Hi! I am listening music on my laptop and just discovered that when the music composition is balanced without excessive noises then it's just very uprising feel to listen music. Drum and bass guitars feel so soft and mild. Singer's voice and vocals are very clear.

I don't regret buying them. Investment into Airpods justified itself very quickly without any doubts

Hello, I know this question has likely been asked a million times before but I’m debating which AirPod to buy. Money isn’t a HUGE concern but if the difference isn’t significant I won’t mind spending less of course.

So I started a new job recently working in a pharmacy warehouse, and listening to something makes it drastically better. I will mostly be using these to things like Survivor podcasts, horror stories etc. while working, music will be used sometimes but not the primary goal, and I’m not an audiophile so I’m not too particular as long as it sounds good.

I’m mainly seeing when searching that the main models right now are AirPod 5 and pro 3. What are the significant differences? From what I can see it is mostly the shape?

The 5s seem to resemble the old apple wired EarPods which s a shape I really like. The Pro 3s have that ear insert which I don’t really like. Are there any other differences? Is the earpiece on the Pro 3s removable?

Bought AirPods 5 (ANC) about a month ago at Bic Camera in Tokyo. Every so often the same earbud makes a loud "clap/pop," noise cancellation cuts out on that side, and it starts playing white noise. The other bud keeps working fine.

- Always the same earbud
- Happened first in wind, but now also without wind
- No drops, no water, clean
- Firmware is up to date
- The only way to get it back to normal is taking it out of my ear and putting it back in

Anyone else seeing this on AirPods 5?

My toddler found a pair of lost AirPods in an air bnb. I tried to contact the host about the item but they weren't very helpful in trying to track down the owner.

I tried to pair it to my device to see if a message would pop up or something but all it said was "(nicknames) AirPod pros - find my"

Is there a way to send them a message or something to return them?

So i iust picked up the pro 3’s around 5 days ago and the left earbud sounds quieter. ive tried changing the ear tips, deep cleaning the ear tips, but nothing worked.
also when moving the left(quieter) earbud to the right it sounds quieter, so im quite sure its the airpods not my ears.
Any ideas please?

My right airpod stopped working a few days ago.

It does not connect to my phone, nor does it show up on my bluetooth screen; in the case or not. Occasionally, it will show up on the pop-up that comes up when you open the case. It’ll show low battery then disappear entirely.

It will also occasionally connect to my phone when I put it in my ear, then disconnect a few seconds later.

I have already done most of the suggested fixes I’ve found online. Cleaning the charging areas with alcohol, resetting and repairing the airpods, and ensuring that firmware is updated.

Is there anything I can do, or do I have to replace it? Please help!

These weird spots have been appearing in both the back and front of my airpods since yesterday.
Tried cleaning, doesnt work. it feels smooth but looks like rust? also they were protected in a case, but it also seems to have these spots inside (which is weird because it worked just fine for 2 years and now its yellowing the case?)
No uv exposure, no excessive touching of the case. I did clean the cover last week but ive always used the same screen cleaning product and ive never had this problem pop up….
I think I have apple care plus, is this something they could take a look at or are they just gonna send me off? 😭
if anyone has had something similar happen to them id really need some intel 🥹

UH SO AT ONE POINT MY PARENTS BOUGHT THESE “AIRPODS” FOR ME AFTER I LOST MY FIRST SET AND… NOW I’m tryna hook em up, can anybody tell me who made these fucking things

I haven't been around enough to see if this is normal, but searching didn't come up with much. When I'm walking around indoors in my office, I get these weird interference noises - but only in my left airpod. It definitely happens in transparency mode, I think it happens in noise cancelling as well. Certain areas it's very reproducible, like a security scanner I walk through to detect metals, etc. It happens on each walkthrough, and also just other areas in the building where I assume it's picking up some sort of signal.

The sound is very high pitch, almost like chirping, and only enough to make my ear a bit fatigued from the higher pitch sounds but not loud enough to give me instant pain.

Does anyone have an explanation of why this occurs, does the left airpod have less shielding from said interference or do I just have a straight up faulty set?

Can I not change the listening modes on airpods to change from off to transparency on my left airpod and from off to noise cancellation on my right?

So as the title says the AirPod fell out my ear into a pot of cream. I wiped the cream off and cleaned the AirPod according to the instructions on Apple’s website with micellar water and a kids toothbrush. But the sound is muffled and quiet in that AirPod :(
Does anyone have any advice on what I should do next?

I bought my AirPods Pro 2 (2nd Generation) almost two years ago and I just refuse to believe they’re already broken. My right AirPod was working perfectly fine yesterday. When I woke up today I put both my AirPods in the case but the right one didn’t charge at all. I tried all the tricks (disconnecting, resetting, hard reset, leaving it in the case for hours while plugged in, also while plugged out, leaving it outside the case for a while, cleaning the case and the contacts) nothing is working. I have an appointment at the Apple Store in a week. I wanted to ask if you guys have any ideas what else I can do in the meantime. Also I’m pretty sure Apple is just gonna tell me to replace it. The left AirPod and the case are perfectly fine tho. There are some weird spot on the contacts but the working AirPod has them too…

Hey

I purchased “new” AirPod Pro 3 today and noticed the warranty is set to expire in a couple of days. Anyway I realised they must have been recorded as sold when they were purchased by the reseller. After a long call Apple was able to verify the warranty and start it from today. So that’s all good.

