✓ Well, for sure, I don't actually use lace headphones, but I tend to use AirPods since they are more practical and they don't get ripped easily, so they just need to be charged fully.
Error: incorrect verb form and redundant words. 'need to get charged' is awkward; use passive 'need to be charged'. Also remove duplicate 'fully' and add commas for clarity. Suggestion: use concise passive constructions and avoid repetition.
× Well, I, well, I usually use uh, Airpods and uh, wired headphones whenever I can't find my Airpods.
✓ Well, I usually use AirPods and wired headphones whenever I can't find my AirPods.

× So basically, umm, so basically, uh, Airpods are more practical to me uh, because they are easy to use and uh, more practical.
✓ So basically, AirPods are more practical for me because they are easy to use.
Error: awkward preposition and repetition. Use 'for me' rather than 'to me' in this context, and avoid repeating 'more practical'. Suggestion: simplify to a single clear reason.

Errors: incorrect phrase 'not a good behavior' (use 'bad manners' or 'rude'), incorrect use of 'would rather to' (correct is 'would rather not' or 'would rather do something'), and awkward punctuation. Suggestion: use 'when' instead of 'whenever' for habitual context and 'wear' instead of 'put'.
