Love my AirPods! I don’t dance around like fucking idiot so maybe that’s why I like them. They never fall out. Great on airplanes.

I hate apple but seriously who dances like that w/ headphones in? Like just play it out loud you hoe
lysani
People in Apple commercials since the iPod was first advertised ages ago.
OrionKaelin
I just modified mine with some cable from my older headphones and clip them to my clothes
tristan8251
My brother has these. They are pretty cool. They fall out less than the corded ones. No cord to accidentally tug on
DangerouslyMoist
Apple earphones are bad at staying in ears anyway, they sit so awkwardly in there.
paulpounder
You can use any BT earphones your little heart desires you don’t have to use apples earphones
Oscarwildebastardson
6 9 a subliminal message?
jaakkopaakkonen
This was great! As headphone pfiliac, airpods are the greatest thing Ive ever tried. Warmly recommend!
starcraftgamer
I'm going to be honest, you look dumb as fuck but it's so nice not having to have cords, guess that could be solved with a cordless headset.
MidlandRedux
Gawd, I hate ear buds. My ears won't hold them and I have to buy kiddy-headsets because the alternative is snob headsets at $100 a pair.
blue9uy
To be honest, airpod are probably the best thing apple made. It is more a convince for me cuz I am constantly moving about. Ugly but works
And it never fall out of my ears unless something hitting it, such as taking off cloth
ReleaseTheBeeees
Why is it more likely that theyll fly out now that with the cable? The bit that goes in your ears surely isnt vastly different than before
ShatteredF1re
People are dumb.
Actually they are. Cannot wear earpods. Airpods however feel much better. Havent figured out what they changed though
Endlogic
More like if they do fall out, they're going to fly away instead of being caught by a cable, me thinks.
n8crafter
precisely. if you have a cable, even if just to connect the two headphones, they're still a lot easier to find.
SalmonSushee
I'd rather spend 100$ on wireless buds that do this by default.
EricBetts
Amazon sells such cables

“Hey can I get a cable to lasso my $150 Air Pods?”
BADD0GGIE
Someone should invent a cord or a lanyard or something that connects them together and then maybe to your device so you don't lose them.
jlist
Try them before you complain about them. I love mine, I can watch anime or other TV on my phone while working out, since the phone can be
Far away from me, on the floor or on the banks nearby. I’ve never had them fall out at a bad time.
Bam4dWins
What's that about john Gacy?
Well hot damn. I've been keeping an eye on this post just to see if any one noticed. Took longer than I thought.
NachoAverageBurrito
I have such bad cauliflower ears I can never wear these anyway. Yes I'm bitter
daewookie
I got these ridiculous looking things bc I would tear my headphones out of my ears on doorhandles or my own knee 10x/day
TotallySwagical
Fyi out of the all the people Ive known who own these, none of em have lost em yet. Some of em work out and dance with these on. Theyre good
Like really good quality. Overpriced for sure, but they feel fantastic.
kawkeye
The end game for Apple is to put batteries in their desktop computers as well. Ya know.. so that those have a shorter life span as well...
GambitLW
this is BS. I’ve had mine for months with no problems. This is just propaganda from other wireless makers with crappier earphones.
frankbarista
Lol i cant stress this enough on how many times I freaking have a panic attack because I cant find the damn thing
Is it just mine or does the mic suck balls out loud for dictation?
SemperFiZero
There's a dude that wears them at the gym and they haven't fallen off when he works out. They look dumb but I was impressed.
Iwillratethis
I know two friends that have them, they’ve never had a problem.
Straga27
I've only seen one person using them and my first though, man that looks stupid.
undeadnorsk
I live in the uae every arab and there dogs have apple airpods and watches.
Ravenuser
They basically have the same shape as the earpods, which I use for gym and running. They fall only when I accidentally pull the cable.
Dedeurmetdebaard
They never fall off of other people.
RogerSmithIsMySpiritAnimal
I use their products, not a fan of the company. But the AirPods are dope as hell. Very snug fit, albeit overpriced. But alternatives suck
strooongsaaad
Check out a teardown! I thought they were dumb at first but now I'm really impressed! The technology they fit in there is pretty cool!
MichaelJackson5
FFS they are designed to share music

This is why I shove my phone in my ass at the gym. I get to listen to music without headphones and the vibrations pump me up.

