I am currently waiting to see what improvements the second generation AirPods Pro bring in October 2021. I got my son the current version for Christmas but I want a pair as well. An obvious improvement is battery life, reduced latency and a EQ interface. One other issue is volume controls. Could a swipe up/down gesture on the capacitive stem solve the problem? Also, longevity of use is a concern. From what I understand, these earbuds have a two year lifespan. That's pretty short for a device that retails for $250.
