#1stWorldProblemRant: a lot of people in the 55+ demo must not know what AirPods are. People at my work (including complete strangers) will try to strike up polite conversations with me when I have them in.
I mean, it's obvious they're headphones, right? Which comes with the innate understanding that the person is probably listening to something, yeah? Is it because they're hard to see? What other reason would a stranger have for trying to tell me why they're tired after walking for 15 minutes on a treadmill in the company gym??? This kind of stuff happens far too often.And the worst is when I'm actually having a phone conversation on them. People can hear me talking and they try to interrupt. It's like they think I'm talking to myself.

@Enhance How good are those Airpods at blocking out ambient noise? Example; If my wife is watching TV and I'm in the same room watching something else on my iPad, would they do a fairly decent job? Currently I use over the ear noise cancelling headphones but it would be nice to eliminate the bulk sometimes.

@JJ Husker they don't really block out ambient noise. The primary reason I got them is because of how well they integrate with all my Apple products and I've found I love having phone conversations on them. Great for multitasking and the sound quality on them (according to people on the other end of the line) is great. I was also looking for something that would be good for working out and they've done well in that regard.
I would say it certainly depends on your needs. If audio quality and noise cancellation are important factors, I would look elsewhere. But, if the above benefits I mentioned sound nice, then they're totally worth it. - Show next comments 3 more
