Here is an advice, for Apple the Air pods are an accessory, they may integrate nice with iPhone, decent sound, but is still an accessory for Apple, product quality is not that important. They won't put much effort on them becasue anything can be solved by returning the product. In the other hand earbuds and headphones are one of Sony's specialty. Buy a Sony if you want a solid product that lasts. Same applies for Microsoft, these big companies make a lot of money by selling masses of overpriced and in some cases garbage accessories with no quality, because you can return them, so quality doesn't matter that much.
