Up until a couple of months ago, I used headphones. But I was at the Apple store with my grandfather, and he wanted to test AirPods for their new hearing assistance capacity. I tried them on and liked them—he ended up buying them as a gift! I’m quite happy and thankful for such a generous grandfather. They work flawlessly! The noise cancellation is perfect for someone like me who is sensitive to noise, and the comfort is unmatched. I used to struggle keeping headphones on for long periods due to discomfort.
