    I bought them for the meme and ended up loving them, and never want to go back to wired headphones on my phone.

    After buying AirPods I only once used the 3.5mm jack/dongle either my phone.

      Okay. I actually got a pair as a Christmas gift. Have you ever noticed them starting to dangerously overheat on a warm day, while your ears are sweating into them no less?

      I’m not exactly a fan of having lithium batteries explode in my ear. I actually like my eardrums and my brain noodles.

      Does anyone actually do research into this new modern stuff before figuring out if it’s even safe or not?

        Dude I think your headphones are defective. I’ve never noticed my AirPods get anything more than vaguely warm.

          I know the left one’s battery runs down about twice as fast as the right one, so yeah they’re probably not in ideal condition.

          When using them indoors, they only get mildly warm, nothing to really worry about. But you gotta keep in mind, some folks like to go out jogging with them in their ears.

          They’ll get that much hotter when outdoors on a hot summer day, and electronics really don’t like sweat…

            That’s exclusively what I do with mine.

            AirPods Pro and AirPods (3rd generation) are sweat and water resistant

            While not proof, they really don’t mind getting a little wet.
