Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person in tech who doesn't like over the ear headphones. I've always preferred earbuds, and fortunately, both iterations of Airpods fit my ears great. I also have never worked in an environment where I need to shut the world out just to get things done.
This isn't the main benefit, of course, but I do like that as a bonus my current over-the-ear headphones keep my ears warm during winter. There are cheaper ways of solving that problem, which is why I describe it as a bonus, but it's top of mind because it's cold today where I live.
And while it's not a benefit this year for me, I also like them on flights.
