I have maybe 15-20 pairs of headphone for all sorts of listening pleasure. The OG AirPods became my everyday pair because they were just so simple to use. Not on, no off, no hassell. Just put them in your ear and go. In quiet areas they sounded decent too. They were no audiophile headphones but when the surrounding were subdued, i thought they sounded good. And for calls they are a no brainer.
now with ANC, and better passive NC, they could be real winners. Best pair, probably not, but best all round and convenient? Probably
I agree 100%. I’ve owned Senns, Anbes, M&D, Sabbat, jabra, and Two Sony true wireless, and at least for work, the old AirPods were the most reliable and convenient. Now with just pure music listening, I give it to the others, but with work listening where I need to get them in and out of my pocket quickly and being able to reliably answer the phone, the AirPods won easily. I don’t know if I’ll like these new iPods, but they check all of the right boxes.
