I've gotten close. One thing I have noticed is when I drop the case on the floor it's not at all uncommon for it to open and for one or both of the buds to fly out. One time this happened to me while I was in the security line at the airport and I had to awkwardly back out of the line and look around but luckily I found the errant pod.
I'm mostly losing them in my bed since the Airpods are a solid, partner-compatible way to fall asleep to music.
My biggest annoyance with the Airpods Pro is that no one sells custom molds. The right one fits with the small plug, but none of the three sizes that ship with the Airpods seem to be compatible with my left ear, it's extremely loose. In any case it's uncomfortable walking with them out on the streets or driving with my bike simply because I'm always afraid they will randomly fall off and get lost or destroyed.
I've heard, anecdotally, of people losing their airpods often. I haven't yet, but curious how common that problem is?
It must be a thing, since Apple lets you use your devices to find your missing AirPods, and they are even part of the FindMe network.
I've sometimes wondered how many AirPods have been flushed down toilets around the world. Even if only .001% of AirPods meet their demise this way, considering the number of AirPods sold, it must be a pretty good number.
The Find My network stuff isn’t coming until the fall. Right now they only update their location when connected to your phone, which is basically useless.
