Im on my third pair of Airpods pro (replacement courtesy of Apple) and all of them had the ANC partially fail the longer i use them. I wonder why Apple still release new versions of these whem they cant even get the basics right.

Have you tried replacing your eartips? I find that radically improves performance - I think they must either get clogged or brittle in a way that causes problems.

Cheap foam eartips from Amazon are even better than stock for my AirPods Pro but they need to be replaced more often.

Yep, I wonder why the ANC socialt is so fragile. Turns me off from buying new ones.

I’ve had them for 3,5 years now and off the top of my head I can’t remember where the “charging leads” are. So it’s safe to say that mine definitely don’t get gunked up.

Is that you, Shrek?

They already do have inductive charging. Both MagSafe, Qi. They even work on the watch charger.

That’s for all AirPod Pros, and definitely the AirPod 4 with ANC, not sure about other non pros.

There's definitely versions that do not work with all wireless chargers like the watch charger. Whatever older pair I have do not work with the watch charger
