Re: A year with AirPods, or, how my AirPods fell in the toilet and lived
#2I've had my airpods for about two months now and I really like them a lot. They are small enough in their case that I usually carry them in my pocket, which I didn't normally do with other earbuds, and so I've found I get to listen to music in more situations, unexpectedly waiting in long lines or what have you, which is nice.
I don't like them as much as my good aviator style headphones, but for earbuds their sound quality is good.

Do they routinely fall of your ears? Seemingly, this was the most common issue or complaint against the adoption of AirPods.

#4Super awesome product, definite advantages over traditional headphones or other wireless headphones.
The only negative point I have with them is that they are now something that I have to know where they are all the time eg I tap my pockets to confirm phone wallet keys and now air pods.... I didn’t used to do that with normal headphones.

Generally from people who hadn’t wore them.... I’ve had them fall out of my ears once when I was taking my jumper off with them on. I run with them on.
They are a slightly different shape to the earbuds that come with iPhones so worth a try even if those fall out a lot.

I’ve had AirPods for a little over a month now and they have never fallen out of my ears - they are sturdy enough where it’s not even a concern. And thinking about it, why would AirPods fall out of your ears any more than wired Apple earbuds.
The technology is really seamless - my only gripe with the product is battery life. You can’t listen and charge at the same time, and I’ve never gotten all day batter life. It makes it hard to use as a daily driver - I have my AirPods for most situations and then a set of headphones for work on the laptop

AirPods fall out of my ears significantly less than Apple's wired EarPods ear buds, which is to say almost never. (I guess it's because there's no cable pulling down on them.)

I've had my pair for about a year now - only times they've fallen out are when something brushes against them. Usually when I'm trying to take a sweater off or something.

If only they had done the same thing around headphones that weren't uncomfortable and sound like garbage.

#10Similar anecdotal experience here. Owned my AirPods for about a year now - about a month in I was shaving and the right one fell into the sink full of water.
Pulled it out pretty quick, rinsed it off, dried it with a towel, and it's worked without issues.
I honestly feel like the AirPods are the most delightful product Apple has put out in a long time. They're great.
