I had a pair of first-gen AirPod Pros that died on me, and I sure as hell won't pay $250 for the second-gen model considering the only improvements are slightly better noise cancellation and the case has a speaker in case you lose it.

I ended up getting some $50 Soundcore buds from Amazon and with the exception of the case not supporting wireless charging, and there being lag when gaming...holy shit, are these better in every single way. Audio quality's better, the noise cancellation is better, they charge faster, and they pair to my devices as fast as AirPods. Even with the slightly gimped case, they made it smaller and more pocketable than the AirPods Pro case.

You can buy a pair of Gen 2s for like $100. They regularly go on sale.

Pros, or the base model?

The base one. Pros are a waste of money.

Yeah I'd like to upgrade my gen 2 AirPods to gen 3 because the left one has a bad battery and touch controls don't work on it, but it's almost $200.

I use Adidas airpods (yes they made airpod-like headphones). They were 99 bucks and they work awesome.
