Don't buy the 'regular' AirPods 5

Apple’s new AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case cost $149 and add swipe-gesture volume control, Live Translation, active noise cancellation and IP57 water resistance, while the “regular” AirPods 5 sell for $129 with the same features but no case. The author argues the $20 price gap provides insufficient differentiation, recommending the higher-priced model for its extra functionality and convenience.
