Yes. Mobility is why I got the Air Pods Pro to begin with. I don't use them with my Air and I don't even want them to pair with my Air; wired ear buds are fine (and cheap!) for that. But they're great for walking and working out. The Air Pods Pro even stay in my ears while erging.

Still, the OP's complaints are valid. But when they work, which is most of the time, they're great. Surprisingly (but not insanely) great.

Tangent but what’s “erging”? Never heard this before and the spellcheck has a red squiggly below it, so it has not heard of it either.

Shorthand for ”using an indoor rowing machine”

Erging is rowing on an indoor rowing machine. They were originally called an "ergometer," which was then shortened down to just an "erg" over time.

It's a really great exercise, and pretty good training for rowing crew (though it's not quite like the real thing).

It refers to rowing on a stationary rowing machine, the kind you would see at a gym
