The ANC is great. What do you believe is the issue with it? As far as a larger case, the inky reason for a larger case is a larger battery.

AirPods Pro Now 1,000 Days Old: What to Expect From Next Model

Sure. But there is a reason the APP is is a best seller.
1.Will the better codec be supported in Spotify or only Apple Music?.
2. The sleeper surprise of iPhone 14 will be high res audio!!!!! Probably Apple is working on a higher bandwidth protocol than BT. So, a big mess of Interoperability but higher quality of audio.
3. Dream: AirPods Max to be firmware updatable to support high res audio.

being a best seller only implies being popular. it doesn't not imply good quality. now that is not to say that APP has bad quality. it is a decent all rounder. however, the galaxy buds pro or buds2 is cheaper and is objectively better than the APP in terms of sound quality. APP is a decent TWS but is not essential
We’re not discussing pet rocks.
Pretty much all of the current apple products are good quality.
Citation for galaxy buds pro being objectively better vs subjectively better?
if you think popularity = quality, then i suppose you also think beats and raycons are some of the best on the market. not all apple products are good quality. from butterfly keyboards to nondurable cables to horrifying value of homepod minis to apple's own software updates that brick their whole computers, apple definitely has their fair share of bad quality products. here is your citations: https://crinacle.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Galaxy-Buds-Pro.jpg and https://crinacle.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Airpods-Pro.jpg
I’m happy with just about everything with the current version, but seriously, how hard would it be to have the case check in with say my Apple TV or something periodically to assist find my AirPod? Wouldn’t affect battery life if it was once an hour or day.
Whether or not in the totality of considerations of what product a consumer may pick winds up by being completely subjectively, based on a consumers preference and priorities.
Hard to believe it’s been 1000 days already. I love mine and if all the new features are true will be buying the new ones immediately.
there will always be people with different opinions when it comes to how good something sounds. however, the general consensus is that the buds2/pro are better than the APP in sound quality. with brand new buds2/pro costing somewhere between 100-130 when on sale and the APP costing somewhere between 170-200 on sale, it would be wrong to call the APP "essential" when you get TWS that is slightly "better" at sometimes half the cost.
Then you have faulty ones. I had a similar experience with my first set. Almost no bass, barely effective ANC. They were replaced under warranty and it was a difference like day and night!
I just hope that they will be better for making phone calls in noisy environments. It is not suitable for making calls while driving since the other side hears a lot of background noise. My Sennheiser BT headset makes the same car and speed sound like I'm a lone in a soundproof room! So, it is easily possible to do
I’ll only be interested if the sound quality is significantly upgraded. I really want to like AirPods Pro, having to disconnect and reconnect to switch devices is infuriating with other earphones. However when earphones at half the price beat them out at sound by a mile, it’s hard to justify them.
I'm blown away that they don't spec bump or color bump or "any kind of bump" these products more often.
These are the kinds of things that lend themselves to more impulse/gift/recurrent buying ... and they've just been left to languish as is.
Not saying they aren't very good -- just seems like they are leaving money on the table here by not slightly refining them over time and offering some subtle variations.

I bought a pair in 2020 and I have mixed feelings about them. I had to exchange them twice because they'd lose connection or start crackling at random. They never seem to really fit securely although they're fine 95% of the time. And the guessing game of which device they'll connect to is frustrating. On the plus side, they're convenient, sound decent to me, and I like the spatial audio on the Apple TV. I do wish they had more noticeable colours because they tend to go flying across the room thanks to the case not really latching shut in any real way.
easily the best tech from apple, use my mine everyday from commute, exercise, walking around the city, travel, name it. Owned it since 2019 and replaced the tip once (M). Still looking like new. Might sell when second gen arrives.
They constantly fall out my ears as well.
Which foam tips do you guys use? Any recommendations?
