These look very good. My ears do not like in-ear earphones though, so I will be sticking to my standard AirPods.
Interested to hear peopleās thoughts on them when theyāre out.

I really donāt like in-ear ones that echo you munching and walking and breathing and generally just doing things. Is it just me that seems to experience this with in-ear ones?

I will do what I usually do when Apple releases something. I will announce I am not buying them and say that they are overpriced, then buy them in a few months anyway.

One thing I do wish my current AirPods had was noise cancelation so itās nice to see these launch.
I donāt really use my current ones enough to justify any upgrade though.

My current AirPods are Gen 1 from release week so they are probably due an upgrade. But I agree that proper in ear plugs can make me feel a bit like Iām in a fishbowl. I might have to go to a store to ask if I can try them/return if uncomfortable.
Donāt forget to download iOS 13.2. Itās needed for AirPods Pro. As well as Message Announce for AirPods Amateur.
They have an in built vent so that shouldnāt happen with these.

I find my existing AirPods let too much sound through. On the London Underground, Iād have to turn them up so loud to hear through over the background noise that it would get uncomfortable. Hoping these AirPods Pro might solve that, though Ā£249 does seem quite high.
Also wondering just how sweatproof they are for exercise.
My thing with in-ear is that when running the rubber gets slippery with the sweat so they would just fell off. I wonder if they thought about that.
I did at first, but your brain filters it out quickly. When I bought my first, every footstep i took felt like it was being echoed across my head, and swallowing sounded like a boom through my head. Now I genuinely donāt hear it - Iām assuming its filtered out rather than me adjusting every move my body makes to be easier for the earphones.
I just got PowerBeats Pro a couple of months ago which i love - great sound, fit perfectly in my ears and the hooks keep them in place in the gym or on the tube, but if i hadnāt bought them, Iād probably try these.
I did the same a few days ago, still unsure if I should refund them and get the AirPods Pro 
Iām sure they have given their focus on āHealthā. I run with my current AirPods with no āslipperyā issues so canāt see how adding rubber would make this a problem.
Yup, looking at some of the reviews Iām already pondering them.
But no, far too expensive (even though they are similar price to other noise cancelling headphones)!!
I donāt really need them anyway, my current AirPods work just fine.
But my current pair are First Genā¦ battery life starting to dropā¦ (just like my resolve!)

Whats the connectivity like when exercising?
Iāve had some Fitbit Flyers (replaced once because the sealant glue disintegrated, and is happening again) and found that the cable incredibly annoying, the sound is relatively poor, they drop connection every so often and they slip out of my ears a lot.
I wouldnāt usually buy Beats, but the sports ones look great and would probably fit my needs as long as the connectivity is reliable.
Mine are 1st Gen, too. No issues with battery life yet, but I keep leaving the charging case behind. So I was just about to drop Ā£70-Ā£80 on a spare case. Now I have to try and not spend Ā£249. I donāt even need new AirPods.
