Fist off HAPPY BDAY!! And Yes I have had many pairs of the LG tone line of headphones. They work great but in the end I have found that one side of the earpiece stops working. I ended up breaking down this time after a long search and many different brands and models of Bluetooth headphones and I got the AirPods. Couldn’t be happier not that I have them! Yes the initial price tag of $159 was kind of steep, but looking back, I spent many times more buying cheaper ones for $30-$70 each. The AirPods have worked flawlessly for me and I can comfortably wear them for an 8hr day at work, only taking them off for lunch, where they charge back up, giving me a full day of use listening to music. As much as I liked the LG’s, the AirPods are just a way better deal for me anyhow, as I don’t have to worry about catching a wire on anything!! Sorry about the long post, enjoy your headphones. If you decide they aren’t for you, I suggest spending the money and getting the AirPods. Well worth it IMO. Again HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and don’t grow old too fast!!
