What to expect as upgrade and when might it arrive ?
I have the first gen and they work fine, although battery doesn't seem to last as long. The hearing test/aid option in the second generation has arrived in the UK and I'd like to try that. I don't have too much trouble in that regard, but it might add something to the quality of music given that age will doubtless have some affect.
However, paying full price for the 3 year old AirPods Pro 2 does not seem sensible - and getting a genuine set at an attractive price is not so easy.
So I sit here waiting on what Apple might deliver in the AirPods Pro 3?
I've read about some of the rumours, such as
"The AirPods Pro 3 are expected to receive a redesign with a smaller case and updated stems, potentially retaining MagSafe and Qi2 support. Rumors suggest improved battery life, heart rate monitoring, and possibly temperature tracking, all powered by Apple’s new H3 chip."
Now that, plus the hearing test/aid facility, would represent a real step up on my first generation set.
What are your thoughts on what to expect & when? I'm expecting visitors from the US in July, so the opportunity to secure the $ price rather than the UK £ up tick would be nice.
