    Prefer Airpods 1 & 2 over Pro

    I love the features of the Pro line of products but I don't like the way they fit into my ear. I'm sure I'm in the minority here but I constantly have to shove them into my ear cause they are sliding out of my ears. I never had this issue with my old Airpods 1st gen, they stayed in like they...

    AirPods starts to charge at 78 in case when empty. How to fix? Reset didn’t work.

    I am trying to calibrate my AirPods to make them read battery more accurate. I drained them overnight and put them in the case but when I do that the battery reports back at 78-80 percent even though it’s been about 10 seconds. When I try to calibrate my gen 2 AirPods they start off at zero...

    Why my left AirPod doesn’t connect to my iPhone?

    My left AirPod doesn’t connect to my phone and it always shows charging status (when it’s inside or outside the charging case). Sometimes I can see flashing green light on my charging case and animation on my phone screen doesn’t show AirPod charge level. I tried many times to reset the...

    Airpods Pro steeply discounted, all but confirming new ones soon.

    Many major US retailers are offering AirPods Pro at a steep discount, which is a sign of offloading soon-to-be last gen inventory. If you want a pair, get them now, they're a great deal with the current sale. Amazon, Walmart, and Target all have them around $174, $75 off the normal price. This...

    Universal Apple SharePlay Audio and Apple TV

    So I was trying out the new SharePlay feature with a friend and I came across an issue with the audio. Me: Iphone, AirPods Max, Apple TV. Friend: Ipad, AirPods Pro, Apple TV. I facetimed and share played Disney+ to my friend. We then both moved the share play to our Apple TV. The audio...

    EarPods?

    Is there any difference in sound quality between EarPods with lightning EarPods with 3,5mm and adapter? Does lossless audio in Apple Music work with EarPods? I would use them with 13 mini. I don’t like AirPods as I always forget to charge them… they are dead when needed…

    Airpods 3 vs Pro

    I'm contemplating whether to get the new 3 gen AirPods or the Pro model. Looking for something that is comfortable in the ear while sleeping, but yet produce good sound and bass as having a in-ear immersive experience. The noise cancelling doesn't really bother me, providing the sound quality...

    AirPods Max quieter on MacBook Pro then on iPhone

    Hello, I am owner of AirPods Max. I have connected them to my new MacBook Pro 14" with macOS 12.1. I have noticed that sound on them is quieter then when they are in use with iPhone 12 Pro with newest iOS. I have noticed it in Music app. Volume is maxed out on them in system and in Music app...

    Pair two pairs of AirPods with Apple TV? (For different users)

    My wife and I each have AirPods and are logged into Apple TV as different users. However, it is not possible to add my wife's AirPods. Does this not work because the Apple TV is actually paired with my Apple ID, no matter how many users I add? That would be a major limitation in the first place...

    Exercise notifications disconnect AirPods

    When exercising with the  watch while playing music, my AirPods disconnect as soon as the watch notifies me of something like "you hit one mile" or "exercise ring closed." I have to reselect the AirPods from control center and press play again on the music, not an easy thing to do while...

    Is AppleCare+ worth it just for AirPods battery wear?

    From my previous experiences with AirPods and other, smaller consumer electronics with built-in, non-replaceable batteries, I know that the battery of AirPods will see a significant dip or even become almost unusable in the 2nd to 3rd year after purchase if I use them every day. My question...

    Airpods charging unevenly

    I've been through two pairs of Airpods. Both of them charge inconsistently. Who else has had problems with their Airpods showing two different charges? One will be at 100% the other is at 9%.

    iPhone 13 Pro How to stop iPhone calls from automatically transferring to my car?

    This is something that drives me nuts. Scenario: I'm on a call on my iPhone using my AirPods in my home office. My wife gets in the car and starts driving out of the garage. Without warning or notification, the call gets transferred to the car. I have to then tap on the audio source icon on my...

    My Airpods 3 experience- first impression

    i figured i would summarize some of the advantages and disadvantages Ive experienced. This might be a much better solution, if people could do the same, instead of just writing “Airpods x is better”. Of course, using them for a longer time would bring about a more detailed review, but i still...

    Transparency Mode vs native passive transparency on regular Airpods

    For those that have used/own both, how does transparency mode compare to the passive transparency on the regular Airpods? I’m debating between getting the Airpod Pro or the Airpod 3 and unsure about this. Long story short, I have a baby and need to be able to hear my surroundings. The problem...
