Buddy brought them over from a trip to China but there are dozens of similar variants sold on eBay and Amazon.

He also brought a fitness watch but that was absolute garbage - battery lasted less than a day and it broke within 2 weeks.

The headphones are in daily use now for over a year - so can’t complain bang for the buck. It’s definitely not comparable in quality to headsets costing 100+ bucks but for EDC in the city they are good enough and so far no one has complained about not being able to understand me over the microphone.

If the battery would last 4+ hours I would definitely recommend them but 2.5h is a bit on the low side imo (depends on you cause case obviously).

So far I’ve used the Anker a couple of times , 5times to be exact, and my battery health is still at 99%. I think as long as the battery is compatible with Apple products, there shouldn’t be any problems.

I got some Chinese AirPod knock-offs. For around 20 bucks they work pretty OK - only problem is the battery that only last for about 2.5 hours. But I will probably go back to ones with cable - don’t want to charge another device.

Yeah, people will small ears often report issues with the Airpods 3rd gen.

The Airpods Pro 2nd gen are better for small ears as they now have extra-small (XS) tips for a better fit in small ears. Note that you might want to go with 3rd-party XS or S foam tips as some people report a better fit with those vs the included silicone ones (but foam tips might not last as long as silicone ones).
