  If you use your Airpods enough (ie. all day at work, on phone calls, etc) - you can easily wear out the battery in that amount of time. 2-3 charges per day in 15 months gets to about the 1000 charge area where the battery begins to drop quickly. The Pros also had a design defect that led to a crackle. I had both my Pro earpieces replaced a few months back - independently, for that issue. In any case, Airpods are meant to be disposable. Apple does not replace the batteries on them for battery service issues, you just get new ones. The Maxes are different, the battery can be serviced, and it will last considerably longer - at about 5x the life per charge, you will likely exhaust the shelf life of the battery before it dies from usage.

    The battery life in mine has dropped somewhat, but I use only one at a time since I'm not keen on having them transmitting signal through my brain. (I know there isn't science that says it is bad for you, but AFAIK there hasn't been testing of this type of transmission quite so close to the brain.) One upside of this is that I am charging one AirPod at all times, which basically means I never run out of battery.
