Found this from a guy at my city, its is 4 years old now, is it worth buying? i could never justify 250 for earphones, recently switched to Iphone from android and want to experience the ecosystem for a few months.

just got the new airpods 4 gifted to me, which one would you say is better?

After having my AirPods Pro 1st gen, I’m shocked how well they’ve aged throughout the 5 years. At first In 2019 I was unsure if almost $300 was worth it at the time. Now that answer is overwhelmingly YES! Recently they fell in a bowl of pasta sauce. So I cleaned them for the first time in 5 yrs. I use Castile soap, hot water and multiple Lysol wipes to then learn that was wrong. Today I popped them in after letting them dry and they still work! Throughout the years these pods and I have gone through a pandemic 3 car accidents, 2 fights, a fall down a down the steps. Also washing and drying twice in my pants pockets. And they still work perfectly fine. Outside of a few scrapes on the case they look amazing. I play basketball, shower, sleep (sometimes) run, hiking once in the blue and etc. they’ve taken a beating and yet they still last the test of time. Outside of scratches on the case and only getting 2.5 hours of ANC. But after half a decade later these earbuds have shown their worth. What do you guys think? Any of you have your OG AirPods Pro?
