A:AnswerI'm an auto mechanic so my environment is pretty dirty. The transparent buds surprised me, they don't look dirty and are pretty easy to clean anyway
A:AnswerI've suffered a couple of concussions and get "vestibular" migraines as a fall out. I love most things about the buds, but the Active Noise Cancelation isn't one of them. ANC actually has a slight buzz too it and can cause issues if you have tinnitus or other issues like mine. If definitely avoid these of that's an issue and look into something that doesn't have ANC.
Even with the ANC off these stop make everything around you echo strangely. Hope that helps.
A:AnswerNo. The Airpods and buds are completely different shapes. The Airpods case is a bit smaller, taller, and thinner. This is slightly larger, wider, and shorter. The quality of the car is the same. But, definitely not compatible with each other
A:AnswerYou don't get a ton of bass with these. You do get enough. And, honestly, is a nice mix that's clear and not muddied anywhere. I like it because I can get vestibular migraines from too much low or high end. That said, I think there are definitely products out there around the same price that can optimize the bass a bit better. But, you'll probably sacrifice in other areas such as comfort, battery life, out something like that
