I have a pair of Bluetooth enabled noise cancelation headphones that H got me years ago for when we travel. Honestly, I don't think they're that comfortable, and they take up a lot of room in my carry-on.
There are times when I like to listen to podcasts, etc. when working in the yard, etc. Don't really want to wear wireless headphones doing that, so I'm looking into AirPods. I guess my hesitation is I am skeptical that they really stay in the ear while moving around... on the other hand, I see all kinds of people wearing them out and about and they seem to stay in their ears.
Upsides and downsides of owning them???

I wear air pods at the gym and when I'm on my riding lawnmower. No problem keeping them in. I'm not a big fan of wireless devices close to my brain, so I try to limit it.

I don’t listen to music a lot with them, but when I do, the quality is very good. I use them most for phone calls.
The newest pro version have features such as noise cancellation as well as 3 (I think) different size ear inserts if someone has smaller ears.
I don’t think mine have ever fallen out-and I do have smaller ears—-the old Bluetooths, etc. were quite uncomfortable. These I often forget I have them on.

So I made the leap, bought them, and just charged them up.
Curious, we are traveling tomorrow - just a 2-hour flight, and we'll be away three nights. How long does your charge last? Do I need to bring the charging cord with me? Or will a full charge get me through until Sunday when we return?
btw... Apple Store sells this model for $249. I got the same model at Costco for $199!

It will depend on how much you use them. Mine last for a long time. Charge the case and you should be good. It should be the same cord as your phone.

By far the best headphones I have ever owned have been the Sony mxh5. The 6 is now out but they are absolutely phenomenonal and whilst they are big they are literally amazing.
My wife hates them, no matter how much shouting or banging near me I just can't hear anything.
Seen you've the airpods though so hope they do the trick

I like them ok but Fiance gave them to me because he bought the nicest newest ones and he did not like the way they fit him. So they have to fit you.
I use them to watch movies on airplanes, some telephone calls. And way less than I should for the $$ spent on them. They do noise cancellation. I like that on airplanes or when speaker phone is not good or practical.
"It's a slow fade...when you give yourself away" so don't do it!
