I’ve got a pair of AirPods, a pair of Sony XM4 earbuds and the same XM4 but in headphones. I decided on the buds over AirPods Pro after some comparisons and am going to give the AirPods away to my brother.
I don’t have much to add to what everyone said here - I do like the AirPods, they’re comfortable, sound better than most of their type etc. One point that everyone mentions is instant connectivity but the Sony buds have this as well so it shouldn’t be a selling point for the AirPods. AirPods had instant connectivity when you first connect them and then they connect about as fast once that initial set up is done. I like them all for different reasons but the Sony buds are probably my favourite now.
