    Audio occasionally cutting out using USB-C Earpods on a MacBook Pro?

    I have been using Earpods (USB-C) on an M1 Macbook Pro with Zoom and when on several hours of meetings, every once in awhile they will cut out and I cannot hear the other person speaking, has anyone else run into this issue before? Either waiting 10-30 seconds or disconnecting the headset and...

    iPhone 15/Plus Headphone jack closure

    Now we've moved to USB-C entirely, I'm finally content with the headphone jack being removed. Yes, I use AirPods most of the time but sometimes it's nicer/quicker/more convenient just to plug something in and have it work. With the new USB-C earpods, I finally have a single pair of headphones...

    EarPods "Pro?"

    Could you see Apple ever introducing a more performant version of their compellingly-priced wired EarPods, e.g. an EarPods Pro with an MSRP of $49-$99? Just something with a smidge more luxury compared to the $20 offering, mostly emphasizing sound quality as well as perhaps sporting an updated...

    EarPods?

    Is there any difference in sound quality between EarPods with lightning EarPods with 3,5mm and adapter? Does lossless audio in Apple Music work with EarPods? I would use them with 13 mini. I don’t like AirPods as I always forget to charge them… they are dead when needed…

    iPhone Earpods on Windows

    I was in a Discord call and I just noticed the microphone of my earpods actually work on my Windows 10 HP laptop. How is that possible? I thought it only works exclusively on Apple products?

    Airpods - vs Earpods and Bose

    Hi everyone, I read so many comments about the AirPods sounding superior to the earpads. More bass! What utter nonsense. I finally have a 2nd Gen pair and they sound virtually the same. I also had (but traded in) a pair of Bose SoundSport Free and they sounded much better. I do love: 1. no...

    AirPods vs EarPods shipped with iPhones?

    Does anybody know if there is an actual sound quality difference between the 1-2 generation AirPods (regular, not Pros) and the stock wired EarPods that Apple includes with their iPhones? As they both look nearly identical, do they use different drivers or do AirPods basically equal EarPods...

    Other iPhone, Spotify EQ and EarPods.

    Hey, I listen to music on Spotify a lot and recently started messing with the built in EQ inside the app. I'm just curious which EQ preset you prefer when using EarPods or AirPods? Do you set your own? No EQ at all? I tend to switch between Rock and Electronic preset.

    EarPods

    Hello, can anyone explain the difference between the EarPods MD827ZM/B and the EarPods MD827? The ones I was using died and I went to get a pair I had bought as backup a while ago and they sometimes introduce an annoying noise in phone calls, a problem I had before with an older pair (older than...

    Lightning EarPods issue with iPad Pro 10.5

    I sometimes use my Lightning EarPods for FaceTime Audio calls and the other person sometimes tells me that I am extremely staticky. So bad that she has to hang up sometimes because it’s so loud. I can listen to music and use the controls perfectly fine, it’s just the microphone that *****...

    AirPods popping noise?

    When I switch apps or start/stop a YouTube video or Spotify song there is a popping noise heard through the AirPods. Is this normal or are my AirPods faulty? (AirPods are 100% charged)

    AirPods charging through lightning cable?

    my AirPods are 100% charged but my case is 54% charged. Can I just plug my case in to charge with the lightning adapter and not overcharge the AirPods that are in the case? Or do I have to remove the 100% charged AirPods then charge the case?
