Call me crazy, but I honestly think they're one of the best products Apple has made. I will say that I have zero trouble with fit (I didn't with EarPods either), so I can't comment there. However I was pleasantly surprised at how decent they sound, and they're just convenient as fuck.
I'm not sure how other similar products work, but the ease with which you pair and use AirPods is just incredible. And they're especially useful for when I'm Skyping with a friend while gaming, I can just throw one in an ear and I'm off. The lack of any wires at all is awesome. You throw those fuckers in and just forget about them. And when they recently patched in the ability to customize what tapping each side did, they fixed one of my major gripes. They have a decent span off one charge, and the case makes it so that as long as I remember to plug the case in every couple days, battery has literally never been an issue.
I was hesitant at first, about both price and audio quality, but honestly that hasn't been an issue at all for me. I use them every day, without fail, they're really one of my favorite Apple products.
