Does 2nd Generation of AirPod Pros have same crackling issue as 1st gen?

My experience with AirPod Pros (1st Gen)

September 2021: purchased and they work great

July 2022: Loud crackling begins in left bud, I take it to the Apple Store and they determine there is a hardware issue with the bud and give me a new one

October 2022: Same loud crackling starts in left bud again, I take it to the Apple Store and they tell me the same thing

Feb/March 2023: some very slight crackling begins in left bud and has progressively gotten worse. I am outside the warranty period so I’d rather just buy new pods instead of paying to fix these.

This is the only Apple product I’ve ever had an issue with and I understand this was a common issue for the 1st Gen AirPodPros. As annoyed and furious as I am, I loved the AirPod Pros in the short timeframe in which they actually worked. Can anyone confirm if the second generation has the same issues?
