I have a pair of AirPods, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed with them, the main reason being that they just don’t seem to fit in my ears very well, needing constant readjustment. Further, the sound quality is no better than the pair that comes with the iPhone that can be purchased for $29. I also find the nfc pairing nice, but also frustrating when it fails, and extra annoying when trying to check battery levels. I’ll never understand why the battery level doesn’t show up on the top right like every other Bluetooth headphone set I have. I do find them pretty convenient at the gym so it’s not all bad. Perhaps I should have waited for these, but I already have a Bose pair that fits my noise cancelling needs pretty well.

> the main reason being that they just don’t seem to fit in my ears very well, needing constant readjustment It may simply be that your ears aren't a suitable shape - I've had this problem with every single pair of in-ear phones that I've ever tried and fitted hearing aids. At least the aids have over-the-ear clips so I don't lose them. I would be guaranteed to lose an AirPod within a week of owning them.

the main reason being that they just don’t seem to fit in my ears very well, needing constant readjustment The fix for that is the PowerBeats Pro. I know, I know, another $250. But they took AirPods and put on earhooks and rubber tips. Same W1 chip, so you get the pairing/switching convenience. They sound better than AirPods, too.
