I can think of several:


1) Comfort - at least for me, the AirPods don't fit comfortably in the wrong ear

2) Higher chance of falling out - since they're angled differently they likely won't fit as well are are more likely to fall out

3) Spatial awareness - any app that's using spacial sound (including many games) might sound off since what should be on your left sounds like it's on your right.


Other than that, the AirPods themselves likely don't care one way or the other.
