Ask HN: How can I make wired Airpods Pro?

I mostly use my Airpods Pro for their Active Noise Cancelling whilst working at my desk for ~8 hours a day.

I'm finding their relatively short battery life and gradually deteriorating capacity highly frustrating (and ultimately wasteful).

Is there a way to power these in wired mode? Surely something like a USB-C cable can do this?

For comparison, I still have and use my original wired EarPods with their 3.5mm jack from back in the day - which work perfectly after many years of heavy use.

I wish Apple would release a USB-C wired version of these with Active Noise Cancelling like in their AirPods Pro.

It would be helluva practical for those long work sessions and also better for the environment.

My next best bet is the Bose QC20 - but even these have a quasi-battery solution which ultimately depletes.
