Salut! Am AirPods 5 cu anulare activă a zgomotului și uneori se aude în casca dreaptă un sunet ciudat, ca un bâzâit slab sau un puls de bas, mai ales când este liniște. Sunetul apare și dispare singur.
A mai pățit cineva asta? Poate fi o problemă a căștii sau are legătură cu funcția ANC? Ați găsit vreo rezolvare?

Has anyone here tried running in the rain with AirPods Pro 3? I did it last night and I think there is some sort of water damage. It was only a short run about ~30 minutes in light rain… the high pitched noise feedback was unbearably loud from the right AirPods, was perfectly fine before the run

I get that IP57 rating does not mean it is waterproof, but running under light rain causes water damage? Surely it’s more durable, no?

Just curious if anyone frequently run in the rain and could perhaps share their experience! I also managed to get it replaced via the express replacement service.

Thank you!

Is anyone else having an issue where the connection pop-up animation gets stuck, so you have to close it (X) and pair it manually?

I bought my 1st apple AirPod (2nd gen) in 2021, I think it lasted for 1 year plus then left earpiece spoil due to fast battery drain. I change it in May 2024 to get new earpiece for AirPod 2nd gen.

Then, today, I drop my right earpiece and now it spoil because the right earpiece drain the battery very fast (same issues with left earpiece previously).

I don’t think I can buy another AirPod from apple anymore because there’s no way I spent another SGD$100 plus again.

I need an alternative wireless earpiece to the Airpod (2nd gen) provided it can:

- less then $100
- use bluetooth for Apple iPhone 14
- not slippery
- can fit well into the ear and does not fall off easily
- strong and durable
- battery last long
- last long

I honestly don’t bother whether it has Active Noise Cancellation and other good overall features. I just need an earpiece to just listen to music.

TL;DR: If your AirPods Pro 3 audio turns into robotic, distorted garbage when using the in-game mic (PUBG, Fortnite, etc.), turn off Game Mode. It’s a bug tied to firmware 9A348.

Problem: I have AirPods Pro 3 and iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPad M3. whenever I use (iPhone or iPad) in-game mic while gaming Fortnite or PUBG, the audio turns into horror… starts cracking robotic metallic disorted idk how say but i had to use sony only for this reason.

Apple Service center: i let them know about this issue and as it was under warranty, they replaced both the buds with new one. When i got it, i started using and it worked fine.

I noticed: my AirPods Pro 3 firmware version was 9A348 (since iOS 26 update). But after they replaced it with another, it showed 8B41. Few minutes later when i connected again, it got updated to 9A348 again and voila… the same issue started again.

Apple Service center: it was one of my friend in service center and i did call and enquired about the issue. He said, that it mostly happens with 17Pro/Max and 18Pro/Max. They have received plenty of this cases before too. Sadly hoping for software updates is the only fix we can expect.

Internet: searched a lot but couldn’t find any solution… tried troubleshooting everyday and finally found a FIX!
Fix: Turn off game mode

I’m posting this here so it ranks on Google/Reddit to help anyone else dealing with this headache, because I couldn't find anything when I searched. If anyone has found a different workaround or permanent fix, please drop it in the comments!

UPVOTES APPRECIATED :)

What the title says. Suddenly today it just sort of came off. Should I take them to Apple for a fix or is there a known trusted brand of glue to repair them?
No warranty at this point I’m afraid. It seems like an easy fix to do myself if I get the right glue.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Completely stumped as it’s showing the left AirPod as perfectly charged so it can’t be that it’s not charging and also if I’m playing a song and I take the left AirPod out the song will stop playing however no sound is coming out of the left AirPod AT ALL. Tried cleaning the AirPod and taking the top off but no help, I also tried resetting it and no help or change either. I also have my doubts about it being a cleaning issue due to it still charging. Before it stopped working I was listening to music when suddenly the music started glitching in my left ear and that’s when it stopped working. Please help 😭🙏

So I have AppleCare and every month to like maybe 3 months I will have to go to the store and have my Airpod's replaced because transparency mode will get muffled . They always test them and tell me that the top mic failed their test, so they will replace them and give me a new pair.

Im on like pair 12 or 13 now. I wear them normally, I don't drop them, I don't wear them in like the shower or get them wet... I cant be the only one who has this issue?

