Re: AirPods Pro
#22I will personally love to see someone justify spending $250 on wireless earphones whose batteries cannot be replaced. I'm a year and a half into my normal airpods and they already need new batteries.
Let me introduce you to the best pair of headphones for travel that I own:
Bose QuietComfort 20 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones, Apple Devices, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X9KV0HU
They are $250, wired and have a small battery brick that is not replaceable that is charged by micro usb.
The newer one by Bose is one of those neck things and is $300.

#23I love AirPods. I wear then 10+hrs a day (cycling between two due to charge). It isnt fair to judge before I've tried this, but I've never quite felt comfortable with the rubber seals
1. It feels like you are underwater
2. I want ambient sound coming thru, esp when i'm walking outside/etc.

People are already spending that much on the power beats pro, sennheiser momentum true wireless, and sony wf-1000xm3. It's only $50 more than the AirPods with wireless charging case.
These would be a day one purchase for me if I didn't already have the over-the-ear Sony WH-1000xm3 headphones for 90% of my listening and a recently purchased set of AirPods for the other 10%.

I am sooo going to buy them the moment they are available; convenience is totally worth it for me, even if they have to be replaced every year
what convenience? I do not understand the appeal of air pods over any other wireless earplug.

#26I started getting severe ear issues with my normal AirPods. Due to a lack of cushioning, my ear canals started getting damaged. It got very painful eventually (swimmers ear levels of pain). I stopped using them and went back to my Bose in ear headphones (that never gave me problems). These new AirPods seem to have cushioning. I might consider them.
Which Bose headphones do you use that don't give you trouble? It looks like the most similar pair would be the SoundSport Free?
Re: AirPods Pro
#27I'd buy them if they did a buyback program on the previous generation AirPods like they do for iPhones.

#28I just end up immediately closing these sites that don't work at all reasonably with a scroll wheel.
Me too! No clue why they keep doing that!
I tried the site on macbook touchpad and iPhone X, works _very_ well. Maybe the directly targeted audience use one of these?
I have no interest in AirPods but I think the page is super nicely done. Not something I'd like for every product I look at ever, but as a sort of unveiling I think is is nicer than a spec sheet.

#29I have a pair of the older ones. Say what you will, but if you have an iphone, they are incredible. Using one is great for podcasts and phone conversations. I hated on them for a while, but after trying, I'm a believer.
For me, the value of upgrading to this 'pro' model will be the quality of the noise cancelling. If as good as the recent releases from Sony and/or Bose, I will definitely get a pair.
Re: AirPods Pro
#30Do we know how it compares to regular AirPods in term of battery life?
Would had loved a way to swipe up and down to control volume instead of the force touch for noise cancellation. Next generation I suppose.
