    AirPods Max First Impressions

    I just got a pair of space grey AirPods max this morning, I am planning on returning them within the allowed period (not because I don't like them) I wanted to buy them to test them out and see if they're worth the money, testing in the apple store isn't as good as taking them home. I paid...

    Make AirPods automatic switching a little faster and more reliable on Macs (tutorial)

    Automatic switching to and from Macs We all know how less than reliable the auto-switching feature works even after recent updates to Big Sur. Switching to an iPhone/iPad almost always works without having to toggle any settings. But MacOS requires you to answer the "AirPods nearby -Connect?"...

    So Apple have created a desire for Lossless Audio. Next move?

    Just thinking what their strategy is here, after the major let down felt by many that their AirPods won’t support lossless audio.

    A question about AirPods 2

    Replacement AirPods Pro Process

    I was wondering if anyone had any experience with Apple support changing their processes re:replacing AirPods Pros. In the past I had a lot of the crackling issues and a lot of replacements from Apple themselves. That process was pretty much: tell apple of the problems, they place a hold on my...

    How to update the Airpods Max + why they haven't updated yet for some of us

    So I went down some rabbit hole after trying to get my AirPods Max to update and noticing that they weren't updating after following all voodoo steps that I saw online. I saw this tweet which says that you could debug the process with the Console app on Mac. After playing around with it, here's...

    Stop input switching on Big Sur

    Basically, Id like to stop the MacBook from switching my input from the built in mic, my external mic, or whatever mic I select in the system preferences window to the airpods mic when I connect them to the macbook (as it makes sound output fuzzy and not nice). Is there any way to set a default...

    AirPods can work on an iPad 1

    It is possible to pair AirPods with an iPad Generation 1. It even outputs sound, although it cannot automatically turn off, and you cannot change any of the AirPod’s settings (without using a newer device that should support AirPods). Cool. :cool:

    Airpods (2nd Gen): Left Airpod doesn't connect until I put it back in the case and wear it again

    My left airpod (Airpods 2nd Gen) often doesn't connect with my devices (MBP 2015 & iPhone 7), until I take both my Airpods out, place them back in the case and wear them a second time. This is peculiar, because other than this my Airpods work perfectly. Once I re-insert them, there are no...

    Coming from overear Beats to Airpods

    Has anyone here made a switch from Beats Solo3 headphones (or any other big headphones) to Airpods? I've been loving my Beats since I bought them 4 years ago but they're starting to fall apart (literally :D ) and I'm in the search for something new. 99% of the time I use my headphones at home...

    AirPods Pro Battery Dead

    Two days ago I grabbed my AirPods Pro to use on a zoom meeting and they wouldn't connect to my mac. Turns out both the AirPods Pro and the case were completely drained.

    Inconsistent Noise Cancellation? (AirPods Max)

    So I’ve had my AirPods Max for about two weeks now. Is it just me, or does the Noise Cancelling change in correlation to how your turn your head and the location of the sound source? Or is this normal? I’m on my second pair now (due to colour change) and I’m noticing this on both pairs. Does...
