2024-02-03 Thread Jessica Moss
I have the AirPods second gen’s as well, )not the pro’s) and have noticed that 
sometimes the widget will display the cases battery life on my phone, and 
sometimes it won’t.

Hi!
The widget on the Iphone should tell you about the case too.
It does on my Iphone 15 Pro max with iOS 17.4 beta.
But I have the AirPods Pro 2nd gen so it may be a difference in how things show 
up.

Re: AirPods max

2022-05-03 Thread Phil Halton
Hi Joseph, I’m not sure about the USB-C to lightning cable, actually I don’t 
think it will do the job. I found out about the bi directional audio cable by 
looking through the AirPods Max literature and Apple support. Otherwise I never 
would’ve known about it. A Anders, I guess they hurt my ears is the reason why 
I don’t like wearing phones they seem to press on my earlobes and just the 
feeling of having a compression on my head bothers me over the long term. 
Although, I’m willing to give it a shot and see if I can use them long-term 
because in my environment a noise canceling headphones may come in handy during 
the summer months if you know what I mean.  Anyway the audio cable will help me 
plug-in to my guitar amplifier and listen to my playing without any external 
sound. Plus the tinniness of the little hand sized amplifier going through a 
nice set of your phones will probably make it much more interesting that’s why 
I want the audio cable. I’m hoping it works well and I assume it will.

2022-05-03 Thread Anders Holmberg
Hi!
Well if you don’t like wearing headphones then I really understand why you 
don’t like wearing them to long.
I admit that they are quite heavy and if I  was made of money I would rather 
buy the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95.
The cable is pretty steep for a cable.
I have it and its a thin long cable which I never would have bought if I hadn’t 
got some Christmas money for them.
Just curious?
Why don’t you like headphones?
Bless!

Re: AirPods max

2022-05-03 Thread Joseph Hudson
Hi Phil, that is awesome. I didn’t know they made it lightning to 3.5 mm a 
doctor. This is quite interesting. I will definitely have to look into this. 
Especially if I get something that doesn’t take a USB-C to lightning adapter. 
Is that the only cable I have them or I would like to look and see if I could 
make them connect to my android phone. As my android phone is a USB-C. And it’s 
not worth trying to pair them via Bluetooth. I should definitely try that.

 Interesting question. This is just a guess, because of course there is an 
 element of subjectivity here, e.g. your preferred volume level, the noise

 colleagues are speaking, etc. But I wouldn’t think you would have to 
 increase it by more than a level or two.  Honestly, I’m always amazed by 
 how well the noise cancellation on the Airpods does work, given that they 
 are in the ear headphones.  But if you get them, do take the time to fit

Unfortunately I don’t know an AirPods Pro owner.

I’m doing my best in getting detailed user experiences to shape my opinion 
about it. It works with me most of the time as long as I make sure that I’m 
specific about features I want and find enough resources that are not biased to 
assess the quality.

Hope me good luck with it.

 My use case for it is to hear whatever podcast/videos while being in

 need to increase to be able to hear either Voiceover or a podcast playing

Hi, Muhammad,

I’m not a fan of high base either.  I also completely understand you wanting to 
make sure you’ll use them.  Do you know anyone who has a pair?  Perhaps they 
could let you listen to theirs?  I often find that’s the best way to evaluate 
things like headphones, where personal preference plays such an important role.

Re: AirPods Pro from Voiceover user prospective

2021-10-14 Thread Muhammad Fayed
Yes, you’re right.

I would ask this question also to anyone who has AirPods Pro and try to extract 
as much info as I can. 

According to me, I prefer the quiet areas and low levels of volume. I actually 
don’t like high levels of base in whatever I hear. They do make me headache 
during 5 or 10 minutes.

I do ask a lot about it since I want to make sure that I will use it and not 
sell it a day or two after getting it. I want to make sure that its technology 
is mature enough to rely on in my case.

Just hope I could find a good solution as near as possible since it will change 
many decisions in my life and work environment.

Thank you so much for your replies. They were useful to me.

