    This is actually the primary reason I switched from Pixel to iPhone. I was sick and fed up of leaving the house, opening up the pixel buds case and 1 bud not connecting, or having minimal charge, or it just cuts out after a minute of listening to something. Standing in the middle of the street troubleshooting earbuds whilst I just want to listen to something whilst going somewhere was so frustrating. Moved to iphone and airpods - not had an issues since (about 2 years now). Yes I tried different earbuds with my pixel. No, they weren’t any better. In-fact I still have some and they work better with my iphone.

    I don’t go in for fanboism when it comes to tech companies, but the build quality of Samsung and Google is atrocious.

      couldn’t you just… you know… pair your airpods to your pixel; so why ditch your perfectly working phone?

        I had switched to some cheap SoundCore earbuds, still having issues with the pixel, switched to an iphone - no issues. Wanted nice ear buds again, so went with airpods. My original pixel buds were still sometimes not charging, or more importantly 1 would discharge in the case.

          This is wrong. LTT hates Apple and even he uses AirPods with his android, cause according to him they are the best earbuds.

              What do you mean wouldn’t trust him? He’s not selling you AirPods, and gets absolutely nothing for telling people AirPods are good.

              What would be his motivation to lie?

                I don’t think he’s lying, i just don’t trust his opinions about technology to be well informed. Basically, i think he is in it for the views. Maybe airpods are good. But i wouldn’t trust his work on the review.

                  Okay sure but that wasn’t the point of this comment thread at all? Airpods work with android (and PCs).

                  Yeah that’s fair, but to be clear, I’m not talking about a review.

                  Haven’t watched him for a year or two (mostly for the reasons you mentioned), but it would randomly come up in videos all the time how surprised he is that AirPods are actually good.

                    He also uses wifi music streaming in his house and has all kinds of problems.

                    What I’m saying is, you could have told me that you like airpods, or literally anybody else liked them, and without knowing anything about you, i would trust your opinion more than his.
