    Running with AirPods in the Rain

    Over the past week I've read through pages and pages of comments and posts on Airpods. I haven't seen a thread specifically for runners or those involved in lots of exercise and physical activity. I received my AirPods one week ago today, and I really like them. They fit great, and it's really...

    Where to buy AirPods?

    I just ordered today from Best Buy. Best to just wait for it from there, or to maybe cancel and wait for more from at&t, since I saw so many were getting theirs in just days

    Apple releases 2 more (UK only) AirPods Ads

    It looks like this trend will continue although I don't know why it's exclusive to the UK right now. Just posting for anyone interested in Apples marketing campaigns, especially since these are region specific. Has anyone outside the U.K. Seen these ads online? [This thread will be...

    Apple AirPods Charging Question

    When I first opened up my AirPods, I noticed a few things, after pairing them to the iPhone7+ (using the Apple method). • The headphones arrived with 35%/36% and the case was 35% I let the case charge the AirPods and I plugged the case into the lightning port. I noticed: • AirPods charged...

    AirPods Preparing for Shipment: Dec 27th - Feb 1st + Firmware v3.5.1

    So I have finally seen some movement on my order placed on December 27th 2016. The fact that this happened in conjunction with the release of Firmware 3.5.1. Not to mention Apple's own historical actions... this move is highly suspect. This would suggest to me there has been some hardware...

    My AirPods are faulty (constant high-pitched noise), Apple rejects service

    Tl;dr: A high-pitched noise from my left AirPod bugs me to the limit of not being able to use them, service provider say that there's nothing wrong with them and Apple won't help me. I'm left with a faulty product I cannot use. What can I do? Long version: I hear from my left AirPod a...

    iPod Volume too quiet using AirPods with Nano

    I have just tried my brand new AirPods (love them by the way), with my iPod Nano (7th Gen), and while they pair up just fine, the volume is too quiet to be listenable anywhere but a totally silent room. What are the chances that we will get a software update on the Nano to resolve this issue...

    Hey everyone, What are your thoughts on some better alternatives to Apple's AirPods. It seems like loads of manufacturers are releasing similar offerings now. Does anybody have any first hand experience with any of these?

    AirPod Customer Service Nightmare and why I'll never buy an Apple again

    I just needed everyone on here thinking that AirPods can be replaced to know my customer service story. It is long but I think worth the read. On Friday, I contacted Apple support chat to buy two replacement Airbuds. I had seen on Gawker that they were available if lost. Unfortunately, mine...

    How Airpods and Apple Watch need to work

    I'm really finding i miss those inline controls of the standard wired earpods. They had everything you need. I got an apple watch as i knew i wanted the airpods and i knew they didn't come with controls. No one wants to use Siri on the bus, train and you can't even on a plane. Being Australian...

    2016 MBP 15" Bluetooth

    Since getting my 15" MBP I've noticed sporadic bluetooth dropouts and I think it occurs more often with the # of devices connected. For instance my Magic 2 Keyboard will randomly get stuck typing or my Magic 2 TrackPad will stop responding and my AirPods can't stay connected for more than a few...

    Is In Stock can now alert you when AirPods are available at AT&T, Best Buy and Verizon

    Hi all! About two weeks ago, I shared Is In Stock—our AirPods email alert service—with all of you and got some amazing response and feedback. Up until now, we were just checking Apple's inventory to see when the AirPods were available for in-store pickup. Today, we're announcing support for 3...

    AirPods Case Not Charging

    I dont think that I have seen this specific issue on the forums, but please merge if it exists. For the past few days, when I plug in my AirPods case, it will charge the AirPods themselves, but the battery inside the case does not seem to be taking a charge. As of today, it is all the way down...

    Cleaning AirPods?

    Now that some of us have had AirPods for a few weeks, I figure it's time to start worrying about cleaning them. In the past, Earpods were kind of disposable, so I never worried too much about cleaning them once they inevitably got clogged with earwax. Sorry, but there's no delicate way to put...

    AirPod 2's?

    Does anyone have an educated guess of when/if the AirPods will receive an update anytime soon? And what would you guess the odds are they come in black?
