The way is see it is like the famous quote about cameras - the best one is the one you have with you.

I can always have my AirPods with me with no effort. They’re in my pocket with the same certainty as my keys, wallet and phone. Unlike headphones where I need to have a bag to carry them, and there’s enough power in the case to get me through most of the week.

That’s what I mean by all day long, not literally every hour of the day but whenever I want them, I’ve got them ready to go.



That doesn’t answer the 2 year lifespan concern


I’m quite sure one uses airpods more during those two years than some over the ear headphones during their whole lifetime.


Yeah you’re right sorry. Replied to the wrong thread.

I guess I just don’t care. I’d rather have them and actually use them (unlike previous headphones I’ve had which I leave at home and forget about) and if I just have to get some more in a few years then so be it. Worth the trade.


If you have Apple care plus, you may just exchange the AirPods at some point during second year of wearing.
