I’m getting a free pair of AirPods today with my Mac purchase. Do I sell or keep?

I have a pair of Bose QC35 that I use inside. So, for mostly everything. When outside, I just use the regular wired Apple earbuds. Not sure how big of a difference AirPods would be. Ive seen people recommend not using AirPods for working out because of the sweat.

It’s up to you. I personally love AirPods, but if you’re happy with Apple earbuds, sell them. I worked out every day with both AirPods and AirPods Pro and never had issue even with the sweating. If you’re deeply invested in Apple ecosystem, I would keep them for the automatic switching between mac, iphone and iPad.

If you want to sell them, do it before the end of the summer, as AirPods 2 are rumored to be released and that will lower the price you can sell them.

I have the free ones on the way also with a M1 Mini. I need them for my Iphone SE2 because the wired ones won't work with any adapter I've tried. So I will be keeping mine.
