AirPods are still Apple’s best product. Depending on your ear shape, you might find that regular AirPods fall out and AirPods Pro with their silicon tips work better, or that silicon-tipped earbuds like the AirPods Pro don’t fit well and only the regular AirPods stay in place. It’s great that Apple is finally adding ANC to regular AirPods so people have options.

I have the basic gen2 AirPods that I got for "free" in some Apple deal a few years ago. Was a little skeptical I'd ever really use them at first but hey the price was right and if not me maybe the spouse would use them.

I freakin' love them. Wireless and device handoff just works. Great for running, never fallen out in thousands of miles. Great for taking calls even in noisy places like an airport. And I even sometimes use Siri with them despite generally hating voice control anything.

Totally sold on them, all skepticism erased. I'll buy a new pair the same day these eventually die/break/get lost. And my spouse has their own pair now, too.

Never thought I'd be so impressed by something as boring as earbuds.
