Since these are rated for IPX4, does that mean you can clean them by washing with something that will dissolve ear wax? Could you clean them in your dishwasher? I have some of the original AirPods and I've never felt like I can get them thoroughly clean.
The TL;DR on these is "AirPods Pro without ANC", but comparing the two models there are more slight differences such as skin detection and longer battery life. Given that, the $180 price point is odd because the Pros occasionally drop to that level on sale. The new AirPods (and now the old Pros) now have a "MagSafe Wireless Case" which is compatible with the MagSafe charger supposedly, although there isn't more info…
The gen 2 AirPods had a Qi compatible case, I would imagine they wouldn’t remove that feature.

Sure, my previous ones lasted a long time, too. My point was simply that there's a weird trend to talk about this as an Apple thing rather than the global trend across most industries it actually is.
Well, because apple either started those practices or at least was the main responsible to popularize it.
No ear caps is instant no buy for me - I literally cannot keep the previous AirPods in my ear and if I do it causes aching, while I can use the pro’s without issue. Or is it just a refresh of the original AirPods?

I had the same worry before I bought my AirPods, but I was very surprised that I don't have any problem with them staying put.
I can even weight lift or row with them.

Honestly until you try wireless, you won't understand just how much better the user experience is to not have a wire.

I don't have a need for these, as the spatial sound isn't anything I need and I have a half dozen standard Apple or Apple-inspired earbuds that work just fine.
Apple Marketing sometimes can be incredulous: >"First with our contour design that delivers sound directly to your ears" What does that even mean?!? These are in-ear headphones, how else are they supposed to deliver sound? Feels silly to have such a comment to make a two point slide.

I was on this boat too until the Airpods pro. I'm much happier without the wire in virtually all cases, despite occasional bluetooth hiccups

I wonder what the skin detection is for?
