    AirPods 2

    Is it a good time to purchase AirPods, or is it possible they could see a refresh at a March event? At this point in the cycle, I'm not sure if I should keep waiting or go grab them now. Any thoughts?

    AirPod battery life a year later.

    How are your AirPods batteries holding up? How long and how often do you use them? I want to buy them but not if they lose charging capacity within a year or so. I would use them probably one AirPod at a time at work. I work 4 10's and commute so would probably use them up to 12 hours a day at...

    AirPods for $119 (why is it discounted?)

    Anyone knows why these 2 websites are selling AirPods for $119 and not the $159 price. Any reason you can think of that I should not buy? https://www.avo-stores.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1253&language=en&currency=USD...

    Airpods not showing on Watch 3

    My airpods are not showing on my new Watch 3 even though they are on my phone. Tried a erase and re-pair but still nothing. If I go to Bluetooth it just searches in vain. Are your airpods connecting to your Watch 3? Maybe bluetooth is not functioning on my watch.

    iPad Airpods don’t work in iOS 11 on ipad

    I updated iPhone 6s and iPad 11.9 first gen with iOS 11 today and now air pods don’t work on iPad only even though it’s connected fine. No sound comes out. Anyone else have this problem? They work on iPhone fine.

    BlueTooth and Battery

    Hello, I am close to buying AirPods, but I have a reservation. Up until now, I only turn BT on while I am driving. I don't need it the rest of the day. With AirPods, I'm sure BT would stay on permanently. How much does this affect battery? (My iPhone is 6s.)

    AirPods Questions for Owners

    For people who own AirPods, I have a few questions. Is there any BlueTooth hiss? A lot of BT headphones I have tried have a hissing sound that's noticeable when you have them in your ears with no sound playing. Do both microphones work independently? Could I have two people using one earbud...

The detection method is very simple, basically it is simulate the status of...

    Use iOS 11 AirPod features on iOS 10 device

    If you want the new iOS 11 features for the AirPods but you don't want to download the beta on your every day device, download iOS 11 beta on a secondary device. Connect AirPods to that device and change the left and right AirPods settings to your liking (skip, back, pause/play, Siri). When you...

    AirPods iOS 11 features not working?

    When AirPods were first announced, the lack of options other than Siri for track-navigation was a complete dealbreaker for me. So I was thrilled when I learned that iOS 11 introduced the ability to assign custom actions (play/pause and next track) to individual AirPods. I immediately ordered a...

    iOS 11 AirPod controls, now!

    I installed iOS 11, set right AirPod to skip track and left for Siri. Downgraded to 10.3.3 and the double tap controls still work as it did in iOS 11. It doesn't show in the menu on the iPhone. The AirPods are reborn with the use of controls like these. Yes, I have AW but still wanted a way to...

    How to view Bluetooth Handsfree Profile Version?

    Is there a way to check the version of the BT Handsfree profile (HFP) on a Mac? The Bluetooth Explorer app gives lots of detail but in "Local device details" I haven't found what I'm looking for. I hear that iOS uses HFP 1.6 but MacOS uses HFP 1.5. I'd like to check for myself, and understand...

    How to remove unused AirPods from AppleWatch AirPlay menu?

    This has been driving me nuts. When I tried AirPods at the Apple Store before buying my own pair, the store's AirPods remained in my AppleWatch's AirPlay menu. I've long since removed them from my iPhone's Bluetooth pairing menu but they stay in my AppleWatch. How do I remove them?

    iPad AirPods not connecting with iPad Air 2

    Yesterday I had an issue with my AirPods: they appeared as tuned off. So I reset them and paired them again with my iCloud (via my iPhone 6s Plus). Now they work again with the iPhone and the MacBook, but the iPad Air 2 doesn't see the AirPods. In the Bluetooth settings they seem paired. How...

    AirPods Hold Their Left/Right Assignments

    So today I learned something pretty interesting: AirPods that have been assigned iOS 11 exclusive left/right assignments such as "Next Track" and "Previous Track" still keep their assignments when used with an iOS 10 device. I learned this because I have a 10.5" iPad Pro on iOS 11 while my...

    AirPods Switching between iPhone and non Mac?

    I have an iPhone 7 and an Apple Watch with which I would like to use Airpods (haven't purchased yet). However, I'm looking at buying a non-Apple laptop and I'm curious what the experience is like switching between an Apple product, and a non-Apple product. Basic scenario here: I would like to...

    Airpods with TV - lipsync issue

    I know that using Airpods with iPhone/Mac doesn't have a lipsync issue because iOS/OSX automatically delays audio slightly to compensate, but when trying to use Airpods with a bluetooth transmitter (TaoTronics Bluetooth Transmitter) which is connected to the headphone jack in my Yamaha A/V...

    Airpods Owners - Have you dropped them ear-pieces yet?

    I dropped the right airpod 4 times and the left one once, in the past 27 days - since I bought them on May'1 2017. Never dropped the case though. As for me, I dropped them while removing a shirt or while taking them off the case; all while I was indoor, all from about. 3 - 6 feet height. Not...
