I have the first gen airpods. If I had to pay for them all at once I wouldn't have considered them worth it either. They are about 2 years old now and the batteries pretty crappy now. When they die the only thing I will be able to do is trash tem. I am sure I will wonder where my money went then.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but just in case others don't know, they do come with a small portable case that has a battery in it, so you can easily take the case with you and recharge the Airpods on the fly. I'm seldomly listening to things for five hours straight, so having to pop them into

The Airpod Pros will be more expensive, about $100 more the last time I looked a few months ago. The Airpods look like wired ear buds without the cables, so there's no noise cancellation, active or passive. The Airpod Pros have the silicon tips that fit into your ear, so they do have passive
