Have used these daily for over a year now and have only had one issue come up.
Pros :
- Good audio quality (nothing amazing)
- Really good build/quality, these things have been tossed around and dropped and are still functioning fine (stay away from water/liquid)
- Easy to pair to anything (iphone, androids, pc, consoles)
- Great battery life and charging
- Never falls out of my ears when running/working out, could vary for people depending on ear shape.
Cons :
- One issue i’ve had in the past is the right airpod not pairing properly with the left one. When this happens i usually just reset them to my device and they function normally again.
- Not a very comfortable fit and feel kinda awkward at first.
- Not great at blocking outside noise/No noise cancellation

Great Quality Ear Buds
My AirPods arrived really quickly, especially for living in a rural area. Out of the box you get the AirPods, MagSafe charging case, and a lightening connecter to USB C power cable, no block (so keep that in mind). The connection process to my iPhone 11 took literally seconds and displays battery level of AirPods and Case when you push the button on the back of the charging case. I only had these about 24 hours, but here are my thoughts so far:Pros:- nice, sleek design- easy to use controls. These are my first pair of AirPods and I learned the prompts to skip, pause, and go back to a song in seconds (you tap an ear bud!)- easy connection and pairing to iPhone- a great crisp sound with good bass- fast shippingCons:- Noise cancellation is non-existent. I know these dont claim to be, so I debated on even mentioning his. However, I had wore my AirPods next to my spouse watching TV and I could almost hear the TV over my own audio.- A little uncomfortable in ears after an hour or so. I hope this will change over time, but I often find myself adjusting the AirPods trying to find a more comfortable fit.Overall I really like these. I cant speak to battery life yet and I havent had to charge them yet. I’m very happy with my purchase.

One of two best non-sealing headphones

Airpods 3rd Generation vs Razer Hammerhead. These are my two best in-ear unsealed headphones. I've tried a lot and thought compare the best. The Airpds retail for $169 and the Razers were $99 (now $39).
Airpod audio sound more inside your head (more intimate). Razer audio sounds more outside your head (wider sound stage). Razer sounds more 3D.
Airpod audio is more balanced across the spectrum and sounds full and flattened. Razer audio has the vocals more forward with the instruments more in the background. Razer has a larger spacial quality to the audio.
Airpod audio has less texture and detail. Razer audio has more texture detail.
Airpod audio has a thicker rumble to the bass and the bass remains during the music. Razer audio has tighter, punchier bass. The difference is like a higher quality sub-woofer that is accurate, tight and strong versus a lower quality sub-woofer which extends the bass with a rumble rather than a tight punch. Razer audio sounds like a higher quality sub-woofer (less rumble, more punch).
Airpods secure better in my shaped ears and feel tucked in, while not sealing my ears. Razers feels like they are sitting on my ear and not tucked in like the Airpods.
Airpods 2nd Generation is inferior in every way to the 3rd Generation. 2nd Gen have noticeably less detail, sound very flat and do not fit the ear as well.
Final opinions: In my search for unsealed in-ear headphones, the Airpods 3rd Gen and Razer are the best I've heard. There aren't many competitors in this genre of headphone and these two are the best IMO. It's a toss up between which one is better because different people have different listening preferences, music styles and personal needs. I'll do my best to advise.
- If you constantly wear your headphones, walking with them, using them for calls, etc - the the Apple Airpods 3rd Gen are the way to go. They are more comfortable and secure much better in the ears. They won't fall out. I've had the Razers fall out on my walk numerous times that it's almost a daily occurrence.
- If you want a more audiophile grade experience with a Bluetooth in-ear unsealed headphone, the audio quality of the Razer is better IMO. More detail, more texture, wider sound stage, and tighter bass. The only draw back with the Razer is that the sound stage is artificially-enhanced by adding a echo-like effect. It's small but it's there.
- If you want a more forward sounding and someone intense audio experience the Airpods push the sound into your head and give an intimate but somewhat intense experience. People who want to be inside their music (like center-stage, front row seat) will prefer the Airpods 3rd Gen. This would be better for electronic music, hip hop, dance and most of the modern trends.
- If you prefer to sit in the middle or back of the venue and hear the instrument separation and a wider sound stage, the Razer is a better choice. It's not an intimate but it's more open and airy and has a more laid back quality. This is better for jazz, blues, and classic rock.
A little background: I prefer the open ear design to my over-the-ear headphones and I own or have owned many of the flagship (very best) headphones from brands like Sennheiser, AKG, Audio-Technica, Hifimann and Sony. I have owned the best wireless over-the-ear from Sony, B&O and Philips. I have owned the best wired in-ears from Sennhesier and Westone. I have owned the best wireless in-ears from Sony, B&O, Tozo, and too many to remember. I also own audiophile grade amplifiers and DACs costing costing well over $1,000 each. At present, wired headphones will always sound better than wireless. More information can pass through wires than airwaves. In the future, wireless will match wired but I think that will take a while to happen. For now, if you want the best listening experience, get a wired headphone.

Produto chegou lacrado, demorou um pouco pois foi enviado via pac mas dentro do prazo. So não veio com a garantia de um ano, a data da compra e ativação da garantia foi quando o vendedor comprou o produto, então perdi uns 2 meses de garantia. Mas como eu peguei uma promoção não é um problema pra mim.

Tienen una excelente duración de la batería, tanto los auriculares como el estuche de carga gestionan sin problema un día intenso de uso, si utilizas el audio espacial es posible que notes una pequeña disminución de la duración de la batería, pero nada de que preocuparse.
Tienen una muy buena calidad de sonido, y son cómodos para usar, tanto en llamadas, como ejercicios físicos.
Tengo más de un año con ellos, compre la versión que incluye carga MagSafe en su estuche, el único inconveniente es que al momento de cargar el estuche inalámbrica mente ( muy útil) suele generar mucho calor entre el cargador inalámbrico y el estuche
( otra vez, nada de que preocuparse)
Son buenos, pero si quieres aun mejor calidad de sonido y más funciones
( cancelación de sonido) compra la versión Pro.
