Do these have a mute button on them?

I currently use Jabra Active 65-somethings because they offer adjustable soft rubber tips, and airpods do not fit my ears. The Jabra's don't have a mute button on the earbuds; you have to open your phone. Do the Airpods?

Thanks!

100% agree that if you take a lot of calls, airpods or their clones are the best thing I've bought in 5 years.

No physical buttons on them, but each pod can be programmed to do things based on taps.

For instance, my right pod will skip to the next song with a double-tap. My left pod activates Siri.

I left my airpods at home today (what a coincidence) so I cannot visit that menu to let you know whether or not mute is one of the possibilities for the tap gestures.

Play/Pause is an option, and serves that purpose

False, it hangs the call up. Source: just hung up on 40 min PG&E on hold call.
