I'm wondering the same. I had to buy some little silicone covers for the original AirPods - it was the only way I could comfortably wear them. The covers made a big comfort difference but they interfere with the charging. So I'm eyeing the new Pro versions, and hoping maybe the comfort has been improved. Mine came today, and as a user of Airpods, i can only gush about how much better the Airpod Pros are, both in fit and the sound quality! I gave the airpods to my wife, and personally could not go back, the noise canceling is outstanding. I do think they could replace $5000.00 hearing aids. It is a little eery to hear both Tim and Lucas breaths, and pen drops, on these new Airpod Pros Great to hear - (get it? 🙂) - and that the enthusiasm isn’t just mine.

Are the new pods comfortable, I find the old ones abuse my ears. I like them but if they were pliable they would be better. I'm wondering the same.

So I'm eyeing the new Pro versions, and hoping maybe the comfort has been improved. I also bought the silicone covers for the originals. Those made a huge difference in sound, fit, and comfort but of course you had to take them off and put them back on for every in and out of the case. The Pros are much better, and they’re that way at all times. This is a no brainer.

AirPod Pros are a better fit and sound ~40% better. Noise cancellation is very good.
Wearables are an under appreciated category

This is earnings day and people are talking about EarPods?!
There’s a sub forum for that. 🤷🏻♂️
I’m wondering if this is finally the quarter when Apple announces a $90B revs... ie, one biiiiiiiillliiion dollars A DAY. 💥 💰

What's your frame of reference? have you listened to any really good headphones like say Sennheiser HD600 or better, or Stax or Sony MDR-R10? I am sure the Airpods Pro are great but for anyone who has not heard good headphones before, anything can seem great. AIRPODS PRO are the bomb. Just picked up a set at the Apple Store and I’m blown away. Best things I’ve ever heard. The original Airpods were/are still great. (And there’s still room for them to live in a pocket) The Pros are not an incremental improvement. Massive. The noise cancellation takes away everything but the music. (At least in a not-too-noisy work environment) Will try in the real world later. The bass is tremendous. Clarity is amazing. Everything disappears now except for the smallest nuances of the music.

For those that prefer to listen to the conference call via podcast, it's available. My system is old, so it's still via iTunes for me, but the link should bring you where ever you need to go: rss.art19.com/apple-quarterly-earnings-callIt's also often available transcribed, if that's too your liking. A quick google search should bring you there.

I have the Sennheisers, yes, and will do some comparison listening over the next few days.
