The AirPods reveal a striking translucent design for the stem of Apple's AirPods, complete with a white in-ear section. Given the long nature of the stem which was updated with AirPods 3, these clearly depict some of the earliest designs of the AirPods, and may even date to before 2016 and their original release.
It isn't clear from the photo whether the translucent design was an intentional design possibility or if they were left transparent for the purposes of testing, or to save money during testing. Regardless they look an awful lot like Nothing's ear (1) ear...
