r/apple on Reddit: Airpods 2 Battery after 1.5 years
December 8, 2020 -

How has the Airpods 2 battery held up after 1.5 years? I have 1st gen Airpods and am pretty disappointed that after only a couple years the battery only lasts for about 40 minutes before it needs another charge. It honestly almost makes the product obsolete and useless if I plan on listening to something longer than that. I know Airpods 2 say they last 5 hours on one charge, how has that held up over time?
