I just want a feature that helps me find the one that runs away after I fall asleep with them in >:(

The pros have Find My -support and you can even ping the earbuds separately via the app.

Also the new model can regonize when you fall a sleep and stop the media. I think it works, but I'm not sure how quickly it detects the sleep.

Mine are older and support Find My, but only when they’re out of the case. If I can’t find my case when they’re in it, I’m stuck. Does pro do anything for that?

Yes it does! Each ear separately and the case itself.

Doesn’t that already exist within the Find My app? It’s not perfect, but it’s always worked fine for me.

For me, they fell off during sleep less often after I did the tip size testing.

(I don't really want to be wearing them while asleep, but my body sometimes has other plans.)

Put a damn tracker in the case. I hate how the case is completely dumb if the AirPods are outside of it.

The AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Pro 3, and AirPods 4 WITH ANC all have cases with speakers and separate Find My integration that I belive is what you are looking for.

It’s the only reason why I have upgraded to ANC on the Airpods 4, because I don’t really like ANC, but I want the smart case.

Damn, I literally have the Pro 3 and didn’t think they did that. Shows what I know!

They did. Airpods Pro 2 has a tracker in the case, Find My can find all three pieces separately and each can make the pinging noise.

That’s why I use the Pro Max for sleep, but I wish it had the newer chip with sleep detection.

Get memory foam tips for them. Mine rarely fall out if I sleep with them in.
