airpods

But that means that my new AirPods don't have Find My, and I can't use the new AirTags either.

An example is I have my airpods bound to ctrl+alt+b to connect via Bluetooth.

Turn off Siri and CarPlay gets painful from memory, and my AirPods won’t translate without it turned on.

I have one hearing aid so I've had to take it out so I can wear both AirPods when I want noise cancellation at all with AirPods.

Necessary, as the cheaper & smaller AirPods Pro had all these features for a while now.

Baby crying sound is around 300-400 Hz and let me tell you my airpods pro definitely let me hear the baby cry.

Is this a known / agreed upon feature of ANC headphones or just a property of a specific iteration of let's say airpods?

I think the only place that Apple has done a good job with volume controls is the AirPods Max.

I wore my original beloved AirPods Max for a walk one Edmonton winter day and they became a brick.

But there aren't even new colors - the colors were released in a AirPods Max 1.1 release that changed to a USB-C port.

Sinus/ear infections cause one of my kids to temporarily not be able to hear well due to fluid in the ear, and AirPods help.

Comparing only the ear buds, Airpods are the less forgiving with the ear fit of the three models, they clearly prioritized aestetics before ergonomics.

For myself, I bought two wireless charge "base" stations that handle my spouse's and my phone/watch/airpods.

And it's the one device I have (including iPhone, iPad and Mac) for which AirPods are 100% a "just works" experience.

Sennheiser Momentum 4 (wire also optional for the overears) are also a very good alternative, maybe not as blocking as the Airpods, but the sound is probably better, more "natural", but that is a personal taste after all.

AppleCare is only worth it for expensive things with big repair costs; the "repair fee" for AirPods is such a high percentage of the replacement price that it just is not worth it.

The point is that there were excellent NC options before the Airpods, and almost nobody gave a fuck about the technology.

People want the iPhone, they want Airpods, but the M-series Macs have spent 5 years changing absolutely nothing.
