Here: Airpods are very good headphones. But not for everybody.
All through this thread you're jumping on anyone who dares criticize any aspect of the Airpods. Speaking in absolutes. "Nobody who has ever used them would say that", "nobody misses the wires", "nobody misses their previous headphones".
I don't like them. I can't wear them. My ears are too small, they slide out. This doesn't distract from their quality.
But I sure as shit miss the 3.5" jack when I have to plug a silly, fragile, unwieldy dongle into my phone to listen to my Earset 3i's. (Sadly, too, their Amazon rating seems to be 2.7/5, and reading the critical reviews, that seems to be almost exclusively because people got counterfeits on Amazon).
Please stop speaking like people are _factually wrong_ for disliking the Airpods or aspects of them.
