I have these currently:
Notice the first little trick. Put a sticker on them so you can tell them from another persons. A beautiful piece of art from my daughter. I finally decided after years of thinking that the classic Airpods are good enough for me have decided to buy the pro version. I talked to my son who pointed out these killer advantages:
The Find Me app works like crap on my old version - amount of stress from not managing to find ipods - ugh - Apple you got me! In the latest version the finding really works.
Half the time I misplace my airpods is because I am taking them off to talk to someone. The latest ones will detect when someone is talking to you and let the conversation come through.
So SOLD. Apple you got me. Although I don’t like all your practices you do have a culture of paying close attention to what customers need and solving those practical problems.
Oh and generally you can get these slightly cheaper through third party resellers. The tradeoff though is they often take longer to deliver whereas in the apple store you can get instant gratification.
Not wasting my time and getting stressed looking for my ipods once every couple of weeks easily justifies the spend. Crazy but true.
