There are a few things I always carry with me. In my right-hand front jeans pocket goes my wallet, and both fast and slow insulin syringes. In the left goes my phone and the Apple AirPods Pro 2 case (let’s shorten that to the AP2), now supplanted by the Pro 3. For the past year I’ve carried the AP2 with me everywhere; its small, curved case design slips easily into my pocket. They’re ready for use for weeks at a time without recharging the case.
So these earphones have been my constant companions, at the ready for a phone call I want to make or to listen to music while walking. Or when I realise that the band in the local pub is uncomfortably loud, and I need some hearing protection. As an auditory Swiss-army knife, they do it all.
