What are you doing to/with them? I carry mine in my pocket all of the time and never had a single issue
Dang that's old skoolYep this is totally convenient on my $1000 phone.
Can't wait for the vanilla iPad to lose it's jack and I gotta start doing this crap with it too.
Apple Music is terrible. The app is so buggy that I’m gonna have to change to Spotify
Absolutely nothing. They've been in my pocket and the speakers keep dying as I was using them. I had to get a pair a warranty replacement back in 2020, and then the ANC started having issues. Then I started having pairing issues, and then I started hating the feel of them in my ears. Yeah...I learned in the span of a year how much I hate AirPods.
I’ve reverted back to the good old days by carrying a separate DAP with me when I travel. My Fios M11 Plus LTD sounds great paired with my Meze Rai Penta IEMs. Even if Apple brought back the jack, they still wouldn’t have the audio horsepower to feed ultra high rez content. And unless their Bluetooth codecs include LDAC, they won’t get close on that, either.
Macrumors editors heavily slacking here.
Apple appears to be preparing for future devices with Bluetooth 5.2 support, according to a filing in the Bluetooth SIG products database earlier this month. Among other possibilities, this could serve as evidence of future AirPods Pro with LE Audio support.
Apple's filing references a Bluetooth 5.3 host subsystem that is likely intended for future products. However, in actuality, the filing likely refers to Bluetooth 5.2, as the Bluetooth versions listed in Apple's filings in the database are often one version number higher than the version that ends up being supported on a device, for reasons unclear.
For example, the Beats Studio Buds are listed with Bluetooth 5.3 when they actually support Bluetooth 5.2, according to reviews of the headphones, while many iPhone and iPad models are listed with Bluetooth 5.1 despite supporting Bluetooth 5.0.
With all of that confusion surrounding version numbers aside, Apple adopting Bluetooth 5.2 would be especially beneficial for AirPods, as the specification includes support for LE Audio with several improvements to wireless audio streaming.
LE Audio is part of the low-energy Bluetooth LE standard. According to The Verge, benefits of LE Audio for wireless headphones like AirPods could include improved audio quality, longer battery life, the ability to connect more than two pairs of AirPods to a single iPhone, and the ability for each individual left and right AirPod to have its own Bluetooth connection to an iPhone to prevent desynchronization during audio playback.
In July, the Bluetooth SIG said it anticipates availability of products with support for LE Audio to ramp up by the end of 2022. Apple is expected to launch second-generation AirPods Pro by the end of the year, but it remains to be seen if they support Bluetooth 5.2 or LE Audio. It also remains to be seen if Apple would add LE Audio support to the Beats Studio Buds with a firmware update given those earbuds already support Bluetooth 5.2.

And this also comes with Bluetooth 5.2 , low latency audio maybe not under 10ms but very close
Lol but where?
Yeah. Everybody’s concerned about camera quality, no one is concerned with audio quality. It’s so weird that it’s a niche thing to care about. Everyone is good with good enough.
Those things are way overpriced and intentionally crippled.
And USB 4.0 or Thunderbolt 4.0.
I really hope EU mandates that all phone manufacturers make one small phone (iPhone Mini size) there is market for small phones but manufacturers don't make them becasue they have to sell it for low price.
It annoys me that I had to get a 2nd pair after the 1st lasted barely 2 years, and today like so many times I’ve wished the noise canceling would be a lot more effective. Nevertheless, I have to agree they are very handy and perhaps indispensable for me also.
As much as I enjoy this product, I have to strongly agree with this … along with 12,000 others apparently. It’s a travesty how poor call quality is on them, so frustrating.I have Airpod Pro and I still end up using wired headphones (with the mac/iPhone onboard mic) for FaceTime calls. This is why:

Notice the 12,216 people that say "I have this question too"...
I just wish you could switch the iPhone to use the onboard mic instead of the Airpod mic on demand. Currently, you have to SharePlay some music at which point you get an option to switch the mic input for better quality.