 Hi,
 
 There are two main modes with the AirPod Pro.  Noise Cancellation and 
 Transparency.  In Transparency, you are able to hear outside sounds via 
 the built-in mic.  These sounds can also be amplified if needed within the 
 Accessibility settings of your iPhone.  The Noise Cancellation mode does 
 quite well, although being that they are not an “Over the Ear” headset, 
 they will not perform as well as that kind of headset.  I have primarily 
 used them in Transparency mode myself as I’ve mostly needed to be 
 cognizant of other sounds when using the AirPod Pros.  I’m not sure that I 
 could give you an accurate example when using them in Noise Cancellation

Re: AirPods Pro from Voiceover user prospective

2021-10-14 Thread Muhammad Fayed
Thank you so much for your replies. 

My use case for it is to hear whatever podcast/videos while being in 
transportation and cancel the audio of colleagues near me talking in work time. 
I wonder how many audio levels, while noise cancellation is on, you need to 
increase to be able to hear either Voiceover or a podcast playing on the 
AirPods Pro?

Thank you so much, 

Regards,

Mohamed E. Fayed

I also like my AirPods Pro a lot.  I do not experience delay when using them.

I do often use them in noise cancellation mode.  As Tim says, they don’t 
perform as well as over the ear headphones will, but they do perform quite 
well, in my opinion.

Re: AirPods Pro from Voiceover user prospective

2021-10-13 Thread 'Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries
Hi,

Oops, sorry, didn’t answer all your questions.  Changing between Noise 
Cancellation and Transparency mode is quick and easy.  Simply long-press on the 
stem to toggle between the two modes.  When listening to music, or movies, the 
sound is excellent.  Good bass and clear highs.  They also work with Apple’s 
Spacial Audio feature which changes the feel of the sound depending on where 
your head is facing in reference to your iPhone, iPad or Mac.

Re: AirPods Pro from Voiceover user prospective

2021-10-13 Thread 'Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries
Hi,

There are two main modes with the AirPod Pro.  Noise Cancellation and 
Transparency.  In Transparency, you are able to hear outside sounds via the 
built-in mic.  These sounds can also be amplified if needed within the 
Accessibility settings of your iPhone.  The Noise Cancellation mode does quite 
well, although being that they are not an “Over the Ear” headset, they will not 
perform as well as that kind of headset.  I have primarily used them in 
Transparency mode myself as I’ve mostly needed to be cognizant of other sounds 
when using the AirPod Pros.  I’m not sure that I could give you an accurate 
example when using them in Noise Cancellation mode.

HTH.

Re: AirPods Pro questions.

2021-08-14 Thread Brad Snyder
It is always best to put the AirPods into the case when you are not wearing 
them.
On each AirPod Pro, you will feel a small indention on the front side of the 
short stem.  This is where you press in order to initiate an action.

You press and hold to initiate the customizable action, such as changing Noise 
Cancellation mode, or activating Siri.
You press once quickly to play/pause whatever you are listening to, or to 
answer or terminate an incoming phone call.
You press twice quickly to go forward to the next track, or when on a call, to 
answer a second call waiting call.
You press three time quickly to go backwards to the previous track.

- Brad -

Re: AirPods Pro or PowerBeats pro.

Hi Anders,

I’ve never tried the PowerBeats Pro, but I like my AirPods Pro a lot.  As far 
as how good the sound cancellation is, I don’t have a basis of comparison, but 
I find it to be quite good.

Donna

AirPods Pro. I have the regular Powerbeats  but the Pro have a better sound. 
The noise cancelling is pretty good and even without it activated, they block

Re: AirPods max question.

2021-06-11 Thread Jonathan Cohn
For theAirPods, there is an option:   Automatic In-Ear Detection.
Open bluetooth settings on your Mac, and then while the Max is connected, there 
should be an options button. Press this and hopefully you will find what you 
are looking for.
Jonathan

Best wishes,

RE: AirPods Max question.

2021-04-05 Thread josephlhodge
The ANC button is the long button that isn't the digital crown. With your 
headphones off and in the case it acts as a wake up to report the battery 
status on the Iphone. Much like if you were to open the lid on the Airpods pro.

Hi When the Airpod Max enter the deep sleep mode you know longer see the

Re: AirPods Max.

2021-03-20 Thread Pete Nalda
One more thing about the Max I forgot to mention, is battery life. It’s really 
amazing!!  I’ve left them unplugged all day long, and have yet to run them 
down!  I think their smart case helps in this area. And that case is nothing to 
write home about, but the protect flap protects the top, and is magnetic, and I 
think they run down less when they’re slipped in it.

