![]() ![]() The only time I've had a problem was when doing on-the-ground stretches where my head is in direct contact with the floor. I pop the Airpods in before going to the gym, and they stay put while I lift, push, crunch, and run. Like everyone else, my primary concern was that the Airpods - or any other totally wireless headphones - would fall out of my ears thankfully, that hasn't been my experience at all. ![]() This one-size-fits-all approach is a gamble, since you can't make any adjustments if the Airpods don't sit well in your ears, but I haven't had a problem with them. The hard plastic is definitely different from the gummy-tipped earbuds I've been testing over the past couple of years, but it's still pretty comfortable. If you're familiar with Apple's Earpods - the wired headphones Apple has included with the iPhone since late 2012 - you'll know what to expect with the Airpods' look and feel. That's good, because the Airpods don't have any buttons, so if they didn't pair automatically I'd have been totally stuck. ![]() I've paired countless wireless gadgets to my iPhone over the past 10 years, and this was the smoothest experience I can remember having. I opened the Airpods' case, popped them into my ears, and my iPhone automatically asked me if I'd like to pair them. I have to give Apple credit the company made setting up and using the Airpods incredibly easy. After using them for about a month I'm not absolutely sold, but there's enough to like that I'm still happy to wear them every day. I didn't think the technology was ready yet, but finally broke down and bought a pair of Apple's Airpods to wear at the gym. I've reviewed dozens of headphones in all shapes and sizes, but always stopped short of trying "totally wireless" pairs. Battery life and audio quality aren't perfect either, but they're good enough to overlook given how incredibly convenient these headphones are.Their one-size-fits-all design will make or break them for some people, although in my experience they've stayed in my ears even while working out.Apple's Airpods are the first pair of "totally wireless" earbuds I've tried, and they're worthwhile despite some compromises. ![]()
