A long time coming.
If you’ve been looking for a reason to upgrade your AirPods, Apple hasn’t really given you any for a while.
Thankfully, Apple could finally be gearing up to introduce new models to its earbud lineup.

I have a set of gen 2s and one is dead so I borrowed a set of gen 1s collecting dust from a relative. No noise cancel, can’t change volume…I don’t know how they sold at all
I know right? I went to my buddy and he had the airpods they sold with his ipod. I don’t even think they called them that back then.
They didn’t even have bluetooth. You had to plug them in?? Like I asked him why he bought them if they’re this shit and he just looked at me weird.
Gen 1 sold well because there were not a lot of small, fully wireless, earbuds when those launched. Moreover, unlike other BT headphones at the time, they were low latency and paired reliably.
All in all, the market was different back then and the OG AirPods addressed a combination of user experience issues that the rest of the market wasn’t really addressing.
