I just got a pair for my wife since she was going on a long trip. She got back last weekend so I got a chance to try them out the other day for a while. If they were all I had, I'd think they were great. They definitely sound good. My normal commute in ears are Shure Aonic 4. The Air Pods lose easily to them. I do like the convenience of the Air Pods, though. The spatial sound thing is "neat" but the sound quality takes a pretty big hit. It feels gimmicky. I had been considering getting a pair for myself since they are on sale but, after comparing them, I decided against it.
