I don't know how people don't lose these daily and that they don't end up going through the washing machine.

  I can't say they're never lost--just last week I saw a single AirPod sitting on a table going through airport security--but as a user of both the AirPods and AirPods Pro, I have more easily lost wired earbuds than these. You might be thinking in terms of a single AirPod, but for most practical purposes, the unit to track is the case that holds them, and it's not so easy to lose. Thanks to its existence, no AirPod should ever be in a pocket un-cased, so no risk of washing machines, either.

    Why does the case remove the risk of washing machines?

      A small thing in a pocket is much more likely to go unnoticed into the washing machine than a large thing.

  Speaking personally, I treat them like the expensive items that they are. They are in my ears, or they are in their case, full stop. Oh, I sometimes think I'll just stick them in my pocket, I won't forget. "Eh, that's how shit gets lost; stick 'em in the case." I also still have the same pair of Oakelys I bought fifteen years ago. But I understand not everyone is so regimented (my wife, for instance), so I'm sure more than a few have made a trip through the wash. My wife lost hers for a while, so I used credit card points to buy a new pair. She then, of course, promptly found her prior pair and now she has two.

  Unless you're already this clutzy with your wallet and phone, I don't see how expensive headphones that you frequently use enough to keep on you is going to be any different.
