AirPods come in frickin' useful when I'm at work.
I get prodded to quickly answer questions a lot, so being able to pop one out and have it automatically stop whatever music/video I have on is pretty useful; and having it automatically resume when I pop it back in even moreso.
I find it funny that more people don't talk about how bloody good Apple's ecosystem is at integrating stuff together given it's probably one of the most seamless and useful parts of the whole thing.
