Touch volume control removes my biggest pain point with the original. I might actually get two: one for my Apple devices and another for Windows/Android

Re: AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)
#12I love my AirPod Pros, but I hate how unreliable charging in the case is. The AirPods will often think they are out of the case, when they are, and discharge themselves, while connected to my phone/laptop.
Then they will re-charge, emptying the battery in the case, so I will end up with a dead pair of AirPods after a couple of days in the pocket, not using them.
I guess their tolerances are too tight, hopefully something that will be fixed with AirPod Pro 2, it is a big annoyance.
Some times they will also not pick up that they are being put into my ears, so I have to put them back in the case a couple of times for them to react. Really annoying too.

#13I would love to buy AirPods one day, but I have just had too many experiences telling someone on Zoom they sound like they’re under water, and they say, “hold on a sec that’s my AirPods.” If Apple could fix that issue, this would be a nice product! Unfortunately I don’t know how Apple could ever signal to me that they had fixed that issue.
Anecdotally, I've never had this issue. Is it something that happens often?
Yeah two way bluetooth bandwidth is too low to support high quality audio. People speaking on airpods sound horrible

#14Very impressed by the H2's computational algorithms. Those are the most advanced type of algorithms.

#15Adaptive Transparency is such a promising feature. I would love if transparency mode could eliminate the sound of noises like air conditioners, road noise, and construction while still being "transparent". It seems that, as of now, it's limited to loud noises only.
I hope it at least eliminates the hear-loss-causing pops that occur when you have loud, brief clicking noises like that of a bug zapper. For older models, you should never use the Airpods next to a bug zapper. I learned the hard way, in the form of tinnitus.

#16does the mic still pick up literally everything though?
That's what I'm wondering. It's impossible to do anything while on a call without the other side complaining that it sounds like I'm banging cutlery on my pots.

Is there a light that indicates charging? I know with my super cheap earbuds I rely heavily on that light to avoid the problem you describe...

I’ve never seen anyone use them for non Apple devices , how well do they work?

Yep. Airpods simply do not support decent sounding duplex audio: https://youtu.be/N6Y_Q7RYmmY?t=351

#20nothing on improving the mic and moving away from bluetooth =(
> A redesigned inward-facing microphone works with voice enhancement algorithms to better recognize and articulate your voice, so it sounds more natural when you’re on phone and video calls.
Also where are you getting "moving away from bluetooth"? That was a rumor (that they might move to their U1 tech for better audio quality) but they didn't mention that in the presentation nor is it mentioned on their site.
