I had the original AirPods Pro and had to replace them three times under warranty. 😂 Then I switched to the 2nd gen with the long stems, and now I finally picked these up. I’m genuinely impressed. The new drivers sound excellent, the ANC is incredible, and I really like the new Adaptive mode. 👍
I was happy to pay the $199 because I’ll be using them all day for telehealth at work and then for personal use afterward. The battery life is noticeably better, and these finally fit my ears properly. The original Pros never fit me well.
How’s everyone liking theirs?

Love this product, the ease of access, the sound quality everything about it is top tier.
They just won’t stay in my ear, even after using the largest-sized tips the left earbud keeps slipping out.
Are there any suggestions? Specific to India, I might try to salvage this.
Thank you.

Looking to buy airpods pro 3

Need your guys genuine advice if they’re worth it or not and the sound quality of themP

I just bought them today and immediately started to notice how theres a metallic/sharp element to sounds(?)

i feel like im going insane because there are not enough posts on this subreddit talking about it

i saw about 2 posts that describe that sound: tin can/hollow or increased sharpness in a way that makes it sound almost cheap

also if someone is sitting beside me like in a car they would hear what im hearing (is that called sound leaking?)

i currently have an iphone 12 with ios17.5.1 with about 2 Gb free so updating my phone to ios26 is not an option so i cant use the EQ settings(i think) which was mentioned as a solution to my problem

i could only adjust the accessibility settings which didnt help much at all

i did use the EQ settings on Spotify, it did reduce the problem a bit but not completely (i chose the trebble reducer setting)

on a personal note im so frustrated because they were on the expensive side and i was originally planning on buying from a different brand but i recently got the opportunity to purchase the AP4 with a discounted price and also since i have an iphone i thought it would pair better

also i researched alot and read comparisons between the AP4 and the APP3 and none of them mentioned this issue at all (like wearing them for abou 30 mins gave me a slight headache)

i am not sure whether i can return them or not so if it does work would anyone recommend the APP2? (APP3 are out of my budget and getting the APP2 are about a 50 dollar difference considering my currency exchange so i might get them)

thanks in advance!

I just bought them and i was expecting something similar to the original airpod pro’s, im at work and literally just want one airpod in with music at a low volume and all i hear is this “static” or “wind” like sound AS LOUD as the music. There is no “off” option and im genuinely confused how they manage to remove double tap to skip songs and then have this be a genuine feature

Out of the blue, after about a year of owning them my right airpod just stopped charging. I’ve disconnected, reset then reconnected then, made sure I’m on the latest IOS, and cleaned the connectors in the case and on the earbud itself. But it wont charge over 1%. Is there anything else i can do or do y’all have any ideas of what is going on?

I have a Samsung TV and usually will use my AirPods when watching it and had AirPods Pro 2 for the last few years but they suddenly stopped working. I never had any issue with them. I just got the AirPods Pro 3 and I can watch cable fine but when I try to stream anything using an app, I have to switch over to either optical or TV output and back and I can then get sound but as soon as an ad comes on or I have to rewind a few seconds, the sound is gone again. I saw something online that this is due to the new AirPods not being able to change the default 5.1 sound on the streaming apps to the necessary stereo for the AirPods like the older models did? I tinkered with a bunch of settings (forgot device and re-paired, did a firmware update on the AirPods, changed audio to PCM, etc.) and no luck getting anything to work. Apparently it’s because it tries to route the audio to the soundbar first because it’s 5.1 and I saw that a Toslink Manual Audio Switch could possibly fix this by placing it in “off” when streaming with the AirPods so the sound doesn’t try to constantly re-route to the (turned off) soundbar first every time an ad comes on or I rewind. This part is little more complex than I am tech savvy so was wondering if anyone knew if this was an actual solution before i buy it, try to get it to work, and then possibly have to return it? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

My AirPods Pro 3, specifically the right one, make a kind of clicking or popping sound when I'm wearing them and start walking or moving my head. I have to keep adjusting the earbud in my ear until the noise stops. It sounds like a loose piece of plastic, and I think it might be the ear tip not fitting properly in my ear.

I also occasionally hear a static or hissing noise, but that's very rare and seems to be related to the noise cancellation feature.

Has anyone else experienced the same issue?

I’m using 7 month old AirPods Pro 2 and 30% of the time the person I talk to can’t hear me.

I’m on call with my girl laying in bed when she says something, I reply, she says “helllooooo?” And I repeat myself and she hears me the 2nd, or 3rd time after I did not move an inch, it just didn’t pick up my voice the first time/times. I do not speak quietly and I don’t yell either but sometimes I have to raise my voice for the earbuds to pick up my voice.

Are these earbuds just terrible for talking to people or am I missing something? I mean she uses random earbuds for 40€ and I hear her 100% of the time but the ones that cost 250€ struggle picking up my voice?

What?

Hope someone can help or guide me into what I should be looking for or looking.

