    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...

    All Devices AirPlay to HomePod from iPad/iPhone No Longer Plays Just Sound

    I'm not certain if this relates to the firmware on iPadOS/iOS 13 or HomePod, but I used to be able to airplay just audio to my HomePod and watch video on my iPad Pro 11 or iPhone 11 Pro. Now if I use any app: Spectrum, Infuse Pro, Apple TV+, anytime I select one of my HomePod's to play just the...

    True Wireless Stereo earbuds. What is the deciding factor?

    Dear All, The TWS market is "booming" and nearly all respectable electronic brands will pull out TWS earbuds. Apple nailed it down with the AirPod Pro's and cover nearly all aspects of what a good TWS should be in my humble opinion. Nevertheless no TWS can have it all and one way or another...

    A1502 (13" 2015) sound quality

    I'm now deciding between 13" (A1502) and 15" (A1398) models. The sound quality matters much to me, so I did a research but could not find any comperation between those machines in that regard. Can you please tell me, how much their speakers differ, how worse is the 13 compared to bigger brother...

    AirPod Pros-Flying?

    I love my new AirPod Pros and will be flying this Friday. Has anyone tried them on a flight yet, and if so, did they ANC really come through? It would save space to not bring my Bose QC ones.

    2012 Macbook Air Speakers not working

I also tried installing...
