Weird. I have a pair since shortly after release, not one crackle. I’ve seen this being an issue though so I’m curious how I got lucky.
Early Development needs is a good use of the AirPods.
If I had to choose I'd rather it on the watch since I wear that 24 7 and only wear airpods here and there when I need them.
Another decision made MONTHS ago, just making it’s way out of the supply chain, but they’ll tell you “Apple JUST decided…”
Apple is what we call in Europe "Lame duck". They are old and fat. Watch out, Apple is the next Nokia!
So, what new tech does Europe have to offer? Besides regulating tech…
While past success is no guarantee for the future… you got to offer a little substance here to be taken seriously
Had my sixth one fail just last week, they really are a poor quality product. Meanwhile my cheaper Bose QC20i's from 2014 still work perfectly, dangly bits and all.
Yeah, European “innovation” is coming up with new ways to get money out of foreign companies based there.
Would that be lazy duck?
Can’t wait to buy a pair and then throw them in the ocean 2 years later when their batteries die. /sarcasm
I just want airpods that can be used in these times as &@%^#* headphones. I am in teams meetings and phonecalls all day long, and if I ain’t in a sound proof room, people on the other side hear every single bit of noise as loud as my voice. People talking in the background? Forget it, people are starting to stumble words on the meeting because to them, some unrelated conversation is happening right through what they are saying.
If they only improve a bit, I will abandon this completely and will search for other options.

I just want a better mic and longer battery life per charge. Everything else is not all that useful imo.
I think some people expect too much from a set of earbuds whose microphone is level with their earlobe. There's a reason why people who work on the phone all day in busy call centres use a real headset, not earbuds.
If you are the kind of person who wants to constantly monitor your body like that, you probably have a wearable to do it. Its unnecessary tech in a set of headphones.

This is terrible, I was hoping to pay $450 for the next Pros. Then the price for AirPods Max wouldn't be as crazy /s
no significant new features, same for the new watch. Good for me, so i will spend less money and keep my current wearables.
I would like air pods to include those two features, could take off Apple watch for training in a gym. I don't understand why people wouldn't want extra features if they never throttled the performance of the pods. I would upgrade my iPod Pro's and buy new if they came with it. I don't have a Apple watch, I have a Garmin Fenix 7 which I am delighted with.
