Yea, my 2nd gen Airpods are cooked after 4½ years of use. I get maybe 45min to an hour of battery and they’re tinny and quiet and the microphones speed working. A far cry from their performance when they were new but for listening to podcasts on the go they’re still good enough…
I mean, let’s be honest, earbuds have always kind of been consumables. Before wireless, when the cable eventually broke, you had to get new ones. Now, it’s when the battery dies. The difference is, AirPods 2 are 150€ and EarPods, which are basically the same thing, just wired, are 20€…

Is the ghosting somehow related with the AOD?
That is a feature that I always have off in mine, and I have it since 2020 using it daily and no issues about this so far.
