    AirPods Pro keep breaking

    My AirPods Pro keep breaking. When I go to take off the ear tip, it feels stuck to the AirPod, so I have to yank it off (the ear tip stretches and the end is stuck to the AirPod). When it comes off, the black speaker grill (or whatever you call it) is not there & the netting inside the ear tip...

    AirPods Pro - Worst support experience with a good outcome.

    Hi everyone. I love my AirPods Pro and noticed a weird rattling on one ear bud, then both, and a screech if I put my finger near the earbud. I contacted Apple to replace them under the repair programme. Dead easy so far. They sent me a box, I posted them. They repair and returned them. Super...

    AirPods Pro and AirPods Max or Sony WF-1000XM4 and Sony HF-1000XM4

    Hi there, friends! First, a short introduction to what this thread is about. I use an iPhone 12 Pro max, and I love to go for walks while listening to music. For years, I've been an "Apple only" man. I've used the original EarPods (from the 3,5mm jack version to the lightning version), the...

    Made a cool AirPods holder for my bike!

    For some reason I hate the feeling of having the AirPods case in my pocket, but I ride with them enough that they sometimes need a quick recharge. Today I whipped up this case and thought I would share! It even has a little silicone insert so that the case fits tightly and can't bounce out.

    Major AirPods Pro microphone problem with no fix?

    AirPods Pro are faulty when handling their microphones. Not only does it effect call quality, but also dictation, Siri, and voice memos. Siri and dictation never gets what I’m saying correctly 90% of the time. When I go into voice memos, it will always sound very muffled at the beginning and...

    Having a hard time deciding between medium and small tips for APP

    Both small and medium tips pass the Ear Tip Fit Test for me. And they stay in my ears. However, I think the seal is still slightly better at the medium size, while the small ones are slightly more comfortable. I know this is very subjective and depends on ears, but is the general rule “put the...

    Automatic switching to and from Macs We all know how less than reliable the auto-switching feature works even after recent updates to Big Sur.

    Good day everyone! I'm gonna sell my airpods 1 which I bought in early 2019 but I already lost the box. Is there a way to prove that my airpods are original just from the unit itself? I know people are careful when buying airpods since there are knockoffs that truly look like the originals. The...

    Replacement AirPods Pro Process

    I was wondering if anyone had any experience with Apple support changing their processes re:replacing AirPods Pros. In the past I had a lot of the crackling issues and a lot of replacements from Apple themselves. That process was pretty much: tell apple of the problems, they place a hold on my...

    AirPods Pro - Does Find My for AirPods Actually Work?

    The wonderful "Find My" app helps me figure out where I dropped my phone, left my watch... but NEVER my AirPods. Finding them is the most difficult thing I've ever experienced. I'm not talking about finding an ear, but the charger base (with the ears in it). It's honestly the most difficult...
