This is consistent. I use them for conference calls with my MacBook Pro. I can only get through 2 hours of calls in a row before they die. Is anybody else experiencing this? I did the 15 second reset button trick on the case and re-paired but it didn't help.
AIRPODS, macOS Sierra (10.12.2)
I mentioned in my post that I tried that. Actually I got help from Reddit just now, apparently even though Apple says they have 5 hours of battery life they are talking about "listening time" and it's just 2 hours if it's "talking" time:
It's on the product info page.

There was also fully draining the case and the Airpods which I didn't see you mention. I guess I would have checked the specs first.
The 2 hour spec isn't listed anywhere on the product page or in any marketing materials. It's buried in the help article which is not linked to on the product page.
You're right. I wish they had this on the main product page. It's half of what the competitors' talk time is.
It was pretty sneaky of them to put the Product Information right on the Purchase page.
Although I still get less than 2 hours when on a conference call where I'm muted the entire time; I would think that should get me closer to the 5 hour mark...
Only getting 2 hours of battery life from AirPods
