    Superb sound
    I don’t typically write reviews but this one is well worth it. I bought a pair of non-apple earpods trying to save money, however, they’re uncomfortable in my ears and kept falling aside from the sound not being so clear. For these apple airpods, I did pay more but the fit and sound clarity were well worth the price. Sometimes, it’s really worth spending for the quality you’ll get.Highly recommended.

    The sound is fantastic and easy to use. You can still hear what's going on around you which may be a good or not so great feature but that depends on you. I think it is good in case there is a fire alarm.

    I’ve had these for 4 years now. I use them almost every day and they still work perfect and sound great. Battery life isn’t what it used to be but still lasts a long time.
    If mine ever die I’ll immediately buy another pair.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2024
    Set: Without AppleCare+Verified Purchase
    Have had this set for almost 4 years. Usually get 2-3 years from a set before one of the pods starts loosing significant battery capacity and can’t get thru a meeting.seems pretty reasonable given the small batteries and heavy usage over several years.

    Ordering another set today to replace these and will be happy with another couple years use. They work every time, sound good, have no connection issues.

    Recently thought I’d branch out and try the lower price point Anker p40 and the a40. Both sets had issues, failed connections, poor sound quality variably and the one set eventually stayed phone connected even when in the case and out of range. Just didn’t work reliably for day to day work uses.

    Really wanted to like the ankers, but so far nothing works as well as the Apple air pods. Also have had some Apple gen3s which were great, but since I can’t tell a difference, will stick with the cheaper gen2 sets.

    I have forever used a pair of noise-cancelling headphones for air-travel. They are obviously bulky, but fit into my briefcase nonetheless. They are outstanding for music and movies - doing their job cancelling out engine noise.

    I wanted smaller headphones... a reputable product, for an upcoming international trip. At first pass, I was extremely impressed out of the box! Great sound, bass, and comfort. I then put my new AirPods to the test on a recent domestic flight. Unfortunately, I was unimpressed with entire lack of noise cancellation, and the need to turn the volume darn near all the way up just to hear audible voices in movies.

    I can't imagine working out in these (bouncing around), but I can see where these would serve well elsewhere. I will make these work for my international flight... using the AirPods as my sole source for music and such. They are incredibly small and compact for travel, and hold an outstanding battery charge. Glad I purchased these... just not my go-to for preferred (again), air-travel purposes.

    I like AirPods are the perfect combination of convenience, sound quality and stylish design. Their seamless integration with Apple devices allows me to enjoy music and calls effortlessly. The sound quality of AirPods is simply amazing - clear highs, deep bass and good isolation from ambient noise create an impressive audio experience.

Without a doubt, AirPods are more than just headphones, they are part of my daily experience that makes my day easier and brings pleasure to listening to music and communicating.