Hi!
Well ok.
So I have to decide myself if its gonna be AirPods max or Beoplay H95.
The pro with the AirPods Max is that you can use them  with  all apple Devices

Not sure how blindness perspective related this is, but they are heavy! Sound 
is really good, and transparency works well, taking good advantage of the extra 
microphones. I thought it made sense to change the direction of the crown 
volume function, so that it’s clockwise for louder volume. One thing to note, 
transparency does function better with lower music volumes.

RE: AirPods waterproof

2020-05-07 Thread Simon A Fogarty
Shouldn't matter apple say they aren't water proof to the poin they go through 
a washing machine.

 However if they were in the case I can see they might stay dry ish!

 But either way, don't tell apple they might want more money for the water 
proof earpods.

RE: Airpods

2020-01-23 Thread Simon A Fogarty
HI David,

Yes the  phone price is split over the contract period and you pay the phone 
amount and contract monthly cost
That’s what I did when I got my 11 pro max,

The 10 dollars  per month to update wasn’t available when I got my phone but 
may be I should look at it now,

Would be worth the cost.

I was recently looking at NZ mobile providers. Two Degrees now offers a 
purchase plan where they split the cost of the new phone across the life of the 
contract, and if one adds $10 per month, one can upgrade the phone after 12 
months by exchanging the current handset for the new model.
Here in Australia, Telstra does this, and they even divide the cost of 
accessories, such as AirPods, in to the same payment plan across the life of 
the contract. I go for the two year contract so I can upgrade my phone every 12 
months.

RE: Airpods

2020-01-20 Thread Simon A Fogarty
Hey Kawal,

Just to let you know,
I had a similar thing happen with my series 2 pods 

So I did a search on amazon and found these silicon straps like a shoelace that 
the pods sit in the end of 
And mean that if the pods fall out of your ears they don't drop on the floor,

They stay around your neck so they are harder to lose.

Hope this helps.

I have both the original first generation AirPods, and the new AirPods Pro. The 
AirPods Pro fit much more securely in my ear. also, the stem on the AirPods Pro 
is significantly shorter. The case on the AirPods Pro is slightly larger than 
on the earlier models, but I don't find that to be an issue.

The AirPods Pro may cost a bit more, but I believe they are the better choice.

RE: Airpods

2020-01-20 Thread Simon A Fogarty
Hi Anders,

 I can only speak for the second gen and they are great sound and easy to use,

 As for how they look,

If you take a pair of wired apple earpods that you would get with a phone,
 Then you cut the wire off the end of the ear pease then you have the wireless 
airpods,

That's pretty much all there is to them,

 The case is a great size and fits in my pocket without issue and keeps the 
pods charged for days 

Mind you currently I'm not using them during the day a lot.

Hey siri works pretty well most of the time,
And they are most importantly cheaper than the pods pro,

I've only had once an issue where the pod came out of my ear when I got hit buy 
a swinging branch of a tree in a wind storm 

I haven't seen or tried the pods pro,
So I can't comment on them but to save money the series 2 pods in my book meet 
all requirements.

However to throw a wrench in your works,

 I also have a pair of power beats pro earpods as well and although they are 
slightly more costly than the series 2,

They are great and have play / stop next / previous and volume comtrols on the 
earpods,

And each pod has a hook to keep them on / in your ears.

 More of a noise cancellation ear insert but they aren't noise cancelling.

 Larger packaging but still a great quality earpod 

Hope that gives you something to work with.

I personally don't think the pros are worth the money when the power beats and 
series 2 work great al ready ..

Good luck.

Do they look like the wired pods from apple or different?

Re: Airpods

2020-01-19 Thread Brad Snyder
I have both the original first generation AirPods, and the new AirPods Pro. The 
AirPods Pro fit much more securely in my ear. also, the stem on the AirPods Pro 
is significantly shorter. The case on the AirPods Pro is slightly larger than 
on the earlier models, but I don't find that to be an issue.

The AirPods Pro may cost a bit more, but I believe they are the better choice.