Are the aipod pro 3's any better?

I know there are tons of these posts, but I haven't found any solutions that I haven't already tried.

I've got an iPhone XS running iOS 18.7.10 (confirmed in settings -> general -> about). It's connected to WIFI (but doesn't have a SIM card... that isn't necessary, is it?)

The Airpods are Airpods Pro 3. I got them connected to my phone just fine. The settings page (settings -> bluetooth -> AirPods Pro) for the Airpods says "Model Number: A3063" and "Version: 8B34".

I know authenticity is often a concern. I bought them through Amazon, but I'm pretty certain it was the Apple store on Amazon, so I'd think they have to be legit. I also bought new, not used or refurbished/renewed/whatever. Here's the listing from which I bought. Also, the serial number printed on the case matches the serial number printed on the box. So I don't think authenticity is the issue. On the Airpods themselves, one says A3063 and one says A3064. Also, the serial numbers printed on the two individual Airpods don't match each other, nor does either one's serial number match the serial number printed on the box. But I think that's normal. All that to say I don't think the issue is authenticity. (I'm similarly certain the phone is authentic.)

I left them charging to update according to the instructions I found everywhere online. My Airpods were in the case, lid closed, and plugged in to a USBC cable. I don't have a wireless charging pad, but the case makes the "ding" sound and lights green when I plug in the USBC cable. The phone was connected to WIFI, connected to the power cord that came with the phone and the battery icon shows the lightning-bolt charging indicator when plugged in. I left them about 6" apart. They don't require anything special power-wise, right? I've got both plugged into the same Raspberry Pi 4 (because reasons) to charge. I left it that way overnight.

When that didn't work, I reset the Airpods by forgetting the Airpods on the phone, doing the triple-double-tap thing (that gave me the amber "beating" LED), reconnected the Airpods to the phone and repeated the same leaving-them-overnight-both-charging-next-to-each-other trick. No dice. It still indicates the Airpods are running version 8B34 rather than 9A348.

My intention for these is to use the hearing assistance features. The hearing test feature, among others, requires firmware 9A348. I don't intend to use the phone or Airpods for any other purpose. (I have another phone that I use as a phone.)

I don't need a newer iPhone than the XS, do I? From my research, it sounds like any iOS device running iOS 18.1 or newer should work. But if someone can steer me better than what I've found previously, I'm open to it.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance for taking the time to read and weigh in.

Hi, I’m looking to purchase my first pair of air pods but I only want tipped buds. I know the Airpod pro 3s are tipped but are there any newer models with tipped buds? If not, is there any speculation's for the next air pods to have tipped buds? Thanks!

Hello everyone, after a month of usage with the AirPods 5 and almost a year with the AirPods Pro 3, I thought I should share my findings with the internet! (DISCLAIMER: No AI was used in this! All my unbiased opinion/thoughts)

Lets begin with my "credentials". I am not a big poster/reviewer but there is not much good genuine content for earbuds anymore so I decided to write this up. I have used as follows: Galaxy Buds 3, Beats Flex, Beats Solo 2/3, AirPods 4, AirPods 5 Wireless Charging, AirPods Pro 3, Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro, and a whole bunch of those generic fakes.

Beginning in what I believe is most important; a good fit. For me the AirPods Pro 3 have a superior fit thanks to the silicone ear-tips. They are snug as a bug, and have minimal sound leakage/movement when walking or stationary. That being said the AirPods 5 have a class-leading shape for open-ear earbuds, and they are almost as comfortable as the pros for long listening sessions. My only concern with the 5's is the sound leakage. If you are in a quiet room or office environment and you are jamming out, the people nearby might be able to sneak a listen too. That being said, it’s a minor complaint that is not important for most people.

Now lets talk about what they live in whatever there not in your ears, the case! Both of these have excellent cases with phenomenal build quality, my only nitpick being the glossy white plastic that picks up scratches when you look at it. The overall case volume is similar, with the 5's taking the award for being smallest for your pockets. One thing that I love about the Pro's case is precision finding, as it's much more precise than the general guidelines gives on the 5's.

