The pros are their convenience. They take two seconds to pair and then will work on all of your iOS devices. Pop them in and they’ll start working. The charging case is compact and gives you plenty of play time.
You don’t get that convenience if you’re on android. The sound quality is mediocre. It’s probably good enough for most people. I use them mainly for podcasts. There’s no sound isolation (can be a positive if you need to be aware of your surroundings.) The fit isn’t great for me because of the hard plastic but lots of people say that isn’t an issue.
Apple owns Beats and they just released the Powerbeats Pro. They sync just as theory as the AirPods but don’t have all of the features. They do have soft tips if fit is a dealbreaker for the AirPods.
The new Galaxy Buds are supposed to be really good but you need a Samsung phone to take full advantage of them.
