13. "Airpods aren't great for hiking" In response to In response to 12
The Pixel controls mean you can change volume up/down with a slide and do forward, back, pause with taps.
On the Airpods you have to *swipe* a small area and and that is hard to do with hiking poles in my hands and walking/running - I couldn't do it reliably.
I think the AirPods s sounded better, but for $65 and the ease of use the Pixel Buds Pro will do nicely.
