I am disappointed in the Apple Airpods. As a consumer, I assume that Apple is at the front of the pack when it comes to hardware and software in their chosen products. They are so selective about what they release and charge a premium, so I usually buy without thinking. I assumed that background noise on calls was not a solved problem, and that Airpods were the best solution on the market. Boy was I wrong. The Meta Raybans have incredible background noise cancelling that is significantly better than what Airpods offer. It is so much better that it makes me mad as a consumer. The only problem with the Raybans is that you can't wear them at night, at the gym, etc. Next time I need new headphones I won't be blindly reaching for Airpods again. They've lost my trust.

if you haven't tried voice isolation mode, you might be surprised at how much better phone calls on AirPods can be... I was shocked that it isn't just the default https://support.apple.com/en-us/101993

I’ve had issues with voice isolation mode outside, especially with wind. Often backgrounds my voice, so turned it off.
