Im torn here. My AirPods fit me perfectly and there really isn’t anything I don’t like about them. I use them every day. Ok, I love them. I said it. And I’ve had a million different in ear headphones and I’ve always hated the rubber tips. But with all the said I know I will be preordering these the second they go live.

How are you torn if you’re gonna order them right away anyway? Lol.

I’ve been waiting to buy AirPods for a couple of weeks now, I hope they announce this tomorrow, the rumors and having to constantly be patient is making it difficult now..

I’m guessing a November event right before the Apple TV+ launch to reiterate how great it is as it’s one of the major cashcows in the horizon.
Kind of hard to do considering ATV+ launches November 1st
 
I really hope these colors come to the regular AirPods as I really don't like using the rubber suction in ear style of earphones. The normal AirPods are a perfect and comfortable fit for me.

Would love black/gray AirPods, I was never a fan of the bright white style.

I would love to have matching Airpod 2 headphones without having to go to Colorware. Glad they exist, but getting a little tired of paying more than $400 for headphones just because Apple refuses to make anything other than white headphones. I’m with you. Not a fan of the color white. Would rather have space gray and dark green.
 
Noise Cancelling, multiple colors, better sound, and secure fits. I have 0 issues with the current AirPods Gen 2 but man Apple making it hard haha. Might get these in black.

You might be the only one other than Sir Ive who agrees.

Wait... maybe you're EAR TWINS!

Double the price. Requires more maintenance. Have to shove in ear so less comfortable. Yep sign me up lol. No thanks I’ll keep the cheaper airpods. They serve their purpose much better than these rumored ones.

If I need noise canceling I’ll stick with Bose over the ear. The airpods are simply for convenience and replacing the wired ones.
 
We don't know much about them yet apart from what they look like. I am sure that Apple may do a little more than offer more colours, add a little rubber to them and add £100 to the cost.
 
With any luck this is untrue. Those... things... are fugly beyond comprehension and look incredibly uncomfortable. A poor replacement to how comfortable the current model of ear/AirPods.

Why does it have to be untrue? Just don't buy them.... Just because something looks ugly to you, and doesn't work for you.... does not mean someone else wont like them or appreciate them. People have serious issues these days...."I don't like it so it shouldn't exist!"

I figured they were missing out on potential profits by not releasing jewelry-like rose gold airpods, but I guess those would need to be an metal finish.
 
the renderings look ugly, but i can imagine the real product will look ok. i'm still hoping that they will transfer these color options to the regular airpods 3, cause not everyone wants in on this in-ear action.
 
Need these. Been using my AirPods every day for over 2 years and the battery life is horrible now. Been listening to a podcast for 50 minutes at medium volume and they're at 39%.

Which similar headphones have little screws? Going green is not a yes or no proposition and one thing doesn’t invalidate the work and there may be reasons for certain designs.

The inability to replace the battery makes the AirPods disposable, but they need not be. That wastes both money and resources. Frankly, that's the only thing holding me back from buying them. It just seems wantonly profligate.

Even the old air pods are lasting me all week easily...not sure the issue battery life wise

This likely depends on how often and how long you use them. Others are not so fortunate. It just seems odd that Apple hasn't done a little more work to allow the battery to be replaced. It's not rocket science and it is a huge company.

This, exactly... I'm quite happy with the current design of AirPods, but would like some additional color options.

yes, i sure hope they don't treat them as the "unpro" airpods and rid them of all of the add-ons. i'm ok with the white color, i'm mostly concerned about the technology.

are the stems on these going to be smaller? I just can’t with the current ones. They look horrible to me. Black and half the size and I might be in.
 
I ordered them to replace the original AirPods I got at release. Did not see any options for a color - even black. Anyone else see anything besides white?
