Just like the older generations of AirPods (I own a pair of the 1st gen), these came partially charged, and the set up was very easy, just long-hold the button on the case and connect it to the phone.
1 new feature is the personalized spatial audio that required an extra setup, but that only took an extra minute. My mother-in-law used it to watch some homemade videos she recorded and was surprised at how "dynamic" it sounds - for example, in one video, my father-in-law was laughing in the background and she thought he was actually behind her. Overall, it's easy enough for my mother-in-law to use and the audio quality is great. I haven't tested the battery life but it should be sufficient for multiple-hour-long phone calls.
1 missing thing was wireless charging. I thought that all new-gen AirPod cases have that but this one doesn't. Not a dealbreaker though.
My biggest complaint is they fall out if I don’t readjust them when talking for longer periods of time on a call.
Otherwise, the charging, ease of use, and quality are great. If you’re worried about the comfort, maybe opt for another generation of AirPods.
