Airpods Pro 2 - case has vents on bottom?

[jsunem]

Hey, I just opened up my new Airpods Pro 2 and was about to move them into the same protective case I used for Airpod Pro 1 and noticed 3 vent holes on the bottom to the right of the USB-C port and 1 to the left. I'm guessing these are here for a reason (maybe venting?) My protective case would cover these. Is that a bad idea? Should I make sure these remain uncovered? (I can drill holes in the existing case or find a new one that doesn't cover them).

Maybe for the speaker?

They're holes for the speaker.
