Sleek Stemless Earbud Concepts

The Apple AirPods Pro 2022 by Konstantin Milenin are Minimalist

This Apple AirPods Pro 2022 concept has been designed by Konstantin Milenin as an envisioning of what we could see coming to the market later this year. The earbuds concept highlights a design similar to what the present-generation model looks like, but is completely devoid of a stem out of the bottom. This stemless design likens the headphones to smaller, bud-style earphones presently on the market and shifts them further towards a more minimalist construction.

The Apple AirPods Pro 2022 concept also envisions the branded headphones in wider variety of color options including the iconic white, but also black and rose gold. The accompanying charging case maintains a flat construction that's slightly elongates to hold the headphones securely inside, while potentially offering more battery power to boot.
