fred8559 it was never meant to dethrone it. Carl released the oringal Pro and standard Buds in tech.
So it’s like this:
Buds Pro 1 = Buds 2
Buds 1 = Buds 2A
Buds 2 Plus is a standalone, it’s not the same as the Buds 2 Pro
There isn’t even LC3, which is a missed opportunity, heck they increased the price of the Buds 2 Pro, it’s 89USD.
