i played with a set, but never tried them extensively.
I am not claiming that volume is a problem.
just that the "workaround" solution to the complaint of a problem wasn't as logically sound as believed.
IF the claim that the audio controls don't work for voice calls is true, than it's likely software, and could be fixable via software fix. But having to go back to the phone in order to change the volume defeats the purpose of going wireless in the first place.
Underpriced? Ya gotta be kidding me. Under delivered is more like it. A 6 week wait? Please, you can't justify that.
But now you're assuming the point of going wireless is to not have to use the phone.
Anyway, in addition to using AirPods for 3 months, I used a moto hint for a year. For whatever reason, volume was never an issue. Just seems like another thing for people to complain about.

No, I made a conclusion.
I Concluded, and I don't think unfairly that for many people one of the predominant benefits of going wireless is to remove the need to have to go directly to the handset for many of the audio function. Hence, Apple's inclusion of touch interface for manipulation of some audio functions. This function includes volume control for music.
Also Judging from the users question about the potential issue that he could not change the volume in a call, also implied that that was a particular reason for his/her purchase of the wireless device, by stating that as a potential problem.
whether or not it's a legitimate problem. Maybe a bug in a unit or two. maybe a problem with his phone. could be anythign. All i'm pointing out, that the problem that was identified and asked about, did not receive a satisfactory response for the criteria set forth.
as for truth behind the volume problem, that I am not asking about. maybe he's just going deaf![]()
I was thinking of getting a pair as the EarPods fit me well. But, you cannot adjust the volume during a phone call. If there was any listening situation that require adjustments to the volume, a phone conversation would be it.
Wireless head phones for a fraction of the price of the AirPods can adjust the volume during a phone call.
There are a crap load of wireless headphones that have volume control. A simple search on Amazon would find them. As for totally wireless, there are plenty of headsets that control volume too.What totally wireless in ear headphones are a fraction of the price?
Not to be that guy, but what's wrong with using your volume controls on your phone?
Sure, you can. There are a couple of volume adjustment buttons on the left edge of the iPhone.
I disagree. Not having to go to the device when using AirPods is not one of the main reasons for going wireless. Would be interesting to see feedback from actual users though.
Also, myself, I end up quickly adjusting volume via the watch or with Siri as needed. But even with using AirPods for several hours per day, volume has never been an issue. If it was, I don't think we'd see the sales we do now.
Having said that, would volume control on the AirPods themselves be nice? Of course. But along with people who are quick to complain, no one ever offers a solution. They're small, the surface area is quite small, really not feasible to have a volume control from tapping or swiping on the airpods themselves.
wow, is this an Ad for Apple?
Ok.. let's compare.. The Dash is waterproof, has a internal player, AND has 4 gigs over memory. SO guess what, it's more expensive but has more features!
It's like comparing a lower class Andriod device to an Iphone just based on price.... Macrumors should re-write this article comparing features.
Not their best article that's for sure!
Bragi The Dash: So cool looking, so many neat features, and so frustrating to use. Connection-issue nightmares: The left earbud kept disconnecting and refusing to re-pair. And the signal dropped after I spent only 15 minutes on a treadmill with the phone sitting 1 foot in front of me at eye level.

About that cellullar chip, I would never ever strap a device to my body while it is capable of emitting and receiving cancerdevelopping waves trough my body. I mean, would you like the idea of heaving a watch on your wrist communicating 24/7 with the LTE-network? Those are extremely powerfull waves which have been proven to damage living material. Having your phone half the day in your pocket is something different than having it all day long in direct contact to your skin. If they manage to get the protective shielding right I'd be ok with that. But a Samsung Galaxy Gear S2 for example is in my opinion a dangerous device, Bluetooth is compared by LTE unharmfull, about 1/1000 of the destructive radiation, comparable to the bad radiation you receive from the sun when walking outside. Having an independant watch would be nice, but health is far more important I think.
in my country samsung s3 around 315 dollar not 345 dollar while apple series 2 383 us dollar. So i'm pretty weird this advertisement saying apple much cheaper.

Wirecutter recently did a review of the various wireless headphones out in the market. Here's what they had to say.
If your headphones can't even stay connected for any period of time, I think that pretty much negates any other advantages it may have.

dam pretty cheap.. i should order s3 from us instead. but shipping cost.Where to order yeah.. Apple watch not attractive at all..I'm in the US and I got my S3 frontier for $199.
It seems like morse code would have been more efficient, and easier to remember.http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-true-wireless-headphones/

I thought the lack of volume control during a phone calll would've been a big deal for me but it really hasn't. If I need volume control during a call i find its no more than one adjustment per call on average. I'll just hit the keys on the phone, one small sacrifice for true wireless EarPods. The headphones are great man, get yourself a pair. They carry more bass than the standard EarPods, they sound pretty good, well balanced.I was thinking of getting a pair as the EarPods fit me well. But, you cannot adjust the volume during a phone call. If there was any listening situation that require adjustments to the volume, a phone conversation would be it.

how much did apple pay this plug for a plug?
Which one? The first generation Shuffle was considered cheap but even there according to various estimates I could find on the web App,e had 35-40% profit margins. Can't imagine it was worse for later models. Apple literally never underprices their hardware even in situations when it might be a good idea to get market share like with Apple TV.iPod Shuffle.
I agree. I actually wanted to buy some today. I don't really need them, but thought I'd give them a shot since I don't love my current Beats Bluetooth phones. Saw the six week wait and passed. Sale lost.You know what would be better than the AirPods being "underpriced"? That they were actually available to purchase. Right now they are still 6 weeks out for delivery. Whatever the reason, it is a bit ridiculous that 3 months after released they are still so hard or difficult to mass produce. Either that or apple is artificially inflating demand by restricting the offer.