I have literally never had a headset that could stay in my ears. So, no to that. Im gonna have to use adapters when my beloved iphone 6s
GeorgePotompkin
There's a kind of headset that doesn't go in your ears, it uses vibration of the bone in front of your ears. It's sounds pretty good.
SnivellusSnape
There are several ear-insertion varieties, even ear-hook-ear-insertion -all with different size buds.
Interesting.. i thought it was the same shape for the apple ibuds
Oh i wasnt talking about Apple
TheLetterKay
I have tiny ears and haven't found hooks or buds small enough for me. I even have kids headphones and they are too big.
Plus stops working and i have to get a new iPhone
DinosaurOnABus
Simple just get an android.
I would.. except i own an apple watch and several tablets too.. so im kinda invested... which doesnt mean i cant gripe about apple
Matdredalia
I can't do it. Won't give up my 3.5mm. Apple finally hit my breaking point with that one. :( Broke my heart, too. But they also (1/2)
What is the attachment to the 3.5mm? Nostalgia? I know the feeling I’m still watching movies on beta max.
EmberFiretail
If you knew anything about bit rate you'd know why Bluetooth headphones suck.
I don’t care about bit rate, theysound good to me that’s all that matters. I can’t speak for air pods but my pair of bose sound great.
No, I just like good headphones, blue tooth isn't still fully reliable, and Apple's dongle BS is annoying as fuck.
Haha ok
Have a MAJOR bug they've known about for years that erases ALL your data doing restore & told me "We know. Your problem." So screw 'em. (2/2
ATOMICxIRISH
Thats what a restore does tho? Wipes the phone...
Okay, you can reset your phone, & restore the data you previously had to it. You back it up on your phone, wipe the phone, restore data
This is a well-known bug. Well documented online. Apple flat out told us "Yeah, we know, can't do anything about it." Lost 6 years of shit.
Problem is, iTunes has a nice glitch where even if you choose not to encrypt your data, it'll encrypt it anyways, without ever giving a PW
tiroler
I have them and use them since February every day. They stayed in my ears, even while exercising, no problem.
MeesaJarJar
Been using them for about a month now. Can confirm, they never fall out. Great as a Bluetooth device; people hear me perfectly.
mattsolid
Yes, every day they stay in. They won’t come out. They whisper hateful things into my ears. I feel like I’m losing control. Help me.
ScryForSciFi
JUST WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE calmly presenting a personal experience for a pro Apple view here on Imgur... (PS: I'm an Android user)
keelinn
My inner ears are shaped funny, so nothing remotely earbud shaped fits in my ears. Woe is me. :c
The android fanbois will have your ass for making a comment like this.
Shhh... never imply good things about Apple on Imgur. Hitler is fine, but don't let them know you like Apple :)
Elonth
doesn't make it anyless retarded of a design choice.
thematman
Actually, if they work... I think it does.
FrozenFoodGuy
Well you don’t have to buy them you know. There are plenty of other options out there. Just let people enjoy their products. It’s not hard.
Melociraptor
I'm imagining the people who down voted that were thinking bitterly, "well la-tee-dah motherfucker."
Probably. Gave him an up doot 'cause I see no problem with the comment.
Mumbling something about android while they downvote lol
SpecialProjectY
Genuine question, how do you clean them?
Do you mean the mesh?
Yeah, my earphones have a silicone bumper that don't allow me to shove it too deep into the ear, can replace just that part that comes 1/2
in four different sizes and can easily find a third party replacement. Just use some soap and water to clean. 2/2
canderousbossk
We can all agree they design things specifically to need replacing, chargers, headphones, they just turn em into micro transactions

DooksandPooks
Their charging chords fray and tear very easily. Also here’s an adapter to use good quality headphones with a headphone jack
TofuRabbit
minus the 'micro' part lol
themanthemyththebellend
Apple is in the business of making MONEY. Lots of money.
DevilsArsehole
For what purpose? They aren't exactly giving it back to shareholders.
Look at the stock value for the answer. They create more value by building massive cash reserves.
I'd prefer the dividend of I could afford their stock.
BigTittyJesus

John Deere?

I know! It’s just...I’m still spoiled by all the years of having stuff that wasn’t nearly as cool, but was freakin’ indestructible.
Me, too. Gimme my old ass Walkman & it's headset any fucking day. I literally spliced my headset into my pillow when I was 12 (1/2)
Point being, that headset could survive a nuclear apocalypse.
LONG Before musical pillows became a thing. Asked my Mom to help me patent it. Told me it was ridiculous & no one would want. X_x (2/2)
Lol! I know that line - I still get it when I have a million $ idea! Something like, “That’s nice, dear, run along now.”
They never fall off, and traceable with your iphone if they get lost. I lose EVERYTHING and I haven't lost them yet.
SomeContext
really?
IamtheFonz
Same. I guess it depends on the person tho they don’t fit in all ears perfectly. Also the case makes them harder to lose
AgolfHiller
Have an acquaintance who's ears aren't right for it. He has already lost 3 yet surprisingly still apple smug about it
Jesus just buy a different brand at that point.
