with how short the battery life is you make that sound so simple. I fell asleep with them in the other night, and had to scramble to find one when I woke up. The batteries were dead. I use them with my computers, but for some reason the audio was acting kind of weird today. All cracklely for some

They can be used on devices other than Apple. When in the case, you can use the pairing button on the back of the case to pair them to any bluetooth source device, including Android phones. Andy - Original Message - From: "Devin Prater" To: Sent: Saturday, December 08, 2018 9:26

You guys aren't leaving the airpods out of its case are you? because when not in use, they're supposed to stay in the case. if you leave them lying around, then they'll definitely die. I have never had any battery issue. just use them as normal, whenever you need a break just pop them back in

My problem was that because of the aweful battery life, the pods died in the night, so I couldn't play a tone to find them in the morning. That's when I decided to just give them to a family member, who now has an Android phone, knock on wood, so I'll probably look at sending them back to

That is a work-around but not the solution I want. What would you say if Apple decided not to put volume buttons on the phone any more because they tell you to just ask SIRI to change the volume. Also, what if you don't have an active internet connection then using SIRI to lower the volume is

I have done this and as I said, the two main issues are lack of volume control and one more thing I forgot earlier, they really should have a tiny hole or loop molded into the plastic where you could use a thin but strong line/string to attach the two Airpods. This way it would be much harder
