The dream is to have the same audio quality as my shure earphones combined with the electronic wizardry of airpods. Unfortunately most bluetooth headphones don't sound good enough to me yet.
It's an either/or. I compromised with Siri (iPhone)/Pause (Watch) on the left and Next Track on the right. (I seldom want to go back while I'm exercising.)
Anyone else having issues with the new double-tap options in IOS 11? Siri works fine, but if I change the settings to anything else (Play/Pause, Next Track, Previous Track) nothing happens when I tap the AirPods. I tried unpairing and re-pairing but it didn't make a difference.
Edit: I completely reset my AirPods and that fixed the problem.
