I've been using the JBL ones since they came out and at first I thought the screen was unnecessary. BUT I came around to enjoying it. There are a few scenarios that the screen enables: 1. You only get so many controls on the headphones themselves - ANC/Passthrough mode on the left, media on the right for example. But what about volume controls, ANC level, voide passthrough level, mic mute, etc.? I use these for phone and work Teams calls, and when I'm not physically at my phone/pc I can use the screen to mute/unmute myself or control how much I hear my own voice through the headphones based on my surroundings. Some of that could be solved by offering more configuration options for different scenarios, but then I'd have to remember all that and tap morse code against my head all the time. 2. Seeing how much % battery life is left in each headphone and the case without my phone nearby is super useful. Also, I use these all day, so they'll eventually run out of battery. If I'm on a call, I just plug one in for a quick charge, and when I see it's at 20% I'll swap, charge the other and I'm good for another few hours. 3. I'm a person who's not on their phone all day. Some days I look at it once a day and it's just _somewhere_ in my apartment. Having quick controls like ANC levels, volume level etc on the case itself is super useful. 4. I almost lost one of the earbuds one winter day on my bike when taking of my beanie, having the case in my pocket to quickly let it "ring" helped me find it in the snow much faster than it'd have taken me to take out my phone, open the app and use that feature there. 5. It's a decent smart watch substitute if you're not on your stupid phone all day: Receive select notifications, set a quick timer, use the "flashlight" feature, ...

The killer app for an earbuds case with a screen is connection control -- selecting which device you want to hear. A screen on the case could make it trivial. The Bluetooth user experience has always been rocky and that especially goes for using the same headphones on multiple devices. There's also using separate devices on the same speakers simultaneously (e.g. choose on screen to hear notifications from a second device) and the idea of selecting/forcing (or disabling!) a specific Bluetooth audio codec.

Absolutely, I have a pair of WF-1000XM4's and the amount of times my earbuds connect to my laptop in sleep mode in my bag and just refuse to play sound off the phone I'm currently using is crazy. You can choose the device that plays in the Sony app, but the app doesn't work most of the time. It would absolutely be a killer feature if I could choose which device is playing on the earbud case.

I recently found a way to work around this problem! When the playback on your phone gets paused because of your sleeping computer, press the play/pause button on your headphones ONCE. You won’t hear a difference, but that “pauses” the sleeping computer. Then start playing whatever you wanted to listen to using the in screen phone controls. DO NOT press play on your headphones to start it. Once that’s done, your phone “owns” the playback to your headphones and you can freely use the headphone playback controls again. Hope this can help you!

It essentially stays connected to all of them simultaneously whilst prioritizing the connection you are listening to, so when you hit play on a video or music on one of these devices, it seamlessly switches audio with zero hitches.

The things that could enable having a screen to the airpods case is huge for non iPhone users, due to the lack of support for android compatibility, you have acces to lots of settings right on the case without having to buy an iPhone. And it could apply to other brands that make you install therir app just so you can get acces to more settings, by having it directly on the case itself you can save the need to install a app every time you want to change something that's not out of the box for you.

seeing battery life on the outside of the case would be appealing. i wouldn't want a whole screen like this - i would be satisfied with a series of LED lights where 4 lights indicates ~80%, 5 lights indicates 100%, etc... - but i can understand them deciding that it'd be unclear for people whether the airpods have 80% charge or the case, and in that case rather than making 3 rows of LEDs maybe it'd be better to just take the plunge and put a whole screen on the device. i'm not terribly excited about it, but that's mostly because the usefulness of such a thing can only manifest based on what apple actually does with it, in the same way that the touchbar on the macbook pro was a lot of potential utterly squandered because apple didn't make anything of it. they just hoped that developers would show up, or something. if apple just turns the screen into a "now playing" display, i imagine a lot of people would like to keep their airpod pro case on their desk while they're working and either turn off their iPhone screens or turn the screens away from them while they're working. i certainly could see myself doing that. my relationship with my phone is characterized by it producing distractions that derail me. apple can implement all the focus modes and whatnot that they want, but a tiny little device that physically can't invite me in to lose an hour or two is always going to be better at managing my distractions and whatnot

I don't really like dealing with wireless earbuds/headphones, but if I did I probably *would* appreciate the screen. It gives you a way to ignore your phone for awhile and not get sucked back in by notifications or muscle memory to check apps etc... A lot of people want more ways to "disconnect" and if the AirPods screen did not support notifications and stuff, it would help provide that. It gives you a simple interface to listen to audio, control transparency mode etc... and nothing else. It also can be more intuitive so you don't have to know control gestures. Seems like it'd be a more friendly interface. I can see there being clips/straps for it too for working out so you can set your phone down and use the case as your main interface while exercising, etc...

