I upgraded my original Pro's to the second gen's. The day after I did that, I dropped my originals in water in a pretty much improbable way. Instant karma.
Got a tip for us?

I have the same exact issue!
Well it was my wife’s case… I gave her my brand new case thinking I could deal with the charging issue… after 8 months I’m ready for an upgrade.
There's enough cool new features in there to make it a worthwhile upgrade for pretty much everyone. I think one of the most appealing things though for many of us will be a new battery.
Not confirmed but two of the top leakers have said they will release a new case when the iPhone 15 comes out with usb c.
interesting... did not know they had a membership. Just looked it up and looks like it's no longer a thing, it's just all one program now.
Yep. I’m hoping (but will use apples generous return policy if wrong) that the new Bluetooth standard will make using a windows laptop with the AirPods easier - minimising failed disconnects, having to reconnect every few hours and maybe even improving the microphone quality.
The new ones seem to support BT 5.3, while the original only support 5.0.

If you have no luck, then it may be the laptop’s Bluetooth chip that’s to blame & a USB Bluetooth dongle may be the way to go.
I’ve had a pretty seamless experience with my 3 year old Lenovo laptop (T560?) & my OG AirPods + AirPods Pro. It’s almost as if the laptop was an Apple branded one with how responsive & reliable it’s been Bluetooth-wise.
Yea ordered. Want to see how much they have improved the sound in 3 years.
applecare might be needed given the issues I had with my first pros with the sound going in left ear

You have applecare? How much is the repair?I have the AirPods Pro out for repair and the AirPods Pro 2 on order, so hopefully, something will work.
It’s total tech or something like that. 200 a year. But most anything bought has free two year warranty. AppleCare plus for apple products.
I did this for MacBook and a few other things. MacBook alone would be 149 a year.
I have not kept pace with the change in language but I have gotten free installations, free removals, discounts beyond what others see in the BB pages, etc.
I only shipped it off this morning, so no idea. I hope it'll be free as I have only owned it since March / April.
I love my APP so an even better version was an automatic purchase for me.
I was thinking of waiting a few months for a deal (I purchased my APP during one of the Amazon sales where they were like $70 off), but I use it every day so I am willing to pay MSRP to get them now.

Or ship them off to Apple for audio issues. May get lucky and get new ones if they fail to pass the test.
Under that 3 year program for Airpods sold before october 2020.

Thats what I did last week and got new ones after 2 years and 10 months or so.
I keep going back and forth between upgrading from the Pro1 to the Pro2. The battery life isn't as good with my Pro1 but it is still quite workable and most of the time I don't notice the lesser capacity of the battery charge. On the other hand, having a Pro model with improved noise cancellation is really enticing. But then, on the other hand, if I upgrade to the Pro2, what am I going to do with the Pro1? The Pro1 still works quite well.
Maybe I'll wait for reviews to see really how much better is the improved noise cancellation. That would be the most desired feature.

Ecologically, that is a good idea! I'm leaning towards that way too, although I am itching for improved noise cancellation.
If you decide to go for the 2, just sell your pro 1. I sold mine for $100 and they have plenty of life and love left for the next user. The used market is very strong for these little buds.