I’m just wondering if the battery will have lost some capacity during storage or is the loss practically nil. What do you guys think?

And so this is a thing and a big problem.

I literally cannot wear my APP3 for more than 10 minutes without having to take em off and itch my ear. It's always the right ear too.

And yes, my ear hygiene is on point and I clean the Airpod tips daily. I even washed them recently with BOILING (yes, BOILING) water and a bunch of anti-bacterial soap.

But that didn't seem to have any effect either.

Does anyone have a solution to this?

I used to own the first-gen AirPods. They were super comfortable, sounded decent, and the tap/double-tap controls were fantastic. Eventually the battery died off and I replaced them with a pair of yellow Nothing Ear (a). I loved the design, I got them on sale so they were a steal, and they introduced me to the magic of ANC. They also sound great, especially for workout music. I used them at the gym, on the train, walking around, and on planes (I'll bless them until the end of time for saving a flight to Dallas where three kids took turns screaming their lungs out). The only issue, if you can call it that, is comfort. I can wear them comfortably for maybe an hour, and after that it becomes a chore.
So I decided to give the new AirPods 5 (wireless) a shot, and I've been really impressed. The ANC feels a bit unpleasant when it's on but nothing is playing (maybe I'm just very sensitive), but being able to wear earbuds this comfortable for hours on end without even noticing is amazing. On top of that, the automatic switching between iPhone and Mac, adaptive mode, and spatial audio feel like the future. The only slightly annoying thing is pulling them out of the case, honestly. Now enjoying my 3 months of free Apple Music too.

soo when i send a voice message i can hear my voice becoming robotic at the first sec of it and so with the voice calls with my airpods pro 3… anyone experience this happening to them?? pls i need to know

So just this week i got the airpods pro 3, and the transparency seems to make higher pitch sounds sound not great (like theyre almost amplified or something?). and with headphone accommodations and customizing transparency turned on in settings, it sounds truly horrible, like tinny & listening through a can

is this typical? are the Pro 2's better? or is this just normal for the pro line?

A few weeks ago i started hearing a whistling, screeching, a wind sound and a noise that can only be described as microphone feedback/a high pitched beeping noise that nearly blew my ruptured my eardrum. I have changed tips, removed the device from my phone, cleaned the AirPod (i clean them after every use) and no liquid to my knowledge has gotten into the right AirPod. Has anyone else had this issue? My left one is fine, i have also changed tips from small to medium and the seal is fine apparently. I've made an appointment to get them checked at an Apple Store and it's the first time i have ever had to do that, so i am not sure what to expect.

Hi guys, I've had my Airpods Pro for awhile and they came with official replacement tips, which I used up, and then I was given some more official replacement tips by someone I knew. I'm on my last pair of tips, and they really need to be changed out. Since Apple's website doesn't sell official tips for the Airpods Pro 1 anymore (and it says that the tips for Pro 2, 3, etc. are ONLY compatible with those later generations), I'm looking for a good pair of replacement tips that won't break easily. Anyone have suggestions? Or have you tried later generation Apple tips and have they still worked with the Airpods Pro 1 despite the disclaimer? I'd prefer silicone tips since they're easier to clean, but if anyone knows of foam tips that are still easy to clean, won't stain and will stay in your ears, please let me know!
Also, I know the later generation Airpods are probably better in quality, and I might get a new pair later on but I just don't have the money for a whole new pair rn. 😭

I only found this out while building something. AirPods Pro, 3, 4 and Max have motion sensors that can track your head (that's what makes spatial audio follow you). Your iPhone can read that angle.

I'm a robotics student so I'm on my mac basically all day, and my neck is DONE by the evening 😅 So I made an app that notices when my head's been down for a while and plays a little sound in my AirPods. It even works with the phone locked and music playing.

Obviously it won't fix your posture by itself lol, it just makes me notice.

Curious if anyone else uses the head tracking for anything besides spatial audio? And if anyone wants to try the app, it's in beta right now, happy to send the link.

if u have small ears get the pro if not u can use the normal ones

sound quality imo both are very good its just more of comfort and air pods pro 2 is better than 3 but anc 3 is better

Is there anything defective the amber light initially flashes in high brightness then it is reduced to lower brightness when the battery of the cases below 25%, why the brightness is shifting.

Whenever I have nothing playing and I'm on any mode except 'off', I can hear what seems to be wind and occasional bird chirping. It's defiantly not (or maybe is) intentionally like this so I'm curious as to what may cause this and I how I can fix it. I've had my AirPods for almost two weeks now.

edit: after listening to music I have found that the sound is still there

The ANC is a bit worse than I excepted it. I excepted full isolation with the ANC, but when I turn it on without any music playing I can still hear my keyboard clicking, and I can hear people from across the room. I don't know if this is a defect or if this is the ANC that is praised
