So far, my first gen AirPods can get me through an episode of The Talk Show (~ 2.0 hours), an episode of Siempre es Lunes (~ 1.75 hours) and 13 minutes into A Slab of Glass podcast before I had to recharge them.
@Gabz Battery life drastically reduced when you also use the microphone (phone call, web conference calls, etc.)
@pratik And for some reason it gets much worse if I use only one airpod, like sometimes I leave one in the case and just use one, and when I do that I have had to recharge that one airpod at least 2 time sduring one podcast episode
@Gabz impressive. Most impressive. I’ve stopped using mine outside because they just cut out randomly (and it’s worse when it’s cold).
@Gabz Mine is similar, I think. I have used them a lot so I'm not too surprised. My expectation with gen. 2 and Pro would be a big improvement in long-term performance.
