While Apple's AirPods may set the high bar when it comes to personalized audio features, battery life isn't among their strengths. At around 6 hours for the buds and 30 hours in total including the charging case for the AirPods Pro 2, there are plenty of wireless earbud models that offer stronger battery performance, and many cost considerably less.
If you're anything like me, you're forgetful when it comes to keeping your wireless earbuds topped up. It's one of the reasons I carry several wireless earbuds in my work and gym bags so that I always have a pair with some charge remaining. I find it frustrating to have to give some wireless earbuds more frequent top ups than others.
