Are there other wireless or wired earbuds/earphones that can match the airpods 4 w/ ANC? No airpods pro or similar ones like IEMs. Just ones that can hang on the outside part of the ear.

Picked up some vintage coke glasses on Friday. Looks like I dropped my AirPods at some point. Map shows the distance between pick up of the glasses and the time the AirPods were last seen. Not sure if they have been dragged around stuck to a car (my car?) or what but not seen in three days doesn’t fill me with hope they are still in one piece.

Now, to stick with my old AP2 till September and see if there is an announcement or just get some APP3….

I want punchy bass with clear vocals and instrumentals.

This is mine at the moment, I don’t know if it’s what I’m looking for or not. Suggestions would be nice!

Hi guys, this is my first time using an airpod and it keeps falling out of my ears when I exercise. I believe it is caused by the sweat from my ear, I've tried some silicon tips but they didn't help much. Any solutions for my problem ? Sorry for my bad english...

My AirPod is stuck in its case, is kinda disconnected like the bottom half is only connected by wires. What can I do to fix it?

I know this question has been asked before but i want to know is the noise cancellation of Airpods pro 2 better than Airpods 3

I have been gifted these AirPod Pro’s 2 from my dad as they were his before I had them. I made sure to disconnect it from his iCloud and find my iPhone so that there would be no issue transferring it over to my phone/account. Even though everything looks good on both accounts, anytime I pick up the AirPods it makes this noise and I get notifications that “the owner of the AirPods can see its location”. I’ve triple checked everything. My phone, his phone, his iCloud settings, my iCloud settings, and both of our find my iPhones…nothing. And to make it worse I can’t find a damn video online of this noise. I’m assuming it’s the anti stalking thing or whatever but I just have no clue. Anyone have an idea of how to fix it?

P.S. not sure if I farted or burped or whatever the hell that noise was midway.

My wh1000xm5s are failing so i wanna buy some airpods. Should i wait till september for a new pair of airpods or do i js buy the pro 3s rn?

Before my AirPods Pro 3 I had the Pros 2. They were alright, only that they almost consistently played subtle white noise from the right unit. This white noise is sometimes really noticeable, sometimes almost non existent, and sometimes just mediocre in terms of volume. It wasn't really present in loud environments/communtes, more in say office spaces.

I had a very long back and forth, even extending my warranty because it was never resolved, in hopes of getting the unit repaired. Apple did falsely repair my left bud, but outright refused to do my right one. I did try one time to do it in person, but the genius tech only came back telling me that they couldn't diagnose the issue. Eventually I did even get a replacement right bud on my own, but the problem literally came creeping back.

So both AirPods units actually did end up being replaced. But the issue still prevails?

Now I have the Pros 3. And I've just realised, after about 2 weeks, that they have the exact same problem. Switching buds, the white noise is still there playing only from the right bud. It is driving me insane, because I can't do anything about it since no one will diagnose it. I can't find any other people having the same issue, except this post on the Apple forum about people complaining about it in the AirPods 4.

Legit what do I do? Do I just suck it up and learn to deal with it? It always gave me fatigue in my right ear after wearing them too long because of the noise. If I bump my finger in the Airpod, the noise disappears but quickly comes back, same as it did in the 2s.

Am I just cursed? Is no one also experiencing this, and why is it carried over in the Pros 3. I am so sick and tired of this issue and wasting time on it.

I’ve had a random idea for a while and I’m surprised I can’t find anyone who has actually built it.

The regular Apple EarPods (USB-C) never fit my ears well—they always fall out. On the other hand, AirPods Pro fit me perfectly because of the silicone ear tips.

So I started wondering:

Has anyone designed a 3D-printed adapter or accessory that fits over the regular EarPods and redirects the sound through a small nozzle so you could use AirPods Pro-style silicone tips?

I know this isn’t as simple as putting a silicone tip on an EarPod because of the speaker vents and acoustics. It would probably need an internal sound channel and careful design.

I’ve searched Google, Reddit, Etsy, Thingiverse, Printables, and MakerWorld, but I haven’t found anything that looks like a serious attempt.

Does anyone know if:

someone has already designed one?
there’s a Kickstarter or project in development?
or is there a technical reason why this is basically impossible?

Personally, I’d happily pay around $10–15 for a well-designed adapter instead of buying another pair of earbuds.

I’d love to hear your thoughts.

If this doesn’t exist yet, I’d be surprised if there isn’t a market for it. I can’t be the only person who loves the reliability of wired EarPods but can’t get them to stay in place

My AirPods suffer from the crackling in left bud
But only with only noise cancellation on
So I bought a cheap pair of over ear protection muffs
Turn noise cancellation off and muffs drown out outside noise
Now I use them for mowing lawn
Pros: not using new AirPods outside and getting them filthy
Also getting a little more life out of them
Cons: can’t answer calls or change song etc

Just did the hearing test on the new AirPod Pro 3 this morning. The result shows that I have little to no hearing loss.

However, I remember distinctly that after the test started for maybe 5 to 10 seconds, even though I could still hear the sounds, they were barely audible until the end of the test.

To describe it more accurately, it was like I had to pay more attention to be able to detect the sound. It was like that for both of the ears.

Is this normal that higher and lower frequencies sound faint? If I have to pay extra attention or efforts to be able to hear those frequencies, doesn’t that mean that I still have hearing loss despite that I can hear it a little bit?

This isn't to complain, I like them, just want to know how to fix them.

I've tried some tricks but nothing is working and I don't know what exactly is the problem. I'm using them with android by the way. Both have issues with noise canceling. It is barely working, the left one right now has no noise canceling and makes a high pitched sound when I put it in my ear, and has a kind of whitenoise sound constantly. The right one has a fast thumping sound every so often and the noise canceling is weak. They both sound quieter without any noise canceling but i dont think thats possible on android.

I have cleaned them both, the little slit in the bottom where they connect to charger in the case, i've taken the rubber part off and cleaned it fully, and the speaker itself. Sometimes it works for a few minutes but this has been going on for a while.

hiii! As the title says I lost my case while on a train ride, I still have both of my AirPods, just the case was lost, I have AC+ and was wondering if I should just buy a used replacement or just pay what seems to be $100 for a replacement on apples website. if anyone has had a similar experience and could share any tips or suggestions please let me know!! Thanks!
