Winner - AirPods, but not by much. I didn't have any complaints with my T25s. AirPods are just a bit cleaner. Non-snobs will have no problem with Aukey.
Phone calls
Winner - AirPods: The T25s work,. but the sound for the caller is horrible. I don't make enough calls to care. Maybe the T27s are better? If so, that would be major. But AirPods are great for calls.
Noise cancellation
Winner - AirPods
It's active. It works well. But the Aukey is no slouch. I can mow with the T25s, no problem. Drowns out background noise just fine.
Style:
Winner - Aukey
I can't stand the white drip. The T25//27 looks great in black!
Comfort
Winner - AirPods
Just by a dash. They're a bit lighter. Absolutely no complaints about the Aukey though. Both are extremely comfortable for long sessions.
Value
Winner - Aukey
No contest
Overall
AirPods - If you make calls and are an audiophile,
Aukey - If you're anti-social and truly "good" sound is good enough, Aukey wins by a mile.
And personally, I'm an outdoorsman, so I will constantly drop things on a trail, in the lake, and run small things through the washer/dryer by accident. I won't buy sunglasses more than $20. Same with earbuds. And, as a long time SlickDealer, I'm also always impressed by value.
For casual music/podcasts, these can't be beat! If I had $200 to spend, I'd much rather have 8 sets of Aukeys!. (I paid $16.57!)

It doesn't have active sound cancelling, but it also doesn't cost $200. The sound isolation is decent and it's plenty loud enough to cover up ambient sounds. It's good enough that if I leave one earbud in after a call, it's somewhat disconcerting after a while to have one ear so muffled.
I've had no complaints from anyone during a phone call in the car or around the house, but I've no experience with phone calls in a loud or windy environment.
Waterproof rating is great and for around the house they're awesone, but I would be nervous about losing them biking, skiing, or kayaking. They haven't fallen out yet but I find myself pushing them in to snug them every now and then, which is sometimes interpreted as a single tap to pause. Aukey has a similar priced pair with over the ear clips that might hold tighter for active sports.

The T25s have a very small form factor, so they stay in my ear really well and they sound good but the touch controls are extremely sensitive, any time I even try to adjust them, they end up pausing whatever I'm listening to. The battery life on them isn't great but they do have an easy to see indicator so at least I know when to charge them. Also, they unfortunately have a terrible build quality as I've been through 3 replacements already.
The 21s are basically the opposite with the exception that they also sound good lol. Much bigger form factor, so they fall out a lot. Touch controls just don't work at all, can never get them to register so I don't bother. The battery life is excellent but the case doesn't even have a battery life indicator, so you have no idea how many charges you have left. The build quality is good though, I still have my original pair from over a year ago.
Given how different the T21s and T25s are, I'd actually really like to know how these new ones are. Also, just want to add that for the money, both are still a great value but I'd rather pay a bit more for one set that incorporates the best features of both of the earbuds I have instead of needing two different sets for different reasons.
