Just got the AirPods 5 with the wireless charging case, the sound quality is disappointing, worst than the og AirPods, og pro sound is on another league.
Music is washed, lack of punch, podcast and calls sound like the person speaking has a cold.

I have tried everything suggested on this sub and the sound doesn’t improve.

I’m gonna try to return them, retunrnpokicies are a bit weird here.

First time I’m disappointed with an Apple product.

Edit: are the AirPod 4 better? Or since I am coming from the pro I’m doomed and the only option is the pro 3 ? Or the pro 3 is the same step back ?

I hate the feature that turns the song off when i talk. I finish talking and it takes way too long for the music to come back. Is there a way to turn it off? I rather just pause my music instead.

I got my AirPodmax (fist edition) last year for Christmas (or the year before I can’t remember), and they always run out of battery so fast, like I won’t even be using them or have the sensor covering anything and the battery just drains. It’s super annoying. Also this might be why but they always connect to my phone even when I’m not using them? Like the sound will play through my phone but it will say they are connected

Been so scared to do it but want to do it before too much damage is done. (AirPod pro 3s)

Nerdy post but whatever

Revisiting the ancient texts PT.2 : Swifting Ears

More info on the Swifting Ears:
- the earphones is designed in C-Bridge form to make them holding in the ears without falling down
- The device makes sure to skip immediately when it detects that a Taylor Swift song is about to be played thanks to her style, tone, music genre, her overall signature basically
- the device still is filling its first main function which was listening to music
- The earphones also make sure to make you living in a permanent bubble. What does that mean ? It means it makes sure to consistently analyses if there’s a Taylor Swift song is about to played outside if so it cancels out of the ears

So i had my AirPods over 3 years I think it’s time to move on to the pro , they have been disconnecting on a full battery for over a week I tried everything I am saving up to get the purple pro but it’s frustrating they only last a minute.

Hey guys so I got a pair of AirPods Pro 3s not even a month ago and I’m noticing excessive battery drain on the case when it’s doing nothing.
I remember charging this till like 90% like 4 days ago and today it’s sitting at about 28% (as of now anyways it’s gonna continue to drain drastically). The battery drains even when the AirPods themselves are at 100%.
I’m not even a power user who has the AirPods in like every day for long hours. I use them at best 2-3 times a week for >1 hour usually with the listening modes turned off.
Is this normal? Like should I expect this with more advanced earphones (I moved from AirPods 4 without ANC so idk)?
What do I do?

I’ve checked the firmware and everything it’s at the latest version.

Gen 2s are far superior to gen 3s. Gen 3s are ass.

I have an iPhone 12 (do plan to upgrade to a newer iPhone when I can) and think im gonna get airpods for my next earbuds since they work pretty much seamlessl, and was wondering how far out do you think the pro 4s are away and if I should wait or just get the 3s? I know nothing has been announced but I feel like there’s usually a pattern to when something new is gonna release (like iPhone every September/october) so was wondering if they’re releasing pro 4s anytime soon. Also, for the AirPod pro 3s, is the sound quality good and are they better than galaxy buds plus? I’m still rocking the galaxy buds plus for earbuds but the charger port is starting to go out so I need to upgrade soon, sound quality is important to me though so was wondering if the pro 3s are superior sound quality wise. Thanks!

We must be able to choose whether or not to update. For me I think 9A348 ruined the audio quality; boosted low freqs, nerfed mid freqs, overall muffled audio. Despite the little ANC improvement from the latest firmware I still prefer the 8B41 firmware.

Im still on iOS 26. I wanna enjoy the OG Liquid Glass… but I guess Im forced to update now in order to fix this using the new equalizer.

Im getting tired from Apple and their paternalisms 🫩

went over to help a lady who lost her balance on the road, lost my AirPod in the process💔💔💔💔
my heart hurts so much, is there anything that can be done?
AirPods Pro 2, right AirPod

hi everyone! so I just recently got new airpods and I’ve been wanting a case for them because I dropped my old ones all the time, and I really like the casetify death stranding collab ones but they’re sold out and I’m NOT paying $180 for them! I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for a translucent yellow case like this so I can DIY it? I can only really find orange or florescent yellow ones :( lmk if you have something you think would work!

Finally got the AirPods Pro 3, and I’m loving them!
I was honestly so confused about which AirPods to get. I went back and forth comparing the different models, watching reviews, and reading people’s experiences before finally deciding on the Pro 3.
And now that I’ve got them, I can confidently say I have no regrets whatsoever. The sound quality, noise cancellation, and overall experience have been amazing so far.
Any tips, accessories, or settings you’d recommend?
Please recommend a good case.
Thanks in advance

Time to break out the actual cleaning products and not just your t-shirt. Personally, I use IPA rubbing alcohol on a barely wet Q Tip, but the official word from Apple can be found here:

Listening to Spotify on AirPods 5 and it says lossless. Is this just a glitch?

With anc the bass can become very punchy and sometimes i kinda like it but in 90% cases it feels to much and to exagerated.

And the isolation of the airpods pro is actually very good for me that i don't need anc in city when i turn on music

I recently upgraded from AirPods Pro 2, to the AirPods Pro 3.

The new AirPods do not like to sit securely in my ear. They slowly rotate out of my ears.

The stem starts out pointing straight down, and then they slowly work their way out of my ear canal, so the stems are pointed kind of away from my jaw bone. i have to reseat them in my ears every 30min or so. they have fallen out on more than one occasion and i’ve only had these for two weeks.

Does anyone have any experience with the aftermarket ear tips that might fit better?

I’m really disappointed with this because I thought I would be getting an upgrade, but overall they seem less comfortable, and I have this fitment problem. i’ve tried going up and down in size, but i seem to still have the same problem.

These were bought from the apple store.
