I don’t know the reasons To this. But I but would comment that when it comes to bluetooth, once again Apple has shown that they “get it” with airpods, the major feature To me is simply that they remove most of the incredibly annoying issues with Bluetooth that other products just seem to not even notice. I have had other bluetooth headphones where sitting down at the computer means I first have to go find my phone and disable Bluetooth to use them with my computer. Where I have to go through the menus to connect them every single time For every device. But AirPods “just work”. Sit at my computer? They connect straight away no action from me, just my magic when I put them in. Walking around with my phone? They just connect (and show battery status) just when I put them in. It’s simple and effortless. That couldn’t have been an easy feat considering everyone else on the market are failing at this and have been failing at this for pretty much every Bluetooth device for more than a decade.

I'm on my 2nd set of "2nd gen" (not the noise cancelling ones tho) airpods. IMO they work great when new but slowly as you add devices, or whatever, they get worse and worse. And since there are no buttons, if it decides to just connect to one airpod, you're screwed until you can throw them back in the case to 'reset' them or whatever. Once you take an airpod out of its case, it either seems to connect properly, or not, but if not, it's game over. I took my airpods out the other day for a run. they must have connected to my computer because my phone refused to connect to them. Doesn't matter how many miles i run from my computer, but they will never connect to my phone until i can put them back in their case and take them out again. Finally reset the whole thing and they SEEM okay.. I'm intending to maybe just keep my old airpods (<1h battery life) for conference calls, and the new ones for running. But anyway, far from perfect.
