I had the original AirPods and loved them and when the new Pros came out I decided to upgrade. But I’ve found these a little frustrating for the reasons below. I couldn’t fault the original pods so it’s a shame I’m not 100% satisfied with Apples new version
Issue 1
The squeeze vs Tap seems like a backwards move to me. I had the original AirPods for 3 years then upgraded. But when out running and I want to skip a track I have to fumble around trying to squeeze while at the same time trying to not knock the AirPod out my ear. For me this is a big miss and I realise the enhancements are welcome overall. This method and ease to skip will cause me no end of frustration.
Issue 2
They simply will not stay in my ear. I’ve tried every bud they come bundled with and the same happens. Starts off ok then as soon as I start to mildly warm up they just keep falling out and I spend the whole workout just pushing them back in. I had to buy some silicone ear grips to put them into which helps but means I have to constantly remove / add them when in and out of the charging pod.
Anyone else experienced the same frustrations?
