Thanks for all the responses. Looks like aside from the Airpods very few (if any) can say they tried something else which actually works well with playing music with the Apple Watch (without the phone with you). I bit the bullet and just got them. As everyone says they do in fact work flawlessly. I was also impressed with the sound quality (since I had mixed reviews on it) and the fact that even wearing a knit hat over my ears I could still use the double tap feature with ease (and the call quality was perfect). They don't even look half bad when most of them are covered with a hat! On the flip side how the heck could there be no volume function on the Airpods aside from having to use one of the two options for Siri?! Also without the hat on they do feel as though they could come out easily - granted they did not so I am hoping this is just a feeling that will go away in time. If it persists are there any good options to help keep them in or just feel more secure?
