I've been looking at these and think I will make a purchase shortly, however I have yet to find anyone who owns a pair.
Now I have read all the reviews etc. and understand the pros and cons (i.e. sound quality etc.) however for me, from a convenience point of view and ease of use across multiple devices they seem to tick more boxes than other similar products on the market.
For those that have them - how have you found them? |  |

I bought a pair (I'm listening to music with them at the moment) and am very happy with them. They are much better than I expected tbh.
Really convienent. Decent battery last. Super-fast recharge when in that little carrying case thingy. Double-tap to pause music (or take one out). Plus various Siri features that I never use.
What's not to like?
I read a fairly lengthy and serious report the other day saying that Apple doesn't overprice its accessories in the way people think they do. And the Airpods are an example of that. I don't think there were more than a handful of similar products on the market when they launched (if that) and Airpods were better and cheaper than all of those. Same with the Apple Watch (except that *was* more expensive, but was far superior to the competition). Anyway Apple seems to have this strategy of selling their accessories at a low price to keep you in the eco-system. (Their lightning cables are a notable exception to this). |  |

Apols for barging in on the thread. Do they sit in your ears ok? I have never found the buds Apple supply to be comfortable and they fall out. |  |

They do, yes. I was concerned about that, but tried them out in the Apple shop and they assured me that I had 14 days to return them if they didn't work out for me, so I bought them.
Haven't regretted it at all.
That said I didn't experience your problem with apple buds falling out. | |

They don't sit well in the ear so no good for sports use. Go for Sony Gear Icon X . |  |

That was one of my concerns as well, however there appears to be quite a few things on the market which can help with that if they don't quite fit your ears. | |

Same as if you lose your wallet, phone, car keys etc... Or if you are nearby you can use a find feature which makes an audible noise. [Post edited 26 Oct 2017 15:10]

TYB. I want a pair but I find the buds I got with the phone fall out at anything other than a light walk, obviously I have weird ears. | |

When you pay that sort of money for them you tend to look after them. | |

~It's the embarrassment of scrabbling around on hands and knees under someone elses seat on the plane that bothers me. Or the iPhone advert in London that basically says "please stick a knife in my face" | | | |

I think I have weird ears because I also had problems with most ear phones being lose. The Samsung Icon X had great suction and they are the only ones I have had no problem with,
Poor battery life though so only good for sports. They won't last you all day. | |

Can you actually use wireless headphones on planes yet? | |

You'd want something with active noise cancelling for a plane. | |

Update... I decided to get a paid and will say so far I am not disappointed at all. For convenience factor (and connectivity) they are superb. Battery life seems to be very solid, I will mostly be listening to podcasts / audiobooks so no issues on the sound quality front in that respect. Will be testing them a little more with music soon. | |
