You just like the thought of it or do you actually use them in conditions where that would be helpful. I’ve used EarBuds, Pro 1, and Pro 2 during workouts and in light rain with no issues at all. I tend to get out of the rain in downpours or at least use an umbrella, so don’t plan on ever putting that to the test.

Honestly? Even though I haven’t tried any other wireless headphones? AirPods Pro 2. Maybe go for the 3rd gen now that they’re out. Unless you’re an audiophile and very discerning with your sound, these are excellent. They work seamlessly with iOS devices. They sound decent. Noise canceling works great. Call quality is great. You can talk outside. Inside. In the wind. With noise around you. People can still hear you. They are comfortable. You can leave them in even when not using them and they automatically turn on transparency mode so you can hear those around you. Battery life is enough. Especially with the case they will recharge them in minutes.

I agree with you, yesterday I used my airpods 3 Pro for couples of ours, when I got em off I got scared by the loudness the surrounding

I’m also interested in this. I use AirPods Pro 2 most of the time. They work but I don’t love them. I was looking for wired headphones as well.

can confirm: got Pro 2 V5.3 HR+ from Jenny, ANC is OKish with music ON, but non-existant without

same here, couldn't get a good fit with any of the tips. I'm not sure I have a deformed head, but it also crackled a lot (probably the foam expanding/contracting) when I talked with it, which was truly annoying. Never had that with any of the previous versions, so sticking with my Pro 2 for the time being...
