Why would they try to make the AirPods a worse purchase? Apple is happy to let you run whatever operating system on your Mac -- they aren't actively hostile there, but they don't help the community either.
Still, I would recommend the Sony WF-1000XM6 if you're not an Apple computer or phone user already. The UX is reportedly worse and a bit buggy, but the sound should be better.

Weird to praise Apple for the one line of devices they let you install your own operating system on and ignore that every other device doesn't.
You can configure them to pause them when you take them out of your ear, except when it is not an Apple device. They will refuse to do so, even though they clearly detect the event since you can no longer use the stem as a pause button when you do so.
Clearly they make it worse just because you didn't get an Apple device, so yeah idk what you're smoking but give me some.
yeah the fact that many things start working if you change the host ID to apple device is very sus. i retract.
