    AirPods Hold Their Left/Right Assignments

    So today I learned something pretty interesting: AirPods that have been assigned iOS 11 exclusive left/right assignments such as "Next Track" and "Previous Track" still keep their assignments when used with an iOS 10 device. I learned this because I have a 10.5" iPad Pro on iOS 11 while my...

    I have an iPhone 7 and an Apple Watch with which I would like to use Airpods (haven't purchased yet). However, I'm looking at buying a non-Apple laptop and I'm curious what the experience is like switching between an Apple product, and a non-Apple product. Basic scenario here: I would like to...

    Airpods with TV - lipsync issue

    I know that using Airpods with iPhone/Mac doesn't have a lipsync issue because iOS/OSX automatically delays audio slightly to compensate, but when trying to use Airpods with a bluetooth transmitter (TaoTronics Bluetooth Transmitter) which is connected to the headphone jack in my Yamaha A/V...

    Airpods Owners - Have you dropped them ear-pieces yet?

    I dropped the right airpod 4 times and the left one once, in the past 27 days - since I bought them on May'1 2017. Never dropped the case though. As for me, I dropped them while removing a shirt or while taking them off the case; all while I was indoor, all from about. 3 - 6 feet height. Not...

    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...

    Airpods - Should I wait ? vs Audiophile IEM?

    Earpods fit okay in my ear. Four days ago, my earpods broke(some wire connectivity issue in the 3.5mm jack). I'll have to buy something. I'll use it in office and during workout(cardio) to stream apple music. When are people expecting(if at all) 2nd gen Airpods? Also, I'm from India. So it'll...

    Airpods: Phone calls in noisy(ish) environments

    Hi all, I've been a recent lurker here -- I recently made the switch to iOS from Android so admittedly I'm a bit of a neophyte in the ways of the Apple. That said, I'm definitely liking things so far! I'm having a bunch of trouble finding information on the mic quality/filtering/sensitivity...

    AirPods microphones do not work with third party apps

    I just noticed that the mics on the AirPods do not work with third party applications like Whatsapp (voice note), Instagram (video), Snapchat (video/voice note), etc. and only works with Apple's own apps: phone, iMessage, camera and voice memos (haven't tried with GarageBand).

    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.

    AirPods slow down the Internet connection on MacBook Pro

    Hello everyone! I know it sounds weird but I feel so. Every time I try to watch YouTube videos with my AirPods in my years, the quality of the video drops, the video always stops in order for buffering. Is it made for the seamless picture and sound in my ears? Or why? It starts to look this...

    How are the AirPods on a plane?

    AirPods are coming... what should I expect?

    So I was searching eBay for a set of AirPods the other day because I'm heading out of town next week and was desperate for a pair to take with me. Most were selling at ridiculous prices and I wasn't willing to pay $300 for a $159 pair of earbuds. So I scoured the internet and saw a post by 9to5...

    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...
