The "always works" is the only reason I am using Airpods.

I have never had earbuds that are consistent in the way they connect in any circumstances. I have had Bose, high end Sony, Anker, and there are often times when you need it to connect in a rush and it forces you to shut down the device, the bluetooth on the phone, and waste 30 seconds that feel like 5 minutes.

It works especially well when switching between devices, from iPhone to iPad to Mac and so on. I’ve never had the same seamless experience with other brands which often require you to re-pair just to switch.

I used to be a huge Audio Technica fan but I can’t go back anymore.

My wired Etymotics work 100% of the time without issue.

It still feels (to me) that in many cases Bluetooth earbuds are solving an issue that doesn't exist.
