    Beats X headphones suddenly make no sound on my MBP 10.9.5

    It was working fine with my MBP for the first few months and then all of a sudden it stopped maybe a month or two ago. Possibly because of an automatic firmware update on the headphones. It pairs and the MBP shows it is connected, but sound doesn't come through the headphones. You can even hear...

    Hello, I am just about to buy my first wireless headphones (RHA AM650) replacing wired Sennheiser Momentum in-ears and I have a few questions. Firstly, as these aren't Beats or AirPods, will the pricing and overall use be smooth or a bit tricky? Secondly, is there a way in iOS11 to see the...
