I will try it in another Apple store today, don't have big expectations however.
Have ordered a dbrand skin for the charging case, maybe it will reduce the clicking at least.
Got a tip for us?

I'm really impressed with the noise cancelling and the transparent modes. Its a lot of fun transferring between the modes in a noisy environment.
Absolutely, and that’s why people are overwhelmingly choosing AirPods over Samsung. Nice try at deflection though.
I choose to decide by myself. consumer reports often doesn’t get it. Love my AirPod pros.
which is flawed considered the buds are crap...two members of the family buds became faulty. and sound wise? no air pods pro are better...how they ranked higher is rather laughable.
My one criticism is I prefer the double dap of the old airpods. Once you set it up the way you like, it is quicker and less fiddly than the buttons I feel. Sure the buttons give more resolution and options. But to skip a track, a mindless double tap is quicker IMO.
Lol. Have you looked at recent iPad sales estimates? In a mature market with over all declining sales the iPad sales are growing. Take your FUD to another thread.
The AirPods 2 cost 140€ max here in Europe. So you’ll never get that much money back after using them for 2-3 years.
That should be a non problem for 2 years.....assuming you purchased the AppleCare+
I picked up mine at a local reseller and they are fantastic. The regular EarPods fall out of my ears but these fit perfect and the noise cancellation was excellent, although not as good as my over the ear Bose. The key is selecting the proper tip. I use a larger tip in my left ear and a regular tip in my right ear. You won't be disappointed.
there is no ONE Samsung product which is superior in regards to quality or use...Airpods are one of the best earphones, anyone who says Samsung earbuds are better are seriously deluded, they sound like them 20 pound headphones from Aliexpress
Nope.
Italy, AirPods 2 are €179 without wireless charging case, the Pros are €279.
And, again, I said that I was overlwhelmed by requests of my girlfriend’s, scratched-case 2016 Airpods 1 and that I sold them in 8 hours for €70 cash.
I’m almost 50, don’t need to lie.

i was at Apple Store this week, and was told they could be repaired(), as i am out of the 14days return deadline, but i will have to pay for that!
Wow... really? The lady at the phone said the authorized center will check for physical damage, then replace my case free of charge.
Tested the Pros against the Bose 700 on an airplane. Noise cancellation was superb and sound was isolated well since the Pros go directly into the ear as opposed to covering the ear. Dynamic range of Bose was greater than the Pros, but this should not be a significant issue. The one thing that is missing is a way to use the inflight entertainment system with the Pros; so I picked up the new Airfly Pro Bluetooth transmitter and will test this next week on another flight. And I will see how the Pros do on a 10 hour flight, where I will have to recharge mid-way, unlike the 20 hour Bose battery life. We shall see.
Today i am working at a small gas station, and the attendant is wearing only 1 earbud thingy. LOL! (Some might say he only wears one to be sensitive to customers....but my guess is there is a simpler explanation!)
Anyone remember the "ipod Flea" video on youtube from years ago? They nailed it! Still hilarious today.

This re-pairing you speak of is, i believe, derived from the concept of bluetooth pairing. Apple will happily sell you a new individual ear thingy, and can make it function as a "pair" with the good one.
(The misunderstanding may be attributed to unskilled nature of the job and high turnover at said Apple store.)
Ifixit made it quite clear these things are not able to be "fixed" in any way, shape, or form.
The AirPod Pros are amazing! I've had mine for a few days now and the sound is incredible! Hearing the sound difference when switching between the settings is CRAZY!!
I guess I have to try a pair. I mean, what's the point of noise cancellation if the AirPods are blocking your ear canal? At that point is it blocking the low-frequency stuff that's being conducted by your skull?
Anyone will recognize sound quality when they hear it. I have some reasonably good speakers, and when people hear them, they say, wow, that sounds really clear! I dont brag about my speakers, so that is a candid response.
But most people have never heard good sound...probably a movie theater is the best they have heard, which isnt necessarily the best.
People generally dont think critically about sound, so they adapt to whatever device they are listening to. But saying "i dont know and i dont care" /= sound quality is subjective!
I was at another Apple Store today, they told me the same thing: "Everything is normal and work as intended", just couldn't believe.
As next i went to online support (chat) and here i got what i wanted: i am getting a replacement and should sent my actual case for check/repair (they will block full amount on my credit card for the case it was my fault, but release it, if everything is ok).
Just hope, that replacement will be free of this annoying problem!
I already have so many set of earbuds including AP1 and 2. I'm kind of waiting before I spend another $250 after buying Power Beats Pro when they came out. I like to walk in the nice weather and its on a noisy street and the noise cancelling would come in handy.
