Did you use the Airpods on that 2.5 hour hike? 😏

That’s pretty good after 3 years. How many usage hours in the day do you average with them? Through my daily use (at least 4 hours), they lasted about 18-20 months before I noticed severe battery degradation & swapped the buds over for new ones.
 
My Gen 1 AirPods are still being used by family - but they don't last very long (4 hours?). My AirPods 2 are just starting to show slight degradation after a year+, but still doing very very well.

I use them mostly while jogging with my AW.
 
Some days I don’t use them and other days I use them 4-5 hours. I probably average a little over an hour a day between music and ATV
