    Using AirPods like a PA system?

    Hi there - I have a very specific request that I'm hoping someone might have a solution for. I am looking to use my AirPods (or even better, a single AirPod) to amplify my voice and have it go to a speaker, bluetooth or wired. I have found a couple of subpar, outdated apps that allow you to...

    AirPods popping noise?

    When I switch apps or start/stop a YouTube video or Spotify song there is a popping noise heard through the AirPods. Is this normal or are my AirPods faulty? (AirPods are 100% charged)

    AirPods Battery Degradation

    Do AirPods batteries (in the case and the earbuds themselves) experience the same kind of battery degradation as phones? We all know how bad battery degradation can be with phones. Does that carry over to this audio accessory? It is after all the same underlying battery technology (lithium-ion).

    Why is Apple's iOS bluetooth so buggy? And why don't they fix it?

    I have had iPhones since the original I now have an iPhone X and really like it. I went to bluetooth headsets very early and I have had perhaps a half dozen different models. My previous headset was a Powerbeats3 with the Apple chip in it. My current set is a pair of Airpods I bought about 3...

    AirPods charging through lightning cable?

    my AirPods are 100% charged but my case is 54% charged. Can I just plug my case in to charge with the lightning adapter and not overcharge the AirPods that are in the case? Or do I have to remove the 100% charged AirPods then charge the case?

    AirPods too quiet at 10-30% volume?

    I've tried the trick of turning the device to mute, disconnecting AirPods, reconnecting, and turning volume up. The volume is almost unusable at 10-30%. Is this common? They still get loud at max volume.

    AirPods or Bose QC35?

    Obviously these are two completely different types of headphones, but if you could only buy one of the two and not any other, which one would you choose and why?

    AirPods battery lifetime charging cycles and overall battery maintenance

    Can anyone confirm how many charging cycles the AirPods take before degrading? Some wireless products I own by Bose say 1000 full charges before degrading. I can’t find anything by Apple on the subject. I use AirPods 12 hours a day 4 days a week at my job and charge them a couple times a day...

    AirPod connection - slow

    notice lately it takes 15-30 sec from when I put one or both of my AirPods in my ear, to hear the connection sound and see the icon on my phone. Any idea why the process is so slow?

    AirPod controls without Siri?

    Airpods interfering with speakerphone?!

    Hey all- I got Airpods two days ago, and have been happy for the most part, until a recent discovery. My Airpods were sitting on my desk, haven't had them in for 40 mins or so, and I was on a call in a conference room about 30 feet away (or so.) I was on a phone call, on speakerphone, and every...

    iPhone Airpods battery check by opening their charge case unreliable?

    Holding the AirPods charging case close to an iPhone and opening it will pop up a sheet from the bottom and show you the battery charge of both the case and the individual AirPods. Is this unreliable for anyone else? Seems it sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t and there is no discernible...
