I doubt they could fit any storage on airpods, they're already filled for batteries. Apple watch is the companion for working out without your phone and that has onboard storage

I have the Bragi Dash which has 4GB of storage. Because their bluetooth is pretty crummy, they actually work best as an in-ear mp3 player, no phone required. It's pretty nice for running because carrying a giant phone in running clothes is a nuisance.

I can't imagine the antenna is anything wonderful considering the size so it would make sense that they added in the storage feature to compensate.

The Samsung Gear IconX (last year's model) had 4 GB of storage. However it was useless to me as I no longer manage my own MP3 files. I use Pandora/Spotify/Google Music/etc.

If Apple adds storage, they hopefully will do it in a way where it's easy to "cache" playlists or albums easily without having to manage files.
