ScrollPods: Hands-free scrolling using AirPods
I’ve been trying to read PDFs and articles while rocking my baby boy to sleep in front of our iMac. Not the easiest combination, and yes, you can argue I shouldn’t multitask, but you know how it is. I couldn’t help myself and ended up building an app to make it easier. It’s called ScrollPods... -

«Find my» function useless
I fall asleep with the new airpods 4 anc every night and wake up to them having fallen out. Sometimes it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack. Always thought the «find my» feature would work, but when they fall out, the battery drains making the feature useless. It only works if you need... -
AirPods Audio Balance Shifting left and right - Update from Apple
I really thought I had posted a thread about this previously. For about a year now I’ve had issues with my AirPods Pro 2 (3 pairs in total), where the audio shifts from center to the left or right, sometimes randomly. There have been many reports over the years of users who’s AirPods Pro 2... -
FaceTime Spatial Audio
Ever since I bought my AirPods Max (USB-C) a few months ago I've been unable to get Spatial Audio with Head Tracking to work during FaceTime calls on my Mac computers (a Mac mini M2 and a MacBook Pro M3 Pro). Apple still lists Spatial Audio with Head Tracking as available during FaceTime calls...- Aquamite

Do your Airpods Pro 3 randomly disconnect/reconnect?
I bought my Airpods Pro 3 on day 1 and I've noticed that they randomly disconnect for 1-2 seconds and then they reconnect. I then have to press play to continue listening to my music. Sometimes this happens twice a day and sometimes it can be days between occurrences. My Airpods Pro 3 are... -
Weird AirPods Issues with Apple Watch
Hi everyone, I’ve been using my Apple Watch for workouts forever, and I always leave my iPhone at home (or in my bag). Tracking, podcasts, and music all run directly on the Watch — that’s literally why I bought one in the first place, once the cellular version came out. But ever since the...- docfred

Is Spatial Stereo worse?
Just a quick check. Is Spatialized Stereo worse on the latest firmware (8A356/8) for you too? Just happened to not feel quite right on my AirPods Pro 2 and usually I love spatial stereo on these, but I actually found turning it off sounds more stereo. Listening to „Working For the Weekend“ was... -
Are you guys upgrading to AirPods Pro 3
Personally I have AirPods Pro 1 (2021 revision) and I don't need AirPods Pro 3... I feel it's only a small upgrade unless you really care about noise cancellation... I really don't care about AI features, sensors and those things are just gadgets for me... + I don't use AirPods very often.- Astuces iOS

AirPods Pro 3 audio stuttering
Not sure if this is a software or hardware issue but I’ve been getting random audio glitches with my AirPods Pro 3. The issue usually goes away after I close and reopen the app. The AirPods are paired with an iPhone 17 running iOS 26.- SteveChocz

AirPods 4 vs AirPods Pro 3.... WHOA.
When Apple announced Live Translation was coming to older models, I was happy thinking my AirPods 4 (AP4) would get the update. Without ANC, it sadly wouldn't get something I plan to use a ton next month on a trip to Germany. On their own, the AP4 deliver good sound and are great when taking...- exodiusprime

AirPods Pro 3 Transparency Improvement
Went on a walk late this evening, as I normally do, but this time with the AirPods Pro 3 instead of 2. I usually use them in transparency mode at night because I want to be more aware of my surroundings while listening to podcasts, and I like the chill vibe. Walking with them was a bit surreal... -

May God rest AirPods Max's soul
Please just give us a refresh. The new Airpods Pro blow the Max out of the water in every way. Meanwhile Max is left dead in the water (despite being blown out of it mere seconds ago). Tim Apple I'm begging you, I'll even buy a Vision Pro if it means we can see an update to the Airpods Max ToT -

Consider this a public service announcement :p Skip to DO THIS if you can’t be bothered with any prior explanation. To me it seems there are two AirPod users: those who don’t like the sound too much but live with it and those who couldn’t care less. Either way, AirPods sound kinda bad out of... -

AW10 is using built-in speaker by default
I’ve got AW10 recently and I am surprised that when I have my AirPods Pro in my ears and try to turn on some music on the watch it will start playing from the watch speaker by default. It was reliable on my previous AW6. Every time I have to manually select output device. watchOS 11.1- Propine
