EarPods before then) is that they don’t seal the ear canal. I use mine almost exclusively while walking on urban streets or taking public transit, and I absolutely don’t want the lack of situational awareness that comes with in-ear headphones. The sound quality is good enough. When I want really good sound quality, I use my big open-ear headphones at home.
