Sounds like the batteries in yours are not working properly. I have 1st gen, and mine last me like 4hrs.

For that price they had better sound good. Sound that's even 15% better than the things included with iPhones is not worth the money. I also believe a cord or something should come with it so you can tether them together. At that price it would really suck to lose one.
How long have you owned them out of interest? Also suffering with mine. Get about 1 hour 15 mins out of mine now (since Dec '16)
i think some of the recent pods released are finally better than the airpods but the airpods have been the standard for 2+ years. i don't think apple will disappoint here but we'll see.
I'd be more inclined to spend that much money on something that you don't have to throw away when the batteries die off. It seems the new Sony model does have (sort of) replaceable batteries at least.
Despite buying everything Apple makes for the last 20 years, these just have no interest to me. I love the standard AirPods and don't use them for their sound quality but their convenience and magical interface (double tap, hey Siri and how fast they pair when I just need to make a call) For musicologists listening, I still use dedicated sound isolating earphones from Shure that are 15 years old and you'll have to pry them away from my dead hands. AirPods are great for calls and convenient when I ned to hear my surroundings like on a busy train but for long flights, reading, chilling I won't be buying AirPods Pro.
With AirPods, just like with iPhone X, Apple outdid themselves. That's the reason, after 2+ years after they come out, people still wonder- "meh, do I really need an update? These still works good even now". (with exceptions, of course).
I'm not sure I get exactly what you're trying to get at with this question. Things happen, headphones can get lost. But AirPods are a lot easier to lose, so having an optional tether would be nice.
For $269 they better be amazing in every facet. That's a steep price. I better be getting Sennheiser sound quality with extra health features and some cool new feature.
Almost two years, got them in Dezember 2017. Hmm, maybe after two years, the battery-capacity starts to decline?
In the same boat as you. I also got the PowerBeats Pro which I am 90% satisfied with, almost 100%. The only thing holding them back a bit is the gigantic charging case. I'm sure Apple will retain a small pillbox shaped case for the new AirPods so I'm a little at a loss on what to do...
But to be fair, we don't know how these will fit us. They might be a poor fit just like the original AirPods, even with the assistance of the in-ear tips.
This seems excessively expensive. It sounds like the new Jabra's is a better deal.
Ah yes, the predetermined hate has begun for a product not even released or tested.
The haters will once again eat their words as they did with AirPods. Remember when people laughed at those?

For those carping about the price already, I’m sure the standard AirPods will remain available for you and the peasant class.

They laughed at the iPod, they laughed at the iPhone, they laughed at the iPad (remember the feminine napkin jokes), they laughed at the HomePod, they now laugh at the new Mac Pro. Nothing has changed in forty years. Nothing to see see here. Move along.

I see that same sentiment about the rumored Apple glasses and it’s like Deja vu.
These belong as a higher tier product.
I have no interest in a different design or noise cancellation. What I like about AirPods is that they're not a giant boom fest, and I still hear my surroundings.
