Apple’s earbuds debuted in October 2019, and since then music lovers have been longing for the next version that brings more features and design improvements. Whether at the price tag of $249, the in-ear earbuds are worth the money, given all the other better options, is totally questionable – but still, it’s an Apple…

The next AirPods Pro version is expected to be available in this autumn or earlier. We don’t know much about how the AirPods Pro will look and sound. Global chip shortages could delay launch until the second half of the year, or even during the holidays. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman is a trusted tipter. He claims that the AirPods Pro will have the new earbuds without the stem.

Designer: Konstantin Milenin


In line with the leaks and speculations about Apple’s upcoming flagship earbuds, designer Konstantin Milenin has created this concept AirPods Pro 2022 model to give our imagination a tangible form. The stemless design of the audio accessories looks minimal and compact. The charging case also gets a flatter design to accommodate these little earbuds. These earbuds are not as upright and lay flat like the original version. You will have a lot more space to store them in your bag or pocket.


I would have wished for more renders of this concept design showing the innards of the charging case and even a demonstration of how the AirPods Pro 2 (yes, they could be called that) earbuds will look when plugged into the ears. Konstantin imagines these Apple earbuds to come in signature white, matte black, and royal rose gold color options. This will cover the majority of the diverse users worldwide, and I look forward to seeing the actual product.
