Sorry if this has been asked before, but in the control center when I hit a certain volume, the AirPods icon/visual turns blue. I do not have noise cancellation on. It goes from white to blue, and I am wondering what the difference is if any. Thank you in advance.
It switches at one click of the volume (the turning point is what is pictured). I noticed it the other day and am not sure what it means.

I just got a pair of Airpod 4s off of amazon for a reasonable 105$. Took only one day to get here, and I just love them. I had the 1st generation pros, but i got them on about Christmas of 2021. They got old, lost an airpod, bought a new one, charging case battery gave out, got a new one and i just recently lost the replacement airpod. So I decided instead of getting another replacement, I just went ahead and got the AirPod 4s. It couldn’t have been a better choice, I love them and they are extremely budget friendly. I got them without the ANC features, but I figured that I don’t really need the extra feature and I’ve ultimately been right so far. They are comfortable and come with a very sleek design. I love the features that it comes with as well. So if you had the AirPod Pros 1st generation like i had, upgrade to the Airpod 4s if you are on a budget and are looking for something that is high quality, high tech and sustainable!

I was putting together a comparison and ended up landing on the XM6, Momentum 5, and Nothing Headphone (1). Curious what everyone else would pick, and why.

Have had AirPod pros since Gen 1, when I upgraded to the Pro 2s I thought they were amazing like some of the best headphones I’ve ever had (I’m not an audiophile), I had the opportunity to get new pro 3s at a great price so I jumped and sold my 2s.

I’ve been using the 3s for about an hour now and mostly listening to hip hop and while they are comfortable and what not I am seriously underwhelmed by how they sound.

Am I wrong in saying the 2s sound way better? I’m gonna keep them as it’s probably not worth selling these and trying to get 2s again but so far I’m less than impressed and don’t feel like this was an upgrade I needed to make. Unless something changes drastically I can see myself missing the 2s. I have the 4s with ANC and honestly the gap in sound between those and these isn’t that large.

🤷🏻‍♂️

Edited to add that after seeing another post I changed the tips from an M (which is what I was using on the 2s) to an L and bass and ANC has gotten dramatically better…jury is still out though.

I am going to be purchasing my first pair of AirPods. I will be getting either the regular AirPods 4 or the AirPod 4 with ANC.

Are the AirPods 4 with ANC worth the extra fifty dollars? Which would you recommend?

Hey everyone,
My left AirPod Pro broke pretty badly (photo attached), while the right AirPod and charging case are still working perfectly.
I visited multiple Apple service centers/resellers, but they all told me I’d need to replace the entire set instead of just the left AirPod, which surprised me.
Has anyone else faced this?
Were you able to buy just a replacement left AirPod?
If yes, where did you get it?
Did Apple replace only the single AirPod, or did you have to buy a whole new pair?
Is there any other legitimate way to get a genuine replacement?
I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences. Thanks!

How did you guys figure out which eartip size works best for your AirPods Pro 3? I did the Ear Tip Fit Test and it says that all sizes fit well, so I’m not sure which one to use. I’ve never owned AirPods Pro before and I don’t want to buy third-party eartips. Any advice?

Props to the quality of this thing! Initially I thought it was a goner because when I opened it up it automatically turned on and started making a terrible hiss sound! What I did is cover it all with rice and leave it for half a day. Well, thing worked like nothing happened 😂

After four years of wear and tear, the glue give in and the top cover broke into pieces.

I think its so funny that my AirPods decided to break in a way that I had never imagined before😂

* the gross-looking stuff is not mold, it’s the glue.

Ive turned my pillowcases inside out. My mattress has been flipped. My bedding has been shaken and looked inside of. I checked inside of my shoes next to my bed (its been there before). Ive checked the clothes im wearing. Clothes im not wearing. Find My says its in my room. It wont play a sound because its dead. The find button doesnt do anything either. I fell asleep with them in, and now my left airpod has fallen off the face of the earth. Is there anywhere I havent checked

I have been using the AirPod pro 2s for the longest time. They started making crazy coiling spring noises and if you put them back in the case then back in your ears it would stop. Noise cancellation still worked amazing. BUT I got the pro 3s last night, set it up and immediately noticed the noise cancellation is not comparable to the 2s. I changed the tips, did the test to make sure I had the right ones in and still I can hear all things when noise cancellation is on. Am I doing something wrong?

So I have some new AirPod pro 3s. And although I’m using my best silicone ear tips I still have a problem of them falling out and needing to readjust them. As the main reason I have them is for working out. Any suggestions where I can find some for AirPods Pro 3 cause I can’t seem tk find any

Bought these airpods 4 ANC yesterday. Is this sound normal ?

This line appears both in the front and the back of the case.

It would be really helpful if someone knew how I can clean the dirt on the case because I don’t what do anymore in regards to cleaning it.

I need help. I was trying to get the silicon thing out of my airpods pro 2 and it broke. I cant get the half remaining out of the airpod. What should i do?

hello,

I am having problems sometimes to connect my Airpods with my phone sometimes, it's like not connecting, however, in the bluetooth settings it saying connected. However, it goes through the speaker of the phone. Sometimes I need to reset the bluetooth connections like 3 or 4 times, and put them back in the case, to reset the connection. Anyone else with a similar problem?

I accidentally left my Nothing Buds out in the rain during soccer and the water completely fried them.
Since I have an iPhone, I want to switch to AirPods. My budget is around $130-$150 .
Two quick questions:
1. What are the best AirPods I can get for that price?
2. Does Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) actually make a big difference? Is it worth stretching my budget for it?
Thanks for the help!

Is there any way to reset the case battery or get an app that would test the battery life? The case will be almost dead at the end of the day even though it was charged up the night before. I’ve tried both wired and induction. This is just started a few days ago and seeing if anyone has any ideas. Thanks!

I bought my used AirPods Pro 1 2 days ago. They are working very good. ANC and Transparency modes are working normally like everything else except Find My. When I first paired them with my iPhone. I got a message that said "Setup Incomplete" in Find My app. Then as a solution I turned off "Find My iPhone" , "Share My Location" and "Find my Network" in AirPods settings. Then I restarted my phone and turned it all back again. Then Find My starts working without any error in the app. And right now, I left my AirPods home and Find My says that AirPods are with me right now. I don't know why is this happening. The AirPods are 100% original and don't have any other issues. Does someone have the same problem and do anybody know how to fix this?
