3 reasons I never got AirPods... until now

I've never had AirPods before, even though I've been locked into the Apple ecosystem for a good couple of years now. Given my limited budget, the frequency I lose earbuds and my preconceptions of the tech (they look uncomfortable and the audio experience is meh), I have always gone for cheaper options and had lower expectations of performance as a trade off.

But I am a slave to the addictive nature of having Everything Apple. That automatic pairing is a dream, as all Apple tech fans will know, so I was happy to try them out (I also have one of the best iPads for drawing, the Pro and team favourite the MacBook Air M2). I've been using them for a month or so and though I'll keep using them, some of my concerns were justified. I have the version with ANC, by the way.
