Battery life for bluetooth earbuds is going to range depending on brand and 
model.

I currently have the Airpods 2nd generation, and I am going on my third year 
using them, and I still get about 4 hours before having to charge them.  I only 
use both of them while listening to music, anything else, I only use one at a 
time.
Prior to my Airpods, I had an inexpensive pair that is actually still going, 
and I have had them about 8 years now.  I did not time it out exactly, but they 
always lasted at least 10 to 15 hours between charges.  I am not sure if they 
are even made anymore.  The only reason I went to the Airpods is because of 
their form factor.  I do not like earbuds that go all the way into the ear.

Since I do not like earbuds that fit all the way into the ear, I will probably 
be sticking with the Airpods as long as Apple continues to make them.
