    Not sure, But I think i got scammed on a pair of beats Solo 3 via Craigslist. they came brand new still in wrap. Everything well packaged and looks legit(compared to unboxing videos) I think they might be fake because I can't get the m1 chip to work. Tried pairing with my iphone and ipad both on...

    Savfy True Wireless Mini Bluetooth Headphones review

    The True Wireless Mini Bluetooth Earphones from Savfy mimic a lot of what the new Apple Airpods do but in a more generic fashion. These come nicely packaged with a rechargeable protective case, a pair each of small, medium & large silicon tips, a Micro USB cable and user manual. While this...

    10.3 removes screen locked audio feature

    Just noticed this the day after updating. iPhone 7 no longer will play youtube video sound with the screen locked but restarted via headphones. So, playing a Youtube video, locking the screen, restarting sound via headphones no longer works via Safari. Google Chrome will still do it, FYI...

    Broken AirPods

    Has anyone broken their AirPods yet due to everyday use? Just wondering they seem very durable at the moment and have not heard how much effort it would take to break AirPods being so small and light.

    iPhone 7 Question: Dual headphone jack/charger single suggestion

    I'm about to go to sleep laying in bed, where I usually plug my phone in for the night, and am looking forward to catching up on the latest TWD episode and realized not having a headphone jack will actually force me to change my iPhone usage habits. I'd prefer to either not carry a pair of...

    I have a 16gb golden iPhone 6 plus and according to the specs and information online, their exists a 3.5mm headphone jack on the Phone itself. However, no headphones matching that diameter actually fit or work. Not even the the 3.5mm apple ear-pods I have will fit. Its not stiff, clogged, funny...

    Are the Beats X wires too long?

    I'm interested in the new Beats X to use with my iPhone, but the wires that attach to the earbuds themselves look way too long and look as if they'd smack into my face. Does anyone have experience with the new Beats X and can they confirm this? Would just like some extra insight.

    Recommendations for on-ear headphones?

    I'd tempted to purchase the Powerbeats 3 for my runs but absolutely loathe the rounded in ear style headphones. Does anyone have any suggestions as to in ear headphones (similar to EarPods)?

    Sierra Sound Problems

    I guess I'm hoping this might well have been posted before and somebody can point me in the right direction as this is starting to my head in... My late 2009 27" iMac seems to have developed a problem where it insists a pair of headphones is plugged in and there's no internal audio option in...

    iPhone 7 lightning headphones don't work with siri

    This is a joke of a problem when so much was made of the removal of the aux. How could a company that takes itself seriously let this happen? Clearly there is no taking oneself seriously at apple. Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions? Thanks

    Macbook Pro won't switch back to internal speakers after bluetooth headphones

    Longest title ever. But. I was listening to music on my new 13" macbook pro (with touchbar) earlier while working. After turning them off, confirming they're not connected to my computer anymore, confirming they're not on the list in my sound preferences, selecting "internal speakers" in sound...

    Hi all! About two weeks ago, I shared Is In Stock—our AirPods email alert service—with all of you and got some amazing response and feedback.

    Lightning Headphone Splitter?

    My fiancee and I both have iPhone 7s. I'd like to find a headphone splitter for two lightning headphones. Previously, I had a good aux-splitter for two aux-based-headphones, but now we both use lightning headphones and would like to listen to the same device at the same time. I'm finding a TON...

    Possible to prevent sound switching to HDMI when plugged in?

    Is there any way to set my sound so that it WON'T switch to HDMI when I plug in my extra monitor? I frequently plug my MBP into my extra monitor at my desk but I'm also always carrying it to meetings. My monitor is HDMI but doesn't have a headphone jack. So every time I plug in my monitor...

    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...

    So I was doing my usual Friday routine. Listening to podcasts / music and stopped to talk to someone. Paused my podcast via my earphone controls. 10 mins later clicked on my earphone remote to resume and nothing. I had to pull out the iPhone and resume on the screen. Controls worked after that...

    iPhone 6S>iPhone7

    I'm going to go buy a 6S next week because... earphones. Who is with me? I'm not even slightly kidding. I like the headphones I own. I am not screwing around with a fiddly adapter to use my headphones. As a plus I can get a maxed out 6s now for a fair bit less than a 7 with a contract renewal...

    Serious, how many people actually listen to headphones and charge at the same time?

    I can see the desire to charge and listen to something, granted, you'll be stuck in one spot as your power cable needs to be plugged into an outlet. Perhaps office workers at a desk job would be the majority of people with this desire? With that being said, who actually does this and in what...
