Hi Simon, Thank you very much for all of your thoughts on these. I was planning to try them out in the store, so I'm kind of sad to hear that you can't. If I got these, I'd definitely miss the small size of the AirPods case, but I could just carry the earbuds themselves around, I suppose. The battery life on them sounds good enough.
I'll keep considering these.
