The use case that I'm interested in is being able to have just one bud in my ear (to be able to hear what's going on around me) without the other one dangling. To me, that's worth the money.



I think that might not be possible with AirPods. One of it's features is that it stops playing music when you take out one of the ears.


No, it looks like you can listen to just one:

"Optical sensors and motion accelerometers work with the W1 chip to automatically control the audio and engage the microphone, giving you the ability to use one or both AirPods."


You can buy the fake ear accessory for only another $75.
