I'm an Apple guy. I have several pairs of airpods. My arrogance does not
allow me to wear them outside of my home. The tubes, sticking out of
my ears, makes me look stupider on the street. 

But that's just me.

How many pedestrians, do you suppose, have been killed by rocking out to
music/podcasts with their new-ears engaged, when a car hit them? I'm not
talking about using iPods as hearing aides, just dangerous for
distorting an extremely important sense, outdoors. That goes for all
audio devices that do other than enhance your hearing. Indoors is
optimal.
