> Not having to deal with cables and increased range of movement are enough I don't think that's enough. AirPods "just work" in a way that no prior Bluetooth headset ever did. Everything else was a kludge, particularly when it came to switching between multiple devices.

Yeah. They're not perfect, and I've had problems with them a couple times, but they mostly just work. The audio latency is also better than anything else I've used.

  Agreed. Not perfect, but good enough that I didn't hesitate to get a pair for my aging mother. She loves them!

Not only does it “just work”. The sound and noise canceling quality is fantastic. On par or even beating many larger over-ear headsets in same price range. (Talking about the gen 2 pro) I haven’t heard anything in-ear that comes close, disclaimer though I honestly haven’t tried many other in-ears in that price category.

  This. The AirPods Pro were a game-changer for me: I could always have headphones in my pocket, and isolate myself from the world whenever I wanted. The 2nd generation surprised me with much better sound and noise cancelation. Don't get me wrong: over-ear Sonys (I have those) will still sound better and remove more noise. And my B&O H6 gen2 sound much better still if there is no noise around. But I can't have any of those with me at all times, I can't wear them when it's really hot outside or when it's really cold (because of head coverings). AirPods I just always throw in my jeans pocket and they work anytime, anywhere. It's not about a "fashion statement" as some say, it's about a really good product that changes your life patterns because it works so well.

  You can get way higher audio quality at half the price with the Truthear Hexas. There are a ton of good wired IEMd that are cheaper than Airpod Pros and knock them out of the park
