Hi, I'm using AirPods 4 but I keep dropping them like an idiot. I'm wondering how durable these earbuds are with hard drops. I previously had a cheap Huawei model that broke after 2-3 drops. Will I experience the same problem with these earbuds?
 
It's not the fall, but the shock of a sudden stop that kills people and breaks things.
To your question- I have no idea. 🙂

I got my AirPods 4 at launch and have dropped each bud and my case with or without the buds countless times in the last 20 months. They’re a bit knicked up from the falls that were on concrete, gravel, etc, but they still work great.
 
Yes they are very durable, I have the non ANC version and have had them pop out while on walks over concrete and no issues noted, not even scuff marks.
