Why not selling them and buy more open and easier to use earbuds?
There isnt even 3 "open" models of earphones that you can name, and there definitely isnt broad support in any os to configure them. This is great compared to the rest tbh
Good question, but how possible is to sell airpods used? Do people buy them easy?
Usually yes. Obviously it depends on the price
Here's the thing. They're really good earbuds. I prefer them (and the 3.5mm wired ear pods) to the alternatives because the sound, mic, and especially noise cancellation, are all really great.
