    Airpods as remote wireless microphones

    It occurred to me that Airpods have the ability to record voices wirelessly. Recording works ok with wired EarPods. For self video recordings, I have used separate wireless microphones for presentations. There are numerous considerations such as charging time, app compatibility and ease of...