Re: Airpods

2020-01-19 Thread Phil Halton
I also thought that EarPods were nothing that I really needed, but one day in a 
crowded and very noisy Apple Store, I realize that using them would allow me to 
function in noisy environments with my phone. Also, there is the privacy 
factor, no one can hear your phone talking. what I like most about the second 
GEN AirPods is the size. The case is not much bigger than a dental floss case 
and it fits in the small change pocket of my jeans and goes everywhere with me. 
I don’t think you can get that size factor with the pro models. It’s so easy to 
just pop one or both of the AirPods in when I need them without messing around 
with large objects such as the pro model. They’re very easy to use in any 
environment and come in and out of the case so easy it’s no big deal to use 
them just for a minute or two As needed. OK, I’m starting to ramble. Get the 
second GEN I think you’ll like them very much.
P.S. The second GEN is about the same form factor as the wired earbuds only 
without the wire obviously. There is a little stem that hangs down about an 
inch or so from the earpiece. There are things called ear hooks which will 
fasten onto that stem and then loop around the ear to keep them secure in case 
you’re out in a outdoor environment and you don’t want to risk losing one of 
them.

RE: airpods pro

2020-01-03 Thread Simon A Fogarty
Hi Donna,

I don’t have the pro pods but
I got a product such as this for my series 2 pods from amazon,

They are a silicon string with little socket like things the pods slot in to at 
each end.

I think they cost about 9 dollars USA for 7 different colours

Re: airpods pro

2020-01-03 Thread Robin
I can Relate because   I was inSearch of Them 
(Apple's NEW AirPodsPRO) about a  Week Ago & 
I  attempted to Track Them down & Purchase 
them  & Luckily for me, the 3rd Time was "The 
Charm" I visited 3  different Apple Stores 
on  3  different Days & 2  out of those 3  Days, 
I called to  inquire if that Particular Apple 
Store had  any AirPodsPRO in Stock at 
their  Store, & when I  got to One store  they 
Sold their Stock of AirPodsPRO Prior to My Arrival

RE: airpods pro

2020-01-03 Thread Simon A Fogarty
I don’t think they would do this,

They would need to be able to replace a lost Pro pod such as they do for the 
series 1 & 2.

Otherwise they are trying to force customers to purchase a costly set of 
headphones  with no option to replace broken or lost doesn’t sound correct.

2020-01-02 Thread Paul Mimms
One thing to try is looking on Amazon for ear hooks. They attached to the stem 
of the AirPods, all three series. The hook goes around your ear and does pretty 
well and keeping them in your ear rather than on the ground. That’s especially 
useful if you’re only using one at a time

Life is 10% what happens, and how you take it, and 90% what you do about it, 
and what you make of it.

Re: airpods pro

2020-01-02 Thread Brad Snyder
I don’t think this is true.  I looked on the Apple Store app, and didn’t find 
any information on replacement for a single left or right AirPod Pro, but I 
feel certain that I read on Apple Insider that replacement AirPod Pros are 
available, but they are not cheap.

RE: airpods pro

2020-01-01 Thread Simon A Fogarty
Wow, that’s a hell of a loss if you don’t find it again.

I’m not sure about keeping it in your ear,
But I did get something for my second gen pods
Which is a silicon  string type thing that each pod goes in to the end of and 
it then goes around your neck so that if the pod comes out of your ear,
It’s still hanging around your neck, meaning you don’t lose it fully to the 
ground…

The power beats pro have a similar ear insert


Any chance you can change the silicon insert to a larger size?

I’ve just been reading up on these new airpods and I’m slightly confused.

They have the silicon tip on the ear peace so they must be narrower at that 
point than the Series 1 & 2 airpods,

So what is holding them in your ears when listening to them or moving around?

Is it just the silicon ear peace into the ear canal!

And the transparency mode is enabled by pressing a button on the side of the 
airpods arm,

So if they can put that switch there, why can’t they put volume controls on 
them?

And again the wireless charging case,
How does a blind person know when it’s actually charging if its on a qi 
charging pad?

An LED is great but what about a tone / noise that lets us know!


Otherwise if they are as good if not better than the bose quiet comfort 
headphones then I might think about buying a set,
But only if they come with a personal airpod fitting assistant!

