My regular airpods, which are now three years old, are tanks. I use them now exclusively for running/exercising and they won't die. My new ones are better for the sound isolation/listening to music, but they rattle now and do migrate out of my ears when I talk too much, so the latter part of meetings is usually a little annoying with me needing to constantly re-adjust them.
My old AirPods went through the washer on accident and wouldn't power on. After dunking them in some rubbing alcohol and charging them, they still work flawlessly to this day.
Same here. The battery is obviously not what it was (I get about 90mins of phone calls before I have to start the 1-in-ear-1-charging dance), but apart from that, and despite my typically abusive treatment (fell on tarmac and tiles multiple times), they still work great. I was considering a switch to the Pro but after this post I'll have to reconsider...
