The article doesn’t even mention the change in AirPods’ “one-size fits most” design. Most people I know have refused to go past 2nd gen due to the new fit.

Uh, yes it does absolutely mention that.

But curiously, Gurman says that neither is likely to include replaceable silicone ear tips; we’ll probably get the same one-size-fits-most, open-air design that the standard AirPods have always had.

If they ditch the silicone tips, how are they expecting to achieve premium fit and noise cancelling? Seems like a bad move IMO.

As an owner of the AirPods 1 and the Pro, I absolutely agree.

Personally even with the changeable tips I’ve had issues with fit and staying in over a short period of time, so this just feels like further backwards in functionality, configurability, and comfort.

All around what-the-fuck-is-this bs

Well, it’s still a rumor at this point, so who knows what’s actually going to happen. If they actually do that, I’m going to stick with my current buds until they die. If buying second hand buds doesn’t work out, I may have to go back to Bose or Sennheiser.
