I have a design issue with AirPods. When my earphones (with wire) fall off (and it happens when you're running or doing some other similar activity), I know for sure, that me or someone else accidentally won't crush them, because the wires often prevent them from falling on the floor. I don't know how the current design of AirPods would prevent that.

I don't use in-ear because they've always fallen very easily from my ears, and I always feel like its the wires that are pulling them off.

I imagine these new ones would stay better because the lack of weight from the wires. I'm not excited about them though, I don't use headphones outside, and at home I don't need new ones.

I have a kickstarter idea: make a lanyard that's just a rope with small silicone rings on both ends. Fix the airpods to the rings, put it on the back of your neck, done! They are not going to fall on the floor.

Don't forget to pay me 40% of sales for idea.

exactly same concern.

AirPods is certainly not for running bc it's loose and no water resist at all. But you are right even in daily usage, it could fall off and go no where.
