Mine were launch as well and up until now I had no problems. They did act up a bit when I first got the Pro Max.
Got a tip for us?

Any reason to have both Powerbeats Pro and Airpods 2?

ok, I hope you never do. All I can tell you is my experience, which isn’t alone, and the store had qualms about switching me to the APP.
OP, similar use case. PBP are perfect for running/workouts because they are secure even when they get sweaty, although they do hurt my ears after a couple of hours. APP are for pretty much everything else And are much easier to carry around and use due to the smaller charging case.
I use both. I find the original design much more comfortable and easier to use for day-to-day use. Taking out an AirPod is much nicer with the original design that just ”hooked”. The new design is a pain since you have to create a seal.
I only use my AirPods Pro when travelling, listening to music, or using motorized equipment like my lawnmower, weed whacked etc.

I can wear the old AirPods all day with no problems. The new ones make my ears sore after an hour or two.

Count me as another who uses both. I really thought I was going to sell my PBP when I got the AirPods Pro but the AirPods just don't cut it at the gym: They constantly get loose and require adjustment. PBP are just glued in. But I love the AirPods for the smaller case and noise cancelling. I also find its bluetooth connection to be more reliable.
This is exactly it for me. Especially for running, I'm sure the Airpods would fall out.
Now that I have mine back from Apple I will have both. Apple had to replace my right earbud that stopped working. Don't know why. But I now have both and still prefer the PBP's in the gym. They just work better and I don't have to worry about them falling out especially when doing certain exercises.
