    Force Sensor vs Touch Control?

    Last week I purchased the AirPods Pro 2nd Gen b/c Best Buy had them at $60 off. I'm just not sure if I can get used to the feel of the rubber tips after years of using the AirPods 2nd Gen, so I'm interested in trying out the AirPods 4 w/ ANC today. My question is on the stem control. It took...

    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...

    "Mute/Unmute" pop-up when connecting AirPods?

    Has anyone else been seeing a pop-up on their iPhone instructing on the usage of Mute/Unmute when connecting AirPods? I have the latest version of iOS and AirPods Gen 3. I noticed the pop-up started appearing after updating to iOS 17. I thought it was a one-off, but I still see it every now and...

    iPod Bluetooth with flashed iPod 7th Gen

    So I've been trying out bluetooth transmitters for this iPod, and I'm having mixed results. I use Airpods 3. First device, connected by 30 pin, sort of worked, but was soo loud and I couldn't turn the volume down. Refunded for that. Second device, connected by AUX, which I'm using right now...

    Ultra, AirPod 3 stop playing

    Anyone else having this issue? AirPods connect fine for a couple of seconds, then stop. AirPods work fine with all my other devices, and my Sony Link Buds work with the Ultra. Thanks!

    AirPods 3 gen. have you notice that ?

    Hi there! I found that bass on my AirPods 3 when volume at 85% or above is lacking. My AirPods Pro are fine even when at 100% volume. Anyway they sound absolutely brilliant but lows are not that great. Have you experienced that?

    Why doesn't AirPods stop wireless charging when it reaches 100% charge?

    Hello! I bought airpods v3 and wanted to use them with qi wireless charging. But I noticed one unpleasant feature. When the airpods reach 100% charge, wireless charging does not stop the current supply (at the level of 1 watt), which causes the case to constantly heat up. I tested this on two...

    I just placed an order for AirPods 3- primary reason Weightloss!

    I read some decent reviews on the AirPods 3 and this will be my first ever wireless earphones. So bear with me. Gained around 10 pounds during this pandemic, desperately want to lose it. I figured music with exercise will motivate me more. Let's see how it works out. I hope they don't fall out...

    AirPods 3 mic issues

    Ok so owning the AirPods 3 have been an excruciating experience in many ways for me. From initial fit to noise hissing to charging issues I'm not at all as much a fan of them as I was of the original airpods. However there is one thing that really is a deal breaker in my experience. People on...

    Did you return 3rd gen AirPods?

    After 6 weeks of use, my only complaint about 3rd gen airpods is they often become loose and fall out. This problem is annoying, but also a liability: if airpods fall in a drain or elevator shaft etc, apple care does not cover this under accidental damage. So, it seems like only a matter of...

    Apple Music Not blown away by Dolby Atmos spatial audio

    This may or may not be a controversial post. After listening quite a bit on both my 2021 16" MacBook Pro & my new Apple AirPods 3, I find myself going into Apple Music preferences & turning Dolby Atmos off. Some songs sound good. There seem to be more songs though that don't sound that great...

    I thought my new AirPods 3 were broken - turns out they just don't like my ear piercings

    TL;DR AirPods 3 aren't compatible with a Daith-style ear piercing. I've owned every style of AirPods since their inception. I've also had the same ear piercing since my first pair of AirPods and it never interfered with sound or the controls. I was excited for the AirPods 3 because they had...
