Airpods with old versions of OS X?
I recently bought the Airpods Pro (gen 2). They work with my modern iPhone and Apple Watch, and my Nintendo Switch. However, I can't seem to make them consistently work with my desktop or laptop which both run OS X 10.9 Mavericks. I of course don't expect the automagic Apple ID syncing stuff to...- Wowfunhappy

How to make my current APP1's sound better?
I assume I'll be getting comments asking why I'm using APP1 with an android and I'll be told to buy an iPhone (I can't) but I use APP1's with a budget Samsung phone, It works somehow.

Airpods (1st v) and Powerbeats won't connect to Apple TV same time
I was hoping we could watch Apple TV shows using the version 1 Airpods and my Powerbeats. Airpods connected fine. But then my Powerbeats got a message that I can't get it to connect UNLESS I turn off the Airpods. Is this an Apple TV model-specific thing - or do I need two pairs of current...- silverlakerCA

AirPods 2 disconnects when an application is being closed
Hello folks. I recently noticed some issues with my AirPods 2, which was replaced by Apple almost 3 months ago. I am using an iPhone 8 Plus (iOS 13.3 with jailbreak) and an AirPods 2 (without wireless charging case). When I close the Spotify while the Airpods are connected, I see that the...- GoztepeEge

How are Airpods and an Apple Watch the same price?
Just browsing the holiday gift guide and it struck me that it is kind of crazy that Airpods Pro (2nd Gen) and Apple Watch SE are the same price. I know one is top of the line in its category, and other is bottom of the line in its own ... but the technology/materials/components just seem... -

AirPods Pro 2 unusable at airports
So I've had my AirPods Pro 2 for about 12 days now and had a couple of flights recently. The audio cut outs are awful at Denver airport when in the gate area (especially Terminal B), I'm talking at least 20 seconds of silence or static intermittently during 60 seconds of audio. Its worse if when...- TheMountainLife

expose sound modes button in iOS
Is there a way to expose the noise cancelling/transparency modes button in the iOS UI to somewhere more convenient? Apple is like "Just unlock your iPhone, then swipe down, then long press on volume, then tap the sound modes and then pick the one you want, bro." Why isn't the button in the... -

Concept mockups: AirPods Pro with always-on display case
I'm not a great graphic artist, but I wondered what a future pair of AirPods might be like. I thought it would be neat if you could still listen to music when you leave your phone behind. Here are a few mock-up concepts of what I hope we see in the future: -

AirPods 2nd vs 3rd Generation for non-casual movement exercises (swinging kettlebells, etc)
For exercises with much body movement, like swinging kettlebells, I currently use the AirPods 2. I also own the AirPods Pro 1st Gen, but have found that they tend to fall out when doing much body movement. One of my AirPods 2 pods just died, and this is probably the eighth pod to die that has... -

A miracle has just happened…
So this morning I put all my washing in the washing machine, including last night’s pants that had my Airpods pro ear buds in them.

I have a problem using my AirPods at work
I think they might be automatically trying to connect to my coworker's AirPods, but I don't see how this would even be a problem because her AirPods would not be registered as being owned by me. There is bad service in the building where I work so I can understand how Spotify would be an issue...- Bill Gatin
