    How-To make AirPods sound GOOD!

    Consider this a public service announcement :p Skip to DO THIS if you can’t be bothered with any prior explanation. To me it seems there are two AirPod users: those who don’t like the sound too much but live with it and those who couldn’t care less. Either way, AirPods sound kinda bad out of...

    iPad Air iPad Air 11 M2

    I just got the new iPad Air 11 M2 and have paired my AirPods. I can hear out of the AirPods but my iPad does not hear me when I speak. I am using a Zagg XTR screen protector which I notice covers the front facing camera and speaker. But would that affect my AirPods recognizing my voice??? I...

    What is going on with Beats?

    The leaks about new Beats are unusual. Beats Studio Buds Plus are in between 2 products. Beats Studio Buds, and Beats Fit Pro. The idea of some new Beats Studio Pro headphones makes sense. I think there will be multiple new headphones in the next 2 years. (This is not a leak.) However, most of...

    Headphones not Recognized

    Not sure if this is M1 specific or an OS-wide thing. But I've noticed on my 14" M1 Pro MacBookPro that it has an annoying inconsistency with audio. I can have my headphones plugged in and audio will still come blasting out of the speakers. This seems to happen quite a lot after a reboot. As...

    We were gifted 2 AirTags last year, which we have no real use for. I got myself Beyerdynamic DT770 PRO headphones and was thinking of putting one AirTag into one of the cups, as I use them as my only headphones and am also not fond of leaving them somewhere behind. Dies anyone have experience...

Some mandatories: - Over the ear 👂 (my current work headset is uncomfortable fast) - Wired and bluetooth 🟦 (my work mac doesn't allow bluetooth, but I want it for personal life) - Really solid mic(s) 🎤, but...

    Lightning to Headphone Jack - Audio levels sound different to iPad Pro USB C Adapter

    Last night I received a pair of Etymotic ER2SE IEMs and I hooked them up to the lightning adapter and iPhone 13 Pro (fresh install few days ago) and I noticed that at 50% volume, they sound low. I then tried them at the same volume but with the Apple USB C 3.5mm adapter on my 2018 iPad Pro and...

    Apple Music Disappointing Atmos & How Apple Can improve this.

    I’m coming to this as a bit of a surround sound geek so please bear with me. Dolby Atmos music on Apple Music is really disappointing so far. I am using 3rd party headphones so those with supported AirPods may get a better experience. A lot of songs sound like they are being presented very...

    Best Headphones for Apple’s Upcoming Lossless Audio?

    I’ve been using Creative Labs wireless earbuds for a couple of years now, but the sound quality gradually deteriorates with use until I clean the filters. I’ve been considering a pair of over-the-ear wired headphones because I listen to music while I work and don’t need wireless capability...

    Anyone else having headphone and Bluetooth issues with 14.4?

    I have been using a pair of wireless Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones regularly since getting them in the summer of 2020 and only recently (the last few days) starting experiencing random disconnects for no reason. I have to turn the headphones off and back on for them to reconnect. There is no...

    Returned your AirPods Max?

    I’m curious for those that returned the AirPods Max, what did you purchase instead? I returned my AirPods Max mainly because of the weight of the earcups. Over time, it was bothersome. But I really miss the sound quality. Picked up the Bose 700 headphones which are lighter and way more...

    Hub for iPad with Headphone and Ethernet?

    Looking for a hub to use with my iPad Pro 2020 that has: 1) Ethernet 2) either A 3.5mm headphone connection or a USB-C input (where I could use the apple USB-c to 3.5mm adapter) that DOES NOT DISABLE the internal mic when used...! (TRS as opposed to TRSS?) I am considering the Kingston Nucleum...

    iPad Pro iPad Pro battery drains quickly with headphones plugged in

    I recently bought an 11" iPad Pro. I'm using the USB-C to 3.5mm headphone adapter and keep Apple iPhone wired headphones plugged in. After I close the cover the screen shuts off but my battery drains quickly - about 20% every 24 hours. Is anyone else experiencing this? Feels like a bug. When I...

    Powerbeats Pro vs. over the ear headphones. Which leaks more sound?

    Hi everyone, I'm working in a rather quiet office and have to be aware of sound leaking from my headphones into the room. I don't want to annoy my colleagues with whatever it is I am listening to, so I've been wondering what would be the better option for me. A pair of in-the-ear Powerbeats...

    Powerbeats Pro - In Store Colors?

    I know that the buds will only be sold in black today / at release, but... will stores have other colors on display, and/or available to be worn? This goes out to those who’ve been to an Apple Store today, or otherwise checked... I’m near Apple’s SF Union Square Store btw
