I hated them until I tried them. Their integration within Apple's ecosystem is killer.


Same. I think it's interesting because out of all the Apple products that I own, Airpods are the first that I saw and didn't want. I hated how they looked.

I had a coworker who used them for calls and he talked me into buying them. Once I started using them I realized how much I enjoyed using them over wired headphones and how well they worked compared to other Bluetooth devices, especially older headsets.

The only negative for me is that the Pro model didn't exist when I bought my Airpods, and the regular model has poor sound isolation--fine if you are at home, in a office, etc., but terrible on the street or on a plane.


Are they worth it if your setup is a MBP plus an Android smartphone?


They can pair with an Android phone, but I don’t know if you get the great connection/pausing related features or not.
