    Isn’t it time for new AirPod Pros? (He says, waiting for a reason to upgrade from his first-edition AirPods…)

      Just just did that last year. The second gen air pod pros released in September. They usually do 2-3 years between headphone generations.

        Ah, you’re right. I thought it was longer … time is weird these days…

      Maybe they can fix the fucking microphones on the pros. The 2nd gens are maybe worse than the 1st gens which already sucked. I get so many complaints and recently just broke down and bought a pair of wired headphones just for video calls. Great headphones, but just laughably bad for calls.

        This is a Bluetooth problem, it doesn’t have the bandwidth for two high quality audio streams.

          I don’t really buy that because I know people with other BT headsets that don’t have this same problem. When I have phone or video calls using my Pros everyone complains that I sound quiet and far away and they can barely hear me. It’s not even a matter of quality, they can barely even hear me. Better yet, I even have some people complain sometimes that fairly mild background noise is louder than my voice.

          The mics just suck.
