These are my first EarPods. I had always been afraid I’d somehow drop them in the toilet or lose them when I wear them to my appointments. I still am to a point, but they stay in my ear constantly when I’m up, and I’ve even fallen asleep a few times with them, or one, in my ear. I’m older and legally blind and I listen to a LOT of audiobooks and podcasts. I have expensive headphones that give me headaches and I rarely use them because of that; I certainly can’t wear them to bed! I CAN with these!I’m not as concerned about the quality of the sound; but when I listened to music at 1am this morning while painting? They sounded GREAT!They paired easily with both my iPad and my phone, seem to hold a charge most of the day-BUT, when I’m just listening to books or podcasts; I normally just wear 1, then switch it out with the other one when it starts getting low.My ONLY ongoing concern is losing one. Luckily, these are inexpensive enough that I’ll likely get a second pair!UPDATE 9/7/23STILL using these constantly,no problems with them falling out, and considering I almost always have one of them on; stability, quality and value for the money-this is one of the best products I've purchased in a VERY long time! Sorry, I know it might be strange for an old lady to be so excited about these; but as someone older, legally blind and physically disabled: these earphones have made a substantial positive difference in my life! I have HIGHLY recommended them to friends and family and my best friend, who also had never used this type of earphone; has joined me in my obsession! I just wish I had gotten them years ago like everyone else!
