I do not exactly know as I've never bought the apple airpods and do not intend to. This set of awesome anker earbuds that I found on amazon this morning get up to 8 hours of playtime on a single charge, have usb C charging, as well as wireless charging of the earbud case. They are around $150, but they seem totally worth it to me. I saw many reviews on amazon saying how comfortable they were to wear and how you get a lot of different ear tips to try out. I think even with small ears, they would work. Anker, has awesome customer service. I called them a lot in the past couple days and they always answered my questions and they were very good at explaining something if I didn't understand. You also get an 18 month warranty on any anker product that you buy. I do intend on getting them when I save up some money. These earbuds even work with the soundcore app which has some very cool EQ settings.