I can get one good idea as to why it’s beneficial to have a screen on the case because I have the JBL‘s with the screen on the case… as a truck driver, it is more visually distracting to pull out a phone look at it and try to skip songs or play around with the settings when I’m listening to music, but with the case itself, I’ve sort of memorize through muscle memory on the process of skipping, putting the volume up and down although a phone, you can easily click a button and that’s easier or playing around with the equalizer. Some of those things have already become muscle memory for me with such a smaller device that I can just fiddle around with in my pocket versus having a larger screen to try to do the same thing and then miss clicking things which forces me to just take the phone out overall and look at it, which is a driving hazard so for me, this would actually make sense and it’s not an ideal situation for everyone

I'd love to see an earphone case with physical pause, skip and volume controls as long as they're well done. You'd get all the benefit of the control without all the downsides of a screen. It'd be nice just to have it in your pocket or on your desk and always have those controls available.

Honestly this is genius. If it allows you to control your music app properly, change tracks, even search… then yes this is perfect. Really great idea. If it’s a half measure and you still have to pull your phone out then maybe not so great.

One major reason to have the screen is to be able to control those features without having an app on your phone. I suspect a lot of people don't even realize when they get earbuds that there are tons of options that they have that they need an app to access. Also, that firmware looks really similar to the JBL firmware. I wonder if it's something like a JBL collaboration?

The benefit of the screen is that you can configure the headphones without any 3rd party app or OS integration. You don't need a companion app that will become unsupported after a few years and you don't lose features if you are using the buds with non-apple device. That's honestly a huge game changer to me, like a paradigm shift. Maybe the headphones are not the best example of that, but I really like this approach for electronic accessories. Man, in appliances some brands are forfeiting this ability to configure on device, exchanging it for companion apps. I have a washing machine that has programs that are only available via an app, but that's for other reasons I assume. Forced gathering of the user data via the app and/or planned obsolesence. For apple it makes sense to make a statement that airpods are now fully vendor independent to make it seem like apple loves vendor interoperability. Perhaps to make some regulators happy...

I think it would work, if the product got its own storage, and can work without phone, it will update the newly added songs and podcasts and download them when the phone is near by. And also think the battery life will be tackled with giving a screen like always on display rather then giving a full display and updating it in future versions

I have the JBL Tour Pro 2s, and I find the screen handy for that first moment of putting them in. Everything I need is already at my finger tips in a visual form rather than having to cycle through touch controls on the buds themselves. Being able to hit play, quickly swipe through the sound mode I want it in for the environment, and fine tune the volume before I put the case back in my pocket, has completely removed the need for my phone in that interaction. It's totally a first world privilege thing, but isn't all this new tech stuff? It really will come down to how much apple will pump their followers for the upgrade. The JBLs sound good, sit well and are designed nice while being a reasonable price. I doubt Apple will follow suit price wise even though they will probably only offer up near identical functionality as the JBL (even the mock up is copy/paste of JBLs interface). But you're right, it will be the next forced reason for a price increase on the next gen Airpod Pros...

Most buds AND laptops have an inbuild control buttons for music functions. So what exactly does this screen give you? Especially that all options beside the most basic ones(that you already can use directly from buds/laptop keyboard) demand use of small very small screen with a lot of scrolling - using big screen on laptop would be so much faster, just as its the case with smartwatches beyond basic functions, where you could use the app on the watch, but actually end up opening it on your smartphone, because you see more info and can do things faster.

They'll probably rebrand the regular airpod pro as regular airpod 4th gen and drop the price a little. As they've recouped the cost of the tooling required they make a better margin on it which is quite a common apple strategy(Ipad Pro-> Ipad Air). They'll then sell this for a slight increase maintaining the pricing ladder.

I'm thinking the same as you, but they'll probably release one in a few years, with a recycled lil chip (kinda like the Apple Watch) that would give it functionality to open small apps like spotify, Apple music... And then just call it The Ipod lol. Like a renaissance of the most beloved product. Will make sens if they really want to position themself as Audio king just like before, and they'll be able to sell you apple music subscription after giving it to you for free for one year !

Unless e-sim is possible like smartwatches. Then you could leave the phone at home or on your locker and go for a run or do your workout.
