Nothing beats the automatic connectivity and convenience of using AirPods over other wireless earbuds, but there are probably others that are either better quality or a better value. Still, I don’t like the feeling of in ear earbuds and was tired of buying and returning ones that would keep falling out, so I ended up getting the 2nd gen AirPods since they’re the same shape of the wired earbuds I was used to. I think fit and comfort is probably the biggest factor so it’s hard to say which is the best since we all have different ears 🤷🏻‍♀️
