I own standard airpods as well and personally I like these a little better but that recommendation comes with some caveats. The big caveat with these is that the fit and size will not be for everyone. When I first tried these I thought they were extremely uncomfortable and almost returned them. However, after trying the different provided wings and eartips, I finally found a fit that worked for me and i now I don't notice them at all. Even after getting the fit down there will still be a bit of an adjustment if you are used to airpods. These are definitely heavier than airpods and if you don't get the sizing down they will fall our of your ears or place unwanted pressure on your ear while running.
Once I had the fit down, I grew to love them and they are now my go to exercise buds. Personally, I think the sound is fuller than standard airpods without going overly bass heavily. The available control app from Yamaha offers preconfigured and custom equalizer options to help tune the buds to your preference. Battery life has been excellent for me and I normally go a couple of runs/rides without having to charge them again. The case is also pretty solid but there are not strong magnets holding the buds in so they can pop out if the case is dropped.
I will say that AirPods are still probably better day to day earbuds just for ease of use, assuming you are an iPhone user, but if you want something for exercise and you can find the right fit, these are hard to beat for $50.
