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.
