If they could go ahead and release the next generation of AirPods, that would be most good.
Based on this design please:


I'd pay $200 for AirPods like that.

He’s asking for AirPods but with that style of ear piece. The current style is, IMO, uncomfortable for long usage periods.
For some people. I for one have ears such that I sometimes even forget I have [AirPods-shaped] ear pieces in my ears.

I'm confused about what you're asking for. Wired headphones? Because I think they used to make those. Once. But that was... a long time ago.
No, I'm asking for Airpods, but with a soft silicone in-ear design.

Airpods are good enough for what they are,Beats on the other hand,while technically nice,require much more improvements in their audio quality to justify their price tag.
I had Solo 3 and sold them,now I have B&W P7 wireless and Bose QC35 II,both wipe the floor with Solo 3 and cost similar.specially B&W P7 are fantastic.
QC35 are incredibly comfortable. Def my favorite. The noise cancelling is also way better than the beats and even the new Sony’s.
