    Airpods sound volume degraded, anyone?

    Purchased the aidpods as soon as they came out this past January. They worked fine until about 1 month ago, somehow the sound volume was much less than before. Also, the left air pod sound was much lower than the right one. Haven't really seen that the sound volume degrades with time. Always...

    360 Sound Pods : improving sound quality of EarPods and AirPods while watching videos

    My AirPods Nearly Killed Me!

    Dafaq just happened! No, I wasn't driving/walking blind while being plugged in. It's 2 in the morning and I was just watching a movie on my MacBook. I don't know what exactly caused this but I was skipping ahead in the movie. And all of a sudden the both the AirPods went into this explosive...

    AirPods disconnect on phone call

    just got AirPods and they work great for anything but phone calls. They can’t stay connected to save their lives on phone calls and it’s really annoying since this is a main feature. Use them for an hour for music, no issue. Get a phone call, drops to speaker phone in about 20 seconds...

    AW3 battery life while connecting to AirPods and LTE

    Hi everyone, I was trying to find out how long will the Apple Watch last if connected to AirPods(or any other bluetooth headset) while connecting to the LTE. I know you still can not streaming music at this point, but can still play music saved on the watch. I have the 38mm S3 LTE, which I...

    AirPods 2

    Is it a good time to purchase AirPods, or is it possible they could see a refresh at a March event? At this point in the cycle, I'm not sure if I should keep waiting or go grab them now. Any thoughts?

    AirPod battery life a year later.

    How are your AirPods batteries holding up? How long and how often do you use them? I want to buy them but not if they lose charging capacity within a year or so. I would use them probably one AirPod at a time at work. I work 4 10's and commute so would probably use them up to 12 hours a day at...

    AirPods for $119 (why is it discounted?)

    Anyone knows why these 2 websites are selling AirPods for $119 and not the $159 price. Any reason you can think of that I should not buy? https://www.avo-stores.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1253&language=en&currency=USD...

    Airpods not showing on Watch 3

    My airpods are not showing on my new Watch 3 even though they are on my phone. Tried a erase and re-pair but still nothing. If I go to Bluetooth it just searches in vain. Are your airpods connecting to your Watch 3? Maybe bluetooth is not functioning on my watch.

    I updated iPhone 6s and iPad 11.9 first gen with iOS 11 today and now air pods don’t work on iPad only even though it’s connected fine. No sound comes out. Anyone else have this problem? They work on iPhone fine.

    BlueTooth and Battery

    Hello, I am close to buying AirPods, but I have a reservation. Up until now, I only turn BT on while I am driving. I don't need it the rest of the day. With AirPods, I'm sure BT would stay on permanently. How much does this affect battery? (My iPhone is 6s.)

    AirPods Questions for Owners

    For people who own AirPods, I have a few questions. Is there any BlueTooth hiss? A lot of BT headphones I have tried have a hissing sound that's noticeable when you have them in your ears with no sound playing. Do both microphones work independently? Could I have two people using one earbud...

    Use iOS 11 AirPod features on iOS 10 device

    If you want the new iOS 11 features for the AirPods but you don't want to download the beta on your every day device, download iOS 11 beta on a secondary device. Connect AirPods to that device and change the left and right AirPods settings to your liking (skip, back, pause/play, Siri). When you...

    AirPods iOS 11 features not working?

    When AirPods were first announced, the lack of options other than Siri for track-navigation was a complete dealbreaker for me. So I was thrilled when I learned that iOS 11 introduced the ability to assign custom actions (play/pause and next track) to individual AirPods. I immediately ordered a...

    iOS 11 AirPod controls, now!

    I installed iOS 11, set right AirPod to skip track and left for Siri. Downgraded to 10.3.3 and the double tap controls still work as it did in iOS 11. It doesn't show in the menu on the iPhone. The AirPods are reborn with the use of controls like these. Yes, I have AW but still wanted a way to...

    How to view Bluetooth Handsfree Profile Version?

    Is there a way to check the version of the BT Handsfree profile (HFP) on a Mac? The Bluetooth Explorer app gives lots of detail but in "Local device details" I haven't found what I'm looking for. I hear that iOS uses HFP 1.6 but MacOS uses HFP 1.5. I'd like to check for myself, and understand...

    How to remove unused AirPods from AppleWatch AirPlay menu?

    This has been driving me nuts. When I tried AirPods at the Apple Store before buying my own pair, the store's AirPods remained in my AppleWatch's AirPlay menu. I've long since removed them from my iPhone's Bluetooth pairing menu but they stay in my AppleWatch. How do I remove them?

    iPad AirPods not connecting with iPad Air 2

    Yesterday I had an issue with my AirPods: they appeared as tuned off. So I reset them and paired them again with my iCloud (via my iPhone 6s Plus). Now they work again with the iPhone and the MacBook, but the iPad Air 2 doesn't see the AirPods. In the Bluetooth settings they seem paired. How...
