I'm not really sure what AirPods introduced. We had wireless headphones before. They might be the nicest ones and the most popular but I'm not sure how they created a new headphone paradime

To be fair I haven't tried too many high end wireless earbuds, but switching between the noise cancellation and transparent mode on the AirPods pro was my first "wow" moment using a piece of technology in a long time.

Thats a feature that is available on most high end headphones. I get that the airpods might be quite refined but they are nothing brand new.

The transparent mode is? That's definitely (good) news to me, I have an android phone so I'd like to avoid airpods

Latency! Lack thereof, actually. I bought an Ipad just to be able to use them. My second Apple product. The first was a Macintosh SE. That says something.
