    Something weird came in the box.

    Hi, Just bought AirPods Pro 2. When I have opened it I saw this thing on the case. I thinking about returning it. What do you think it is? Thanks.

    AirPods Pro 2 double tap/triple tap, and tap and hold is unresponsive.

    On my AirPods Pro 2, tap and hold gestures does not work (for Siri & cycling Noise Control). Swiping up and down to adjust volume does however work. Double tapping and triple tapping to skip/go back tracks doesn't work. I've tried resetting the AirPods Pro, restarting iPhone, but it does not...

    AirPods 2 disconnects when an application is being closed

    Hello folks. I recently noticed some issues with my AirPods 2, which was replaced by Apple almost 3 months ago. I am using an iPhone 8 Plus (iOS 13.3 with jailbreak) and an AirPods 2 (without wireless charging case). When I close the Spotify while the Airpods are connected, I see that the...

    How are Airpods and an Apple Watch the same price?

    Just browsing the holiday gift guide and it struck me that it is kind of crazy that Airpods Pro (2nd Gen) and Apple Watch SE are the same price. I know one is top of the line in its category, and other is bottom of the line in its own ... but the technology/materials/components just seem...

    AirPods Pro 2 unusable at airports

    So I've had my AirPods Pro 2 for about 12 days now and had a couple of flights recently. The audio cut outs are awful at Denver airport when in the gate area (especially Terminal B), I'm talking at least 20 seconds of silence or static intermittently during 60 seconds of audio. Its worse if when...

    expose sound modes button in iOS

    Is there a way to expose the noise cancelling/transparency modes button in the iOS UI to somewhere more convenient? Apple is like "Just unlock your iPhone, then swipe down, then long press on volume, then tap the sound modes and then pick the one you want, bro." Why isn't the button in the...

    Concept mockups: AirPods Pro with always-on display case

    I'm not a great graphic artist, but I wondered what a future pair of AirPods might be like. I thought it would be neat if you could still listen to music when you leave your phone behind. Here are a few mock-up concepts of what I hope we see in the future:

    AirPods 2nd vs 3rd Generation for non-casual movement exercises (swinging kettlebells, etc)

    For exercises with much body movement, like swinging kettlebells, I currently use the AirPods 2. I also own the AirPods Pro 1st Gen, but have found that they tend to fall out when doing much body movement. One of my AirPods 2 pods just died, and this is probably the eighth pod to die that has...

    How can you check the airpod case’s battery level while listening to music?

    How can you check the airpod case’s battery level while listening to music? Often, I’ll be listening to music or a podcast and want to check my case battery to see if I need to charge it before I leave home. The battery widget only shows my airpods and apple watch battery status, but not the...

    A miracle has just happened…

    So this morning I put all my washing in the washing machine, including last night’s pants that had my Airpods pro ear buds in them. I noticed they were in there towards the end of the cycle, so when the washing was finished I found them and got them out before I put everything else in the dryer...

    I have a problem using my AirPods at work

    I think they might be automatically trying to connect to my coworker's AirPods, but I don't see how this would even be a problem because her AirPods would not be registered as being owned by me. There is bad service in the building where I work so I can understand how Spotify would be an issue...

    Allergic for Airpods Pro

    Probably not the first one to start about this. But recently I don't see threads covering this issue. Last year (August) I got myself a nice pair of Airpods Pro which I really enjoyed without any problems until December. I just them for during holidays quit a lot and I started noticing severe...

    Very low quality playback on macOS (good on iOS)

    Hello. I recently got a pair of Airpods Pro as a gift and while I use different and better sounding equipment when I'm listening to music, they're very convenient to be used in other instances. The Airpods Pro work perfectly on iOS, but unfortunately they sound horrible when used on macOS...

    Apple Music Dolby Atmos requirements?

    Hello, My understanding is that my Apple devices (iPad Pro 9.7”) are too old for Dolby Atmos but reading the Apple Music blurb it implies that it will work on any Apple Device (with latest version of music app) when using AirPods / AirPods Pro - is that correct? Perhaps it is spatial audio only...
