Please Bring Back the AirPods 2nd Generation Body

I have already sent a feature request to Apple on the proper submission, but I wanted to post here has well to get more visibility on the issue and allow people to chime in if they have the same issue.

Please bring back the AirPods 2nd gen style body. I don't care what features it has, I just want the same fit because it's far superior to any of the AirPod 3/4/Pro in terms of staying in my ear reliably and being comfortable to wear. It's getting a lot harder to come by the AirPod 2nd gens, and I've been burned by buying "refurb" ones that turn out to be defective and have to return. At this point I'm just going to be using my wired apple ear pods because I would much rather use those than the recent 3/4/Pro style, unless/until the original 2nd gen comes back.

See this Reddit post with lots of people who agree:

You seem to think this is a Social Media site, which it is not. This is a Support Site where you would be correctly advised to send feedback to Apple like you have done. Nobody here cares about a Social Media post.

This is a user to user forums and apple is not actively participating here. I see that you already submitted feedback to apple, that is all you can do.

For me, the fit of the Pro 3 is way superior over the Pro 2. It is different for everybody I guess
