My understanding is that there is a mode where Bluetooth protocols can be transmitted over Wi-Fi for higher bandwidths. Not sure that would be feasible on AirPods Pro though.

Almost 3 years away nobody but the Apple development team knows anything at this point of time
These will be a Day 1 purchase for me. I use my 1st Gen AirPods Pro every day.
Main thing I want is better batttery life, hopefully 7+ hrs (and 35+ for the case).

You’re better off with a $20 pair of EarPods honestly
I wish apple would give us an electrostatic driver for the highs, Balanced armature for the mids and a dedicated dynamic driver for the lows! Call them air pod ultras. Take my $349
That would be an OS or Application settings instead of something in the headphones, MacOS Music has a customizable EQ while iOS Music has EQ presets.

I legit just sniffed my airpods (my wife looked at me like I’m nuts), dont smell anything. Maybe you’re sensitive to some chemical in the glue or something most of us dont notice, weird.
You can get replacement tips, just like with airpods (which, btw, you should check if it’s the tips or the airpods themselves that smell weird to you, different materials)
Also people usually just call those XM4s, not the whole name, if that makes it easier for you
Same here!
Sony really have not got a knack for easily memorable, trip off the tongue names.
I also have the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones and they are just perfect.
My biggest annoyance with the Sonys is the voice that keeps telling me I have switched between devices. Grrrrr! I know I have. FFS!
Edit:
Yes, yes, all the people who get outraged by someone liking another brand, just remember that sound is definitely one of those very personal things that vary from person to person.
I am not an Apple "hater".
Ah, but then what do I call my Sony WF-1000XM4? 🤣

2nd gen AirPods Pro has much better battery life. I’m guessing that because the ear detection sensor of the 2nd generation doesn’t emit light (invisible to human eye) that it saves battery energy.

I'm hoping my suggestion to look like a glob of earwax coming out your ear finally gets implemented.
Fellow tinnitus sufferer here also. There are already some nice apps out there with dials that you can tune to your tinnitus frequency. I've had some luck with them, definitely worth a try. Just Google it and you'll find some.
I am hopeful of a new noise-canceling that won't give vertigo. I'm among the few that the noise canceling affected my balance, especially when waking up. Once I turned that feature, the symptoms went away. I know it's weird, but I'm not alone.
I wish that Apple would offer EQ controls for audio in general outside of the Music app. What happens if you want to adjust the audio on some other audio app?
