That being said, there are a few quirks about the headset. I've set up Siri on the right pod and Alexa on the left pod. Triggering Siri takes an extra second or so, and the audio feedback that it triggered is so muted that you really don't hear it. I just triple tap the right pod (I've set it up on the triple tap), wait for 2 seconds and then just speak what I want to. Just have to assume Siri got invoked. It works most of the time. But it's inconvenient not having the audio cue that it triggered.
Another issue is that battery readout happens in the Alexa app and once in a while it doesn't show up immediately. Sometimes have to close the case, reopen and try a couple of times and then it'll show up.
For the iPhone, if one is not on a budget I would suggest the AirPods Pro. But compared to regular AirPods 2 or AirPods 3 I would definitely recommend these instead. Like I said the price difference is too big to ignore.

That all being said for the price these are good. I have two sets on in my work bag and one on my dresser for when the wife is watching tv and I on my phone or iPad. These connect to two devices simultaneously which is pretty neat. I use the pair on my work bag as a headset when I'm away from my office.

You get better battery life, water resistance and (potentially) better sound quality. But you do miss out on multipoint connection.
