Why do you use your gen 2 more than any other of them?
Not OP, but personally, I prefer how the airpods 2 feel in my ears. I can wear it until the battery depletes without feeling any strain, unlike the 3 and pro, where I can only wear a couple hours max.
I also believe airpods 2's tap to control to be better, since you cannot easily press the short stem of the 3 and pro while running, or wearing thick gloves.
Of course, the pro's noise cancelling is very nice in public or loud spaces, but for my case (being active, or in quiet environment), I use the 2 much more often.

I've tried every single iteration of AirPods bar Max and the OGs (1st gen or 2nd, doesn't matter, the form factor is the same) have been my favorite for everything that doesn't involve air travel. I could never get the Pros to stop sloshing in my ears on runs or any other kind of exercise, which is what I use them for the most and the 3s were basically the worst of both worlds - no ANC, not as comfortable in the ears and weird controls.

This was $70 around BF, so $90 feels a little too high IMHO for what is now a 5 year old product.
Agreed. Bought this same model on a deal posted here for Best Buy on 12/16/21…/ so roughly 2 years ago. It was also $90. You'd think after 2 years the "sale" prices would go down a bit.

Agreed. I like it more than any other because of the comfort. The only one that I could sleep with and not feeling uncomfortable.
