Brett Winton(@wintonARK):got sick of the single airpod refusing to charge (or sometimes insisting its still charging and refusing to play music leaving me stuck in mono-mode), so abandoned airpods. great choice so far. The single-airpod thing notwithstanding, Apple's system integration stuff was net injecting more friction than it was reducing (as it turns out.) I do remember when it was the company you could rely upon to produce products that worked consistently and simply.
