* like pretty much all Apple earbuds, they don't seal to my ear so they're totally useless in loud places like airplanes (my #1 use case for headphones)
* audio frequently drops out, especially when outside (and there's nothing for the bluetooth signal to reflect off of)
* terrible mic quality for phone calls
* unreliable pairing to my Surface Pro
* one more thing for me to forget to charge
Some of this is anecdata and maybe I just have lemon AirPods, but my experience has been very far from "there's no going back and there's no comparison". I'd sell them without reservation if I didn't feel weird in general about selling earbuds.
