    I ordered these 2nd Generation Apple Airpods over 6 months ago. To this day, they are in perfect working condition, nearly the same way I received them. Upon trying out the sound quality of them, using a single one sounds wonky for being a product of Apple. Using both of them makes the quality sound a bit better, but still is questionable. It also would have been a much better product if there was full noise cancellation.The Bluetooth functionalities are a bit tricky to me especially since if you are connected to your phone, connecting to another device such as your laptop, is time consuming and complex. Some cool features of these Apple Airpods are it's voice controlling functionality, can use through phone calls, double tap to skip, and if you have an Apple Watch, it works as a tiny remote for the volume. You also do not have much of a say when they come with a lightning speed charger. It's a double win if the device charges quickly and the device has a life of 5 hours without the need of a charger. For the value of this product, the effectiveness is fair.

    The quality is great cause it’s Apple made. It fits good in my ear and has great connectivity. The fact that I don’t like about this model is they don’t have noise cancellations.

    Have had this set for almost 4 years. Usually get 2-3 years from a set before one of the pods starts loosing significant battery capacity and can’t get thru a meeting.seems pretty reasonable given the small batteries and heavy usage over several years.

    Ordering another set today to replace these and will be happy with another couple years use. They work every time, sound good, have no connection issues.

    Recently thought I’d branch out and try the lower price point Anker p40 and the a40. Both sets had issues, failed connections, poor sound quality variably and the one set eventually stayed phone connected even when in the case and out of range. Just didn’t work reliably for day to day work uses.

    Really wanted to like the ankers, but so far nothing works as well as the Apple air pods. Also have had some Apple gen3s which were great, but since I can’t tell a difference, will stick with the cheaper gen2 sets.

    I’m so happy to go hands free whether it’s a phone call or audiobook and the sound quality is so much sharper with the Apple ear pods particularly with light background sounds/ ambient noises. . My ear canals are a little narrow, yet they stay put and are so comfortable that I forget they’re there. Great product.

    Best value choice for me, especially when on sale for under $90. I like the full but natural sound, not too much bass or treble. Minimal latency from wireless connection. Does a good job with automatic switching between Apple devices. I even like the original longer stems because easier to handle. I also prefer earbuds that do NOT block out and “cancel” external noise, for safety reasons, and no irritating rubber tips. I’m sure Pro version sounds a bit better and have a few extra features, but these old-school AirPods are much less expensive and work great for my needs.
