    New AirPods Pro 2 contain 5 GHz radio

    Everyone was waiting for an explanation as to why only this year's AirPods Pro 2 would support lossless audio with the Vision Pro, and we finally have our answer - only the new AirPods Pro 2's H2 chip runs at 5GHz; prior AirPods Pro 2 models' H2 chips run at 2.4GHz. Ron Huang, Apple VP of...

    Siri No Longer Announcing Notifications Through Air Pods

    This on an iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 16.6. Since I got this phone I've had it set up so that Siri announces Notifications via Air Pods if I'm listening to Music. This has always worked. Until this week. Siri no longer announces any Notifcations. I used to get Notifications from Home...

    Which AirPods should I try?

    Hi everyone! I am still using my 2nd generation AirPods after many years, but now unfortunately the battery health on them is not the best.

    Will 2nd Gen AirPods Pro support ‘Siri’?

    With the release of iOS and iPadOS 17 this fall, we will now be able to just say “Siri” to activate everyone’s favorite virtual assistant. I recently downloaded the developer betas on my iPad mini 6 and iPhone 14 Pro, and connected AirPods Pro 2 didn’t support it. You still have to say “Hey...

    Pro 2: optimized charging is broken

    I had my AirPod pro 2 case replaced because the case would endlessly drain when optimized charging was on, even though it wasn’t actually charging the AirPods. This isn’t related to a general battery drain issue as the case would stay the same percentage if it wasn’t used. Now my 2nd case is...

    Does sound quality of the AirPods Max vary by device? Is there any difference between sound quality on listening via Apple Watch vs. iPhone/Mac?

    Airpods with old versions of OS X?

    I recently bought the Airpods Pro (gen 2). They work with my modern iPhone and Apple Watch, and my Nintendo Switch. However, I can't seem to make them consistently work with my desktop or laptop which both run OS X 10.9 Mavericks. I of course don't expect the automagic Apple ID syncing stuff to...

    Airpods (1st v) and Powerbeats won't connect to Apple TV same time

    I was hoping we could watch Apple TV shows using the version 1 Airpods and my Powerbeats. Airpods connected fine. But then my Powerbeats got a message that I can't get it to connect UNLESS I turn off the Airpods. Is this an Apple TV model-specific thing - or do I need two pairs of current...

    How are Airpods and an Apple Watch the same price?

    Just browsing the holiday gift guide and it struck me that it is kind of crazy that Airpods Pro (2nd Gen) and Apple Watch SE are the same price. I know one is top of the line in its category, and other is bottom of the line in its own ... but the technology/materials/components just seem...

The audio cut outs are awful at Denver airport when in the gate area (especially Terminal B), I'm talking at least 20 seconds of silence or static intermittently during 60 seconds of audio. Its worse if when...
