    Insanely conflicted about AirPods 3

    Hi friends! So, the new AirPods look pretty great. I’ve had gen 1 since I could get my hands on em, and I’ve wanted Pros since launch for ANC/better sound quality. However: firstly, I’m holding out for stemless Pros, which don’t seem like they’ll be out for a while; secondly, we’re living in...

    Airpods 1st gen - Battery and charging problem

    I have 2 sets of Airpods, 1st gen. My wife was using one pair and me the other. After a few months of usage, my right airpod started to lose charge (goes dead) after about 30 seconds of use. A few weeks later, my wife's right airpod started to lose a charge, after about 2 minutes of use. We...

    Are my airpods pro legit?

    My sister bought me second hand airpods pros a bit ago (the seller had good reviews and the airpods were sold as personal item of theirs, it came with a protective case and was not packaged to look brand new) and I noticed the limited warranty had been extended due to the extension of the...

    iPhone 13 Pro Max I caved in......

    Well as always I could not control myself ? I managed to get a hold of a Sierra Blue iPhone 13 Pro Max in 128GB yesterday. Immediately I noticed how stunning the device is and the build quality is exceptional. I instantly noticed the 120HZ refresh rate on the display. Not as noticeable like...

    AirPods - Only the left connects instantly

    Hi everyone, I have been using my AirPods for a few years and when I take them out of their case and place them into my ears, only the left one connects instantly. I then have to take them out, put them back into the case and then put them back into my ears for both to connect. Anybody else have...

    Siri changes with iOS 15??

    For a long time I have been able to control my airpods without taking my iPhone out of my pocket by using siri. I could change between transparency mode and turn noise cancellation on or off. Now when I ask Siri to do this I just get a message saying that it cannot be done. Wondering why this...

    AirPods Pro audio cutting out randomly

    Good evening everyone, I have a problem with the AirPods Pro. Generally, when I use them on the street and totally randomly the sound is lost/cut off for a few seconds, as if it's interference. Sometimes I am able to reproduce the interference if I stick the iPhone to my leg ? . I've tried...

    Apple Music Apple Music Free for 6 Months Offer with AirPods — Old Purchase

    I purchased my 2nd Gen AirPods just after release (March 2019 to be exact) and after updating to iOS 15, I am now being told that “Your AirPods come with 6 free months of Apple Music. Redeem now.” This seems strange to me since I bought my AirPods 2.5 years so ago, and am just now getting this...

    Do you think Airpods Pro 2 will eliminate the need for Apple Watch when it comes to health?

    Hi all I am currently considering buying an AW because of how its marketed as being useful for your health, etc. Then, I remember many articles saying APP 2nd gen will also focus on health. Does this mean I am better off waiting for the APP? Personally I have never been a watch-wearing...

    AirPods are connected to iPhone and Mac Simultaneously

    Longtime lurker, first time poster. As I type this my AirPods are connected to my MacBook and iPhone at the same time. Audio played on either device comes out of the AirPods. I haven't tried playing audio on both at the same time yet. Is this expected behaviour? A little background on why this...

    AirPods Max fizzle out on Mac

    Does anyone else have an issue with their AirPods Max where they "fizzle out" when connected to a Mac? By fizzle out, they'll be fine then you'll encounter some skipping (almost as if you are getting too far way). It gets worse and worse until they ultimately just stop playing. If I take them...

    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...

    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...

    AirPods Max First Impressions

    I just got a pair of space grey AirPods max this morning, I am planning on returning them within the allowed period (not because I don't like them) I wanted to buy them to test them out and see if they're worth the money, testing in the apple store isn't as good as taking them home. I paid...

    Make AirPods automatic switching a little faster and more reliable on Macs (tutorial)

    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. Switching to an iPhone/iPad almost always works without having to toggle any settings. But MacOS requires you to answer the "AirPods nearby -Connect?"...

    So Apple have created a desire for Lossless Audio. Next move?

    Just thinking what their strategy is here, after the major let down felt by many that their AirPods won’t support lossless audio. So now that the public interest in lossless audio is piqued, are Apple planning to release their next-gen AirPods (Pro) with new chips that support a higher quality...

    How can I prove that my airpods are original?

    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...

    A question about AirPods 2

    Hello, I am facing a huge dilemma. I am a perfectionist and I have always focused on quality, not quantity. In general, I am a musician and my hearing is very developed, which is why I am quite curious about the sound quality. I am currently using Audio Technica headphones (ATH-CK3TW), which...
