For me the answer is quite clear: they simply work. Apple like. Did I test all the others you mentioned? No. Probably because I used to have several Bluetooth headset. They hardly ever worked. For me, I had to have high trust in the HW company to ever test a Bluetooth headset again.

FWIW, I've tried to set up one pair of Airpods, and they were broken right out of the box. Wouldn't pair with anything.

So that's a 1 in 1 failure rate ;)

Did you realize you had to press the circular button on the back of the charging case. It's hard to see and they won't pair with anything unless you do.

Complete opposite experience for me, it almost felt like they paired too easily.

Switching devices is the only situation that I find annoying since I need to open up the bluetooth menu and tell it to connect.

"Anything" being? Some Android phone / Windows PC, or within the Apple ecosystem?
