Sandra E. Garcia, New York Times:

Recently, after having dinner in Midtown Manhattan, I put on my AirPods Pro as I walked to the subway station. I began getting hot, so I gently pulled off my red beanie while at 58th Street and Broadway. Then it happened.

The AirPod in my right ear fell out. By the time I realized it, the headphone was about to hit the concrete. I tried to catch it, but it fell past my reach.

It bounced off a metal chair, then disappeared through a subway grate and into the abyss.

An entertaining anecdote, especially interesting if you’ve ever spent any time in New York City.