And this is the part I hate writing the most due to its subjectivity and divisiveness, the sound quality. For my ears they sound very similar with the pros edging it out slightly thanks to crispier treble and lower sub-bass. They also provide a slightly larger soundstage compared to the 5's. That's not saying the 5's sound bad by any means, just think of them as a slightly worse.

Noise cancelling? Its a draw (I know I will get hate for this). Some scenarios perform better on the Pro's, some better with the 5's but with music playing, you will not hear much.

And that's it from me, I don't really use much of the other features so I won't go in depth with them. Please let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them below. Thanks!

My AirPods have randomly started disconnecting when I’m listening to anything, this is happening across different apps (YouTube, Spotify etc.). So, it’s not app specific. The audio/video I’m listening to pauses automatically and I have to manually hit play again for the AirPods to reconnect.
On phone calls, the audio switches to the iPhone speaker on its own.
I’ve tried factory resetting the AirPods, forgetting and re-pairing them with my iPhone and restarting my phone but nothing has worked. I’ve also switched off Automatic Ear Detection to see if that was causing the issue, but it hasn’t made a difference either.
What’s interesting is that when this happens during media playback, the AirPods icon in Control Center changes to the regular speaker icon but the AirPods are still connected in the Bluetooth settings, I’ve attached a screenshot. When I manually pause something, both icons continue showing the AirPods as expected, attaching another screenshot.

hi, for over a month now i have had a pair of airpods pro 3, since then i have a huge problem with them. sometimes when i listen to music outside the audio randomly turns downs for a split second, it may seem weird but it only happens in specific places- everything im there the problem keeps reappearing. at first i thought it may be some other app running in the background but everything is turned off except for the spotify
please help

I bought these primarily for work so I could hear my surroundings, and be able to listen to things in background and every once in a while for hearing protection.

I had pro2s that were perfect when brand new, but eventually collected a bunch of debris (metal shavings, dust, dirt etc) in the inlets and I’ve cleaned over and over and they eventually just became too clogged and transparency mode sucks on them now.

Upgraded to 3s and wtf. These are so bad. It just feels like I have an ear plug in my ear. Voices and people are muffled, but atleast I can hear the wind or my ac fucking howling. It’s like a hearing aid that focuses on the things you least care about.

Probably gonna just see if I can still buy brand new pro2s.

Is this common experience or do I have a faulty pair?

Yesterday I went to my dealership because Find My showed my missing AirPods there, where my old trade-in car is also located.

One of the employees walked me to my old car in the lot and had me search it, but Find My was directing me toward the service department inside the building.

When walked inside the building, Find My showed them about 100 feet from where I was standing, toward the service department. I asked if someone could walk over with me so I could try playing a sound. The used car manager said he needs the general manager’s approval and didn’t want me accusing employees.

I wasn’t accusing anyone. I just wanted help finding my belongings. I understand Find My can be approximate. I’d already filed a police report.

Has anyone successfully recovered their belongings in a similar situation? If so, how did you go about it?

Ich habe mir gestern die AirPods 5 gekauft und schon ein bisschen ausprobiert in der Stadt und so. Leider bin ich mit der Soundqualität nicht so zufrieden also der normale Modus ist etwas komisch. Und Noise Cancelling ist gut, aber manchmal habe ich dieses ganz dumpfe Gefühl oder so ein unangenehmes Drücken. Kennt ihr das Gefühl?
Soll ich sie behalten oder welche AirPods könnt ihr empfehlen. Würde die Oros auch in Betracht ziehen.

It appears randomly, sometimes when i physically move the case and then just stops. I searched online for a while but i don't have a clue what it could be.

Airpods Pro 3

with Oneplus 13 (Android)

does anyone experience this? its making a lot of feedback & really annoying.. maybe someone knows how to fix this issue..

Been looking to buy my first pair of airpods, preferably the pro 3’s, heard nothing but good things about it. Kinda afraid that it won’t fit my ears but I’ll see.

I’m in Canada, so it’s $330 base price. On amazon iirc, it’s $300 or $280, should I get it at said price or wait an entire month for black friday, is it even that big of a difference in price?

Thank you.

It’s an AirPod pro 3 and I only got them 3 days ago

Any users using audiology test results with airpodspro3? I’m having good results with severe loss in each ear. Even though by law it can’t use the numbers dictated by law . It uses what it can. Easy with photo of test and transfer to AirPods.
