AirPods are great when they work, frustrating when they don’t. Mine seem to be in a frequent pattern of not connecting to my phone automatically lately, and I couldn’t tell you why. I don’t feel like that was happening nearly as often a few months ago and I’m guessing it has something to do with the many updates and changes they’ve made to how Bluetooth connections between AirPods and iPhone seem to work. I’ve also experienced my fair share of quality issues - static coming through when noise cancelling operates, which Apple replaced my AirPods under warranty for.) Now I’m experiencing a very tough to describe effect where one AirPod seems to cut in and out of transparency mode repeatedly and in a subtle way. All in all they are a great product and I agree with some of the other commenters that for all their flaws they are miles ahead of anything else I’ve tried.
