My 13-year-old daughter loves her music and her privacy, and for years she has wanted a pair of AirPods. I always considered them too expensive, however, so I bought her cheaper headphones like the Amazon Echo Buds. After expressing her disappointment in not getting "real" AirPods, she ended up "losing" those cheap headphones. Somehow. So last year, when I saw that the actual Apple AirPods Pro 2 were on sale for $169, I pounced. She's happy, she uses them every day and she hasn't lost them yet.
