Actually, I find the comfort can actually be a problem with the AirPods. They are so comfortable to me, that I can actually drop one and not realize it because they're not so noticeable when you wear them. As for music and call quality. They are much better than the aftershocks, in my experience. I also found the strap on Amazon so you could join the two if you do fear dropping one or both. You can also buy what they call ear hooks, but my first experience was that they didn't allow the AirPods to disengage when removed from the year. So I'm back to using a strap at times, but taking one out when walking.
Life is 10% what happens, and how you take it, and 90% what you do about it, and what you make of it.
