    These are my first set of AirPods ( AirPod Gen 3)and I am amazed at how easily they connected to my iPhone. They pick up my voice so well with calls and Siri. The sound is fantastic. The first time I was watching a show from my phone, I had to take one earbud off just to double check that the sound was coming out from the AirPods and not through my phone’s speakers. As I listened to music through the AirPods Gen 3, I kept asking my husband (who sat next to me) if he was sure that he couldn’t hear my music. He couldn’t.

    Con - The AirPods are too bubbly and round for my ears and keep falling out. They also hurt my ear after having them in for a while. Perhaps a different model is better for me.

    I got this as a birthday gift for my mother-in-law. She was looking for a hands-free device to talk to her old friend on the phone, but the headphones in the house were too heavy for long-term use. She has an iPhone 15 pro max so I got her the AirPods on Prime Day.

    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.

    I love these airpods for when I have phone calls, am commuting, or don’t want to wear headphones.

    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.
