If this is true, then I will be torn between the black and white versions. I have wanted black (or dark) AirPods for a while, but I will probably look to match my Silver iPhone and SS Watch.

Let’s see what actually gets released.
 
New AirPods definitely coming soon
Price seems to be a little too high I would think more in the range of $199-229. Hopefully these fit better and come in colors other than white
 
It’ll be hard for me to justify the short lifespan of the product (~2 years of good battery) to pay $270+ for these. If they lasted as long as my Bose noise cancelling (approx same price) that would be one thing, but the tiny batteries do not appear to have a long lifespan. Perhaps they will increase battery life on these to 10 hours and then it might be worth it (50% degradation would get you back to original airpods new)...only time will tell!

I gifted my girlfriend her AirPods on day 1 in 2016. They still work flawlessly.

AirPods are my daily driver for on the go headphones. I use Sony’s WF-1000XM2 over-ear for work (video and podcast editing). Great noise cancellation and audio quality. Nothing will replace those. I’d love some noise cancellation in AirPods though for commuting and whenever I’m not at my workstation. If all these rumors turn out to be true and we also see black, I’m in 110% on day 1.

Hopefully Apple releases eight colors. I’m probably going to stick with silver (white) AirPods Pro because I have the silver iPhone 11 Pro Max and Apple Watch.

I’ll def buy a pair but I think most people will be happy with standard AirPods at $159/$199.

You guys really underestimate Apple Lol. Millions of people will buy the new AirPods solely based on the color options.

Apple products are like water and food to a lot of people. Going to buy regardless, consistently.
 
If they stay in my seemingly Grand Canyon-esque, regular AirPods un-friendly ear canals, I'm all over these.
 
I don’t think this rumor has any solid base to be taken seriously.

As to the “pro” moniker, it’s been so abused that it now is more about differentiating the rich from the poor than anything else.
 
I am holding out until the next apple event...if they don't produce a more compelling wireless earbud, I might need to either chose the Sony's or even the master & dynamics.
 
As higher-end earphones, the AirPods Pro will likely have improved sound.

Translation: They've jacked up the price so much, even we can't comprehend it. They must have made them sound better, right guys? Right??? Have courage!!
