They really do feel like that old Apple magic from when you first got an iPod.
I ordered them when they came out and figured I’d return/sell them if I didn’t like them. I had normal corded headphones, wasn’t sure I’d really care.
Given how long it took for them to fix supply issues that was a good decision.
But they really changed the way I do everything. They’re so small in their case that I can just carry it with me all the time, so I never have to worry about if I left my headphones somewhere. I always have some on me. By and large they sound better than my old headphones (comfortable/decent sounding $20 model, so no big surprise) but they’re so incredibly convenient.
I don’t remember the last thing I could give an unqualified recommendation to other than AirPods. Android users don’t get some of the benefits of easy pairing, and of course your ears have to fit the things... but they’re fantastic.
