Honestly as someone with $4,000 in-ear headphones that are just beautiful, the AirPods are great. I mean, subjectively crappy on any 1 on 1 dimension vs some competitor on the audiophile forums, but they sync, charge fast, shift between devices, etc.

My usage is 50/50.

Plus, the old apple stuff was hilariously bad on certain sound things; but it’s clear they’ve focused on it, and usually that means it’s fine.
