Airpods last 1 or 2 years depending on amount a person uses them. Have multiple colleagues that the AirPods battery became unusable at 2 years And they had to buy new ones
The original airpods, and to some extent the pro are disposable products. This is partly due to the nature of lithium ion batteries and partly by design. Lithium ion batteries lose capacity, a little bit, every time they are charged and discharged. The smaller the battery, the worse the loss. Not matter how good your product or how careful you are, the batteries will not hold much energy after around 1000 cycles.
Apple made the batteries nearly impossible to replace, and having Apple replace them costs nearly as much as a new set. So, it makes more sense to just buy new ones. Which Apple really likes. These are not like wired headphones which will work perfectly for years or even decades. The airpods are a massive profit stream for Apple.
life span, not battery life

Interesting, guess this is becoming the regular sale price to spur sales. Tempted but the relatively short lifespan of the batteries is disappointing (and expensive)

Short life span? I use them all day at work with no issues. I've usually got them on from around 6:30am till about 12 when I go to lunch. I put them in to charge in the case until I get back from lunch and then they are good until I get off work.

I've been using these every day for over a year and I am definitely satisfied. The airpod pros charge in ~15 minutes. This gives you ~3 hours of music listening time. A "long battery lifespan" is subjective. What EarPods have better battery lifespan and charge time with active noise cancellation? It's also good to consider the comfort and overall lifespan. If you get cheaper knockoffs or lesser brands, you're also not going to get Apple's customer service.

What makes you think they have a short life span?