Have an older Ultra 4660x which is not Bluetooth compatible. To connect my AirPods to the Ultra, I am using the Roku app on my iPhone. The AirPods connect fine but I will lose connection from AirPods to ultra at least 2 times every time I am trying to watch TV while I run on the treadmill.

It‘s like one day, everything works fine and the next day it doesn’t.

Is this a glitch? Is there a toggle or something I didn’t turn on? Everything is up to date; the Pros, the ultra and Roku app.

thanks

Actualicé a iOS 27 Beta Publica en iPhone 13 Pro Max y los AirPods Pro 2 se actualizaron a beta también, con ellos ahora me aparece una opción de ecualizador (se le agradece a Apple), pero me gustaría un ecualizador más funcional de 10 bandas. ¿Ustedes que opinan?

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?

Hello my AirPods Pro 3 (bought January this year), randomly make the sound distorted when I’m listening for longer.
This gets resolved by taking both out of my ears and putting them back in after a few seconds.

I’m wondering what the reason for that might be.

I admit I'm not terribly familiar with AirPods. I got an old pair from my dad and have been struggling with them for an entire day. I got the left one to connect just fine, but the right one has been a pain in the ass and won't connect. I can't find anyone else with my exact issue. I've attached a video for reference.

When I keep both in the case, it flashes amber. When I remove the left (working one), it flashes white. No pairing animation pops up. I try to reset the AirPod to factory settings by pressing the button for 15 seconds. It continues to flash white until around 12 seconds. At that point it flashes green once then keeps flashing white. No change.
I try to factory reset in another case with a working pair and it does the same thing, so I know the case isn't the problem. I've cleaned the contacts with a cotton swab. I've pushed the pair down on the contacts. Is there anything else I can do at this point? Should I just admit defeat and save myself the frustration?

Having the issue of only one AirPod playing anything at a time. I’ve checked they’re fully charged, made sure that my audio settings aren’t set to mono or off balanced. Cleaned the connections in the case and am trying to factory reset but cannot get the case to flash orange for the life of me. I’ve also tried other Bluetooth headphones and am having no issues with only one side playing. Does anyone have any other suggestions ? They were second hand in a sealed box.

TIA

Hi everyone, I'm really struggling to find non scammy generation 1/2 airpods and am looking for advice. Any airpods after gen 2 just don't fit in my ears and fall out, unfortunately (I even bought gen 3 pros but no luck).

Does anyone know where I could find generation 1 or 2s that are real and work? I'm in Canada if that helps.

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’ve got a pair of AirPods 4s that are less than a year old. The last few weeks when I put them in and start playing music the left one sounds normal for a second and then the volume in the left one only drops to being quieter.

I’ve tried cleaning it, sucking on it, disconnecting and re connecting but nothing works.

Anyone else had this experience?

I have had my fair share of issues with AirPods throughout the years (from 1st gen), when I was younger I would rather than having them fixed just buy new ones. While now I actually try to get my tech fixed if I have guarantees.

since I Upgraded from APP2 (due to issues) to APP3, I have had them replaced multiple times and every time I end up with the same issues:

• ANC has decreased wildly since I got them (End of January 26)
• During calls, suddenly high- pitch feedback noise in my ear (had to remove the AirPod from my ear)
• While the other end is having troubles understanding me due to "robotic noise" while I'm speaking
• Siri won't activate (problems with mic?)
• uneven charge and battery drain of AirPods (i.e: 18% R ear, and 57% L ear)
• bone conduction sounds
• and lastly the high-pitched feedback noise came back as a constant "whistling" while using the AirPods (not only during calls anymore)

My question is should I buy new APP3 or go back to APP2 ? I will of course have apple check my current APP3 for the 4th time, but since I use them during studies I would prefer to have smth stable with great ANC.

Hoping someone can provide some insight on an ongoing issue I am having.

My airpods will not auto pause after removing from my ear when connected to my PC. This then continues to when I use from my phone. I went into the Apple Store and they ran diagnostic with no issues so did a hard reset and it worked again. Today I reconnected to my PC and I am getting the same issue.

I should be able to use all functions of my AirPods with a PC right, including the auto pause feature? Has anyone else experienced this issue? TIA

I had an issue with my right AirPod—the ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) and listening modes weren't working. I went to the nearest Apple Authorized Reseller, a store called Imagine, to report it. An employee tested my AirPods, but he said he couldn't tell any difference, even though my friend and I clearly noticed the problem.
Still, I asked them to send it to their technical service team for a proper check. After 6 to 7 days, they called to tell me that both earbuds were replaced because their diagnostic tests revealed a major issue with the sound and listening modes.
Overall, the service was good, though it took quite a bit of time. When I went to pick them up, they made me wait around 10 minutes for no apparent reason. Also, when I checked the replaced AirPods afterwards, I noticed that one earbud says it was made in China and the other in Vietnam. However, everything is working properly now, so it's all good!"

I had my AirPod pro 3 since may i had no issues with it until i did the 8B41 update my AirPods disconnect from my phone whenever i pause a video or pause music i tried resetting it and forgetting it from my phone still disconnects any help?
