The textured exterior surface is multi-directional and can accept input commands, including swipe gestures.
It could be related to something the patent refers to as an ear fitting process.

If youd like to peruse the patent through the PDF,click here.
Its about 22 pages long and features interesting diagrams, like the one I embedded here.
Most of the patent describes the technology that enables the calibration of in-ear headphones.
But its also confirmation that it should be no surprise if Apple refreshes the AirPod Pros later this year.
