    Apple Watch + AirPods

    How are the AirPods with the watch? I've seen a few screenshots of being able to pick up a call directly to the pods. I.e. You have two options when a call comes in "red decline and green with AirPods" vs the "red and green." Do the pods need to be already put in your ears for the "green with...

    AirPods left right different battery drain

    Hello, After listening for few hours from a fully charged set of AirPods, without putting them back in the charging case, I have different battery levels: Left is at 23%, Right at 10%. (checked when putting back one AirPod in its charging case). Do you experience a similar different battery...

    Airpods & Mac iCloud sync

    Hey all, Just wanted to post this for those of you who are having trouble getting the Airpods & iCloud sync to work on the mac. Logging out and back in to iCloud on your mac solves the issue. It's also possible to pair the Airpods to the Mac like an 'other device'. Then you have to hold the...

    AirPods on Mac with Spotify

    Does this happen to you with your AirPods? When using Spotify and I remove an earbud the music does not pause. When I remove the other one, again, it does not pause. It actually funnels the sound to the Mac speakers. I am used to taking out my EarPods when someone comes to my desk, but now, the...

    Airpods Not Connecting to iMac

    I just got my Airpods in and I am using them on my iPhone but wanted to use them on my iMac. It states that the Airpods, once synced with your iPhone, will be usable across all devices signed into that Apple ID. I checked my account and I am logged onto the only iCloud account I have on my...

    iFixIt slams Apple's AirPods as "low quality," unrepairable, and unrecyclable

    This is... I don't have words... iFixIt's beef with Apple's new personal audio gadget centers around three basic critiques: AirPods aren't especially well-made in some regards, they are functionally impossible to repair (even to replace a battery), and there is no way anyone will attempt to...

    What went wrong with the AirPods and USB-C

    I am an apple sheep, I love everything apple makes. But sometimes I need to admit that they are pretty stupid. Apple wants to go into the future with usb-c, they knew they where doing this when the iPhone 7 came out. Why didn't they make the 7 with an usb-c port? They didn't do that because...

    AirPods - European Order/Shipping Thread

    Does anyone from the EU have a Dec 29 delivery date and has seen some movement on their order yet? Mine is still processing.

    AirPods are awesome, changing the volume is not. Got some great ideas inside!

    The volume adjustment feature is really the only that I REALLY miss. It's not nearly as fun double tapping the earbud (which I'm still learning the proper gesture to invoke it), waiting for the music to *pause* and have Siri connect, then command her to change volume to a random number...

    MacOS & AirPods Play/Pause

    I had this problem with my Parrot Zik headphones and it drove me nuts. Is there a way to make the bluetooth play / pause behavior work like the play/pause on the keyboard? Currently, the bluetooth play / pause on the AirPods ONLY works with iTunes, while the one on the keyboard works with...

    Airpod release date and who's buying them.

    Ok. When the AirPods were first announced I had very little interest. But of course as time passes by I start thinking that it would be a good idea to get them. So I looked online and it said coming late October. No pre-order. Have there been any leaks in the media as to the date for...

    Airpods as remote wireless microphones

    It occurred to me that Airpods have the ability to record voices wirelessly. Recording works ok with wired EarPods. For self video recordings, I have used separate wireless microphones for presentations. There are numerous considerations such as charging time, app compatibility and ease of...

    Airpods or Beats X or PowerBeats 3?

    First off I have something like 15 pairs of bluetooth headphones of different sizes and varieties, from Sony XB950BTs to 3 pairs of knock off powerbeats I found on Amazon for $10-$25, etc. But I'm really curious about the new Apple W1 chipped headphones and I'm wondering what everyone is...

    Apple AirPods Test

    The internet is going crazy and worrying that Apple's new wireless earbuds will fall out easily. Well today I did a little test to see if that was true, and this is what I did. I separated the earbuds from the cord on my old non working EarPods, then I began the actual test. I put them in my...
