I gotta say, I am underwhelmed by this. I expected more of an upgrade. I guess I gave in to the rumors of "better bass response". What I'm most upset about is the lack of any kind of design improvement. I thought for sure they were going to bring the coating from the 2nd gen Apple Pencil to these to make them a little more grippy. I was also gonna jump like a bloodhound on a black or space gray color option. Wirless charging would be convenient, but I don't charge the case that often to care. Definitely not getting Airpower - I have enough wireless chargers around the house/office/car already.
I guess I'm waiting for Airpods 3

Out of curiosity what are the ones that do fit called? Would like to check them out
Bose SoundSport terrible product by design as they don't stay in my ears properly.

Use the S, M, L, XL silicon or S, M, L, XL foam tips that come in the box to get your desired fit.

Nope they don't fit properly in MY EARS, no matter what, so terrible product. LMAO.
I have the Bose SoundSport as well. I am using the medium tip (they are silicone, I believe). They do fit my ears, but I really hate how they feel and because they stick out, I've knocked them out of my ears twice.
Not fitting YOUR ears does NOT make them a terrible product. The AirPods don't fit everyones ears and no one says they are a terrible product.
I was also hoping for the grip coating. Sending an extra $14 for EarSkins to make them fit me seems wrong.

Your ears are shaped wrong.
yes, adding bulk to something already too bulky for my ear isn't going to help.

Mine are apparently between medium and large. Mediums do not seal all the way and slowly slide out. Large tips wiggle out and, once moving, the pressure of the tips expanding facilitates the outward movement until gravity takes over. Tried silicone and foam tips. Both suck. AirPods just work… for ME (and others, I suppose, given their popularity).
Got it. For some reason lots of people are buying airpods at the local store today, it it looks like those are 1st gen.
Reverse-engineering the URL from the online Apple store.
2nd gen without wireless: MV7N2AM/A
2nd gen with wireless: MRXJ2AM/A
2nd gen wireless case: MR8U2
Much appreciatedThe silicone covers that fit in the case are here.

Maybe the next gen air pods will be like the new Apple Pencil is or at least that’s what was rumoured.
The new AirPods are not available yet in stores. Probably not until Tuesday because the new IOS still needs to get released (yes they would still work but still)
