I got APP today, after switch to iPhone 12 Pro on 31 Oct. Got it at 37% off retail price during 11.11 sales. Coming from Jabra elite active 75T, I prefer APP as it was not too bass heavy.
What retailer had it on sale?!

Tbh I wouldn't recommend this product. I have come to really dislike these. The fit in my ears poorly, much worse than the regular Airpods (realize this might just be me) and the noise cancelling is good, but that's it. I bought them for better sound quality but I don't find that to be great or much better btw. After owning them a year, the battery deteriorates so badly they are pretty much useless (this is almost all airpods) and they function terribly. They connect poorly sound comes out of Airpod and not the other, you have to take them off an repair them over an over. You can't have calls on them because they pick up so much background noise they are useless. They software integration is so bad they never clearly tell you the battery that is left on them so you always run out at the wrong moment. They are and environmental nightmare, as they are easily lost and die fast. Airpods are nice in theory. Practically I don't think they live up to expectations.

I also had fitment issues with the Pros when I first got them compared to the regular Airpods. However, after swapping out the ear tips with some Comply foam tips, they are more comfortable and secure.
