    Quicker switching of AirPods between devices

    I have been very pleased with AirPods over the past couple years. There is one thing that would make them even more useful to me, and that is quicker or automatic switching between devices. My Bose QC35 headphones connect to my iPhone and Mac simultaneously, so if I'm watching a video or...

    New AirPods 2 noise cancellation?

    Anyone know if the new AirPods have the noise cancellation feature this time around. Would be nice if it had this feature available. Always a little frustrating when walking or talking and the listener can hear everything in the background when using AirPods. MacRumors, maybe ask apple if this...

    AirPods liquid damage

    Hello, I have a quick question: Would Apple repair AirPods unfortunately damaged by a liquid spillage if I didn't buy it through them? I brought the AirPods from John Lewis, but their guarantee doesn't include accidental damage. But if I paid for a repair by Apple, would they do it? Thanks,

    Hey guys, the last couple of months my AirPods were unable to hold a proper charge and playback music for longer than 2-3 hours.

    Is this normal?

    Recently purchased some AirPods and love them! the only thing I'm slightly worried is the battery, is it normal for battery on the pods to go from 100% to 80% in 45 minutes usage which consisted of a quick 10 minute call and 35 minute podcast listening .. just want some benchmarks to compare to...

    Well, as I suspected, the Earpods and Airpods sound virtually the same. https://www.rtings.com/headphones/tools/compare/apple-airpods-vs-apple-earpods/405/406?usage=5003&threshold=0.1

    AirPower and AirPods

    When do you guys think we will see AirPower and the new AirPods with wireless charging? Was hoping AirPower would roll out along side the new Battery Cases but it didn't. Do you think we will have to wait for a major product launch to see AirPower? Like at a Mac event or when they update...

    OMG, this qi case for AirPods is amazing

    I just bought this AirPods case from qipods.shop and it works like a charm. It's unlike any sleeve. It's a full replacement of the AirPods case. Tho, it doesn't pair and is for charging only... But it's great enough for everyday use. I have been using it about a day now and I almost forgot it's...

    AirPods: Just started high-strength antibiotics

    Hi everyone, I've been using Airpods for a year, probably 5-6 hours a day on average, I never used any bluetooth accessory before, always avoided them, but gave AirPods a chance, and it indeed cut my cable clutter a lot, and while it lasted, I did enjoy the practicality and the technology, it's...

    Are there more than 3 headphones with a W1 chip on the entire plant?

    Can't bring myself to buy 2-year old tech AirPods

    I really want the AirPods and was hoping Apple would announce an updated version today. At least minimal improvements and/or new chips inside (W2?). If the originals were discounted down to $99 I would get them, but with prices in the $144-$159 range, I just can't pay full or near full price...