Yeah Bose are great,

My airpods S2 and power beats pro work great and therefore no need to spend

RE: Airpods pro

2019-10-30 Thread Simon A Fogarty
Yet the power beats pro 
To me the best of the airpods so far,

 They are a good quality airpod 
With great sound,
Play / pause,
Back / forward 
Volume controls 
And a nearly complete noise cancellation 

I'm not really a fan of the insert buds that the power beats pro and the new 
airpod pro have,
But after a while they have grown on me
Which is why I don't mind using them more now that my s2 airpods are being 
repaired.

The more I read about the airpod pro the more I'm really starting to think 
about If I will get a pair,
However unemployment for 4 months is making funds limited which is the more 
concerning issue.

That's one of the things that really suck about Airpods, no volume control and

RE: AirPods or not?

2019-09-21 Thread Simon A Fogarty
Anders if you don't like in ear then you wont like the power beats pro,

They are fully in ear, little silicon rubber things that slide in to your ear 
channel to give an almost noise cancelling feel to them 

Other than that they are great.

RE: AirPods or not?

2019-09-21 Thread Simon A Fogarty
Anders,

 I have both the earpods second gen and the power beats pro 

 For battery life the power beats have it over the earpods and the beats also 
have on device buttons for volume play pause etc.

They also have hooks that go over the top of your ears to stop them falling out 
and the sound quality is fantastic 
 Slightly larger than the earpods so don't fit in a pocket as well but they are 
really worth while looking at if you can.

 The earpods are great also, I get great usage from them and they tuck away in 
the charging case and fit in my pocket be it jeans or jacket it doesn't matter,

I put them on my charging pad with the wifi charging they are fully charged in 
a matter of minutes almost.

Again sound quality is pretty dam good but they are small and I do wonder how 
I'd go if I dropped them, but as yet I haven't as they sit in my ears very 
comfortably without movement or anything.
You can also purchase a little strap thing that connects to the pods and goes 
around the back of your neck to ensure that if they fall out you don't lose 
them.

 What it really comes down to is what your willing to pay as the beats are 
slightly more than the earpods but the earpods have wifi charging.the beats 
don't.

Are there a lot of bugs that are really annoying for a VoiceOver user or other

Hi!
Actually I don’t like the in-ear things.
Not even these normal EarPods with comes with apple devices.
But they seem so small and has from what I’ve heard a quite good sound.
I thought Apple would announce there headphones it was rumores about earlier 
this year.
But maybe I will try them out.

Re: AirPods or not?

2019-09-20 Thread Robin
Have you Consider'd  Apple's  PowerBeats Pro as 
an Option for Wireless BlueTooth, as 
I  understand it, the BatteryLife  is Far Better 
on  Them than  Apple's AirPods, but  Apple's 
AirPods have the Advantage  in that They can 
be  Charged wirelessly, & as far as I   know the 
PowerBeats Pro don't have that Feature (at Least not  in the Latest iteration)

Hi friends on the list!
Actually when the AirPods came out I didn’t 
think of buying them as they seem to have not as 
good battery as other wireless headphones.
Then came the second edition and I still 
didn’t want them as I  was thinking that I 
didn’t need all kinds of gadgets that all other have.
But now I sit here and thinking of buying them 
as I need something that’s really small when I 
go out taking the bus or going by taxi.
I have a lot of headphones here as I am an audio 
geek but they’re to bulky to put in a jacket.
Even though my marshal Major III Bluetooth which 
are foldable but they take up a lot of space in a pocket on a jacket.
Th AirPods really seems to fit my needs. So if I 
buy these later in the year for my birthday or 
Christmas I would like to know if there are things I should be aware of?
Are there a lot of bugs that are really annoying 
for a VoiceOver user or other annoying bugs?

Also I would like to have some tips on how to not drop one or the other?
THey’re really small so it can actually happen.
They are a bit pricy though so I am not sure I can afford them.
There are alternatives out there but I wonder if 
they are as good as the EarPods?

Thanks in advance for all answers.

Re: AirPods or not?

2019-09-20 Thread lenron brown
I got them, They are alright. I hate the battery life and at times
they fall out of my ears. So of course I worry about losing them. I
would say buy them and try them out.

I had to buy some as I lost my first airpod pair during my trip to thailand. 
Just got an SMS saying they're on their way.

I wouldn't see much improvement apart from what's mentioned, which is enough
