Basically all the annoying shit I have to handle with my AirPods is made up by how good of a product they are. I have nice headphones, speakers, studio and other microphones, etc for a bunch of use cases. AirPods are my workhorse. I haven't found anything as comfortable with as good a battery life and as good fidelity and as good price. The active noise cancelling is also very good. And I'm an apple hater, in general.

Would you recommend those for someone with no Apple devices? I'm thinking of gifting them to someone. But they are Android/Linux user.

  No. Although I do use them on my Linux desktop I wouldn't recommend anyone use bluetooth on Linux regularly.

    But AirPods are the only wireless headphones with which you can use the mic without having to suffer from horrible audio playback and microphone quality because of Headset/Handsfree.

      They suffer from that on both Linux and MacOS.

  I've liked Sony, myself, at least before they shit the bed with firmware. They stayed on better, and had better noise canceling. The transparency was a bit metallic. AirPods in comparison rely a ton on a tight fit for noise canceling, but the transparency is magic. Sadly, I'm more of a noise canceling user.
