Another option is to not get any kind of apple airpods at all. There are some very nice wireless earbuds that are much cheaper but do sound very good. There is a set of wireless earbuds from anker for around $60 that can last up to 7 hours on a single charge. I've got a set of wireless earbuds

Remember that the Airpods will not switch seamlessly/automatically and instantly between your iPhone and Apple Watch. They are Apple's own product and are supposed the most advanced Bluetooth earbuds out there yet pretty much any other Bluetooth headset will do this so I am not quite sure how

I do indeed. If you need something durable that can be collapsed and reassembled often, it is excellent. If you want something to always be in one place, the Scanner bin from Amazon is also quite good and that person did a special video for blind users for putting it together. Richard "He
