I know, such a revolutionary idea... :D After trying the 3rd Gen's recently, then the new 4th Gen's, and the Pro 2nd Gen's, I'm ultimately back to...

    Anyone keeping extra spare sets of 2nd generation AirPods for when they are no longer available?

    Maybe I’m crazy, but I greatly prefer the 2nd generation AirPods over the 3rd generation AirPods due to comfort and method of interaction. The tap to interact is so much better to me cause I can tap of them as I’m walking whereas the 3rd generation ones are controlled by squeezing the stem and I...

    AirPods Pro (2nd gen) unboxing and lanyard question?

    I'm late to the AirPods Pro (2nd gen) party! I just got it last night. I compared it to the 1st gen and the bass and clarity improved a bit but not a drastic change. I even filmed a late night unboxing about it haha! My question is: What's the lanyard you are using? I got a cheap one that comes...

    Airpods Pro 2 are a HUGE upgrade from PowerBeats Pro

    In case you were wondering, the Airpods Pro 2 are WAY better than Powerbeats Pro in every way (that matters to me): 1) sound quality - was very surprised at how much better, was expecting only a marginal improvement; and spatial audio is a noticeable bonus improvement 2) comfort, fit 3) UI 4)...

    Entirely unable to connect 2nd gen to MacBook Pro Suddenly

    I've 'forgotten' and reconnected them multiple times. I am able to use them without issue on my iPhone. However on my MacBook they will show as being paired, and then disconnect within 5 seconds or so. I've also noticed that when I do pair them they don't play the sound that signals they have...

    Question about charging AirPods

    Hello. How is it better to charge my new AirPods 2? I want to save their battery as much as possible. I charge them with the charger on my iPhone. It’s better if I charge them on the computer or does not matter? thanks.

    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.

    Airpods (2nd Gen): Left Airpod doesn't connect until I put it back in the case and wear it again

    My left airpod (Airpods 2nd Gen) often doesn't connect with my devices (MBP 2015 & iPhone 7), until I take both my Airpods out, place them back in the case and wear them a second time. This is peculiar, because other than this my Airpods work perfectly. Once I re-insert them, there are no...

    Airpods 2 loose hinge

    Just got my first ever airpods (2nd gen). Out of the box, the hinge feels a bit loose and whether the lid is closed or open it is possible to move it left and right and it makes a creaking sound. When the lid is closed it also makes creaking noises while wiping down the case with microfiber...

    I know I’m a little (a lot) late to the party, but I have a question about AirPods

    I first got AirPods when the 2nd generation first came out. I was so excited when I got them, they were everything I ever wished for. Perfect for soccer game warmups, for a quick listen, or when I’m on the train on the way to work. Now the problem was that they would be loose in my ear, more...

    So i just bought the 2nd gen AirPods and noticed the UI seems just as if it was any other pair of bluetooth headphones. I’m on 12.1.2 because of jailbreak, but I read like everywhere that everything works the same except for “Hey Siri” which I am fine with, but even something like opening the...
