This. Why can’t we? You can set up a manual audio midi to combine two AirPods, but it requires pairing both AirPods to the Mac.
Got a tip for us?

My bad. It is in fact "Automatic Ear Detection". Turn that off and your content will play or stay paused disregarding whether you have the pods in your ears or not
Just wish I could get my AirPods max to play out of both sides. Have tried everything but no matter what I do I can now only hear from one side. Both left and right sides work (each time I reset, its a random guess as to which side plays sound, so nothing wrong with the hardware as such) but just not together!
Literally the same thing just happened to my Airpods Max. The genius told me that there may be a firmware issue, but unfortunately there is not an end-user means of updating that. The best option provided was to call 1-800-my-apple and see what can be done whether it is a "software" issue that can be sent to their repairshop or have to pay up $300 for a refurbished replacement set. 😕
I’d love a tip to get it to stop putting up the splash screen about how to mute every single time I take them out.
And me. Won't buy them again after this. Too expensive to have such unreliability and then the store recommended I just buy new ones because the repair cost approached the purchase price. Unsat.I had the same issue
If used just as an EQ (not to actually compensate for hearing loss), that is peak Apple useability
AirPods Pros are garbage, they don’t stay in your ears, my dad has the same problem, for the price apple sells they should offer a complete solution!!! 🤦🏼
Sounds like a you problem. Mine stay in all day and I run and workout and do my physically demanding job in them while covered in sweat. Never once have they fallen out.
Try foam eartips, like from comply on amazon. Everyone’s ears are different, sometimes third party eartips will work better
I had the exact same issue, only used mine at nights to watch movies, they suddenly stopped working after 3 years lol
Do they have a helpful tip on when they’re going to fix the AirPods 3 constantly popping up the instruction telling me that one squeeze of the bud will now mute a call? Or maybe a tip on how to stop it resetting back to this even when I set it to one squeeze to end calls?
I realize you asked Silverado that question, but I took my dead APMs to the genius bar and was told for $300 they would send them in (likely for a refurb exchange) . My son had the same issue with his. I just chose not to give them $300 for a product that has a common flaw, with no opportunity to add AppleCare to prevent another $300 service.
Yes, they had it for 72hs for testing, the answer: "we don't know what happened..."
