AirPods 2

[...] 2 upgraded inside of an hour by leaving them connected to my MacBook, while they were charging and the AirPod cases were open. [...] Anyway, you can force an upgrade by hitting "forget this device" and then re-pairing it. [...]

I recv'd AirPods (2 Pro) for Xmas. They are excellent ear buds, as I'm sure you're aware, but the main attraction was their hearing aid capability. I've had Rexton hearing aids for a few years, but never really adjusted to them (comfort, sound quality, Bluetooth support).

[...] A few years back when I was looking at it, compared to the Base AirPods (2 maybe?), the Huawei FreeBuds 4i had about twice the in ear battery life, ANC / transparency, perfectly okay sound quality and comparable / better splash resistance. And all that for like half the price or less. [...]

This is anecdotal but I haven’t had any issues with my AirPods 2 Pro and I have been using them for three years.

I recall them being a slower burn that first year, still a great year but not to the degree of their other new products; but in under 3 years they were part of what I at the time called the San Francisco uniform: 1. AirPods 2. [...]

honestly crazy to me that i bought airpods 2 years ago and still have not lost a single one since then

The Airpods 2 have a whistle problem for me. Any time someone whistles or anything makes a loud noise I would feel a pressure on my ear that was quite unpleasant and stemming from the airpod. Haven’t tried the 3 but I wonder if it is related.

Yes! I have worn various and my current are Airpods 2 Pro. The daith is discreet, does not get in the way of anything.

So my Airpods 2 have an outdated firmware version, but as a user I can't explicitly have iOS update the firmware, and there is no indication when an update happens. I wish I would have more control.

Been using the AirPods 2 for a couple months, both for listening, but also as discrete hearing aids (cough:old:cough) and they're incredible.

i bought new airpods 2 weeks ago and i already cannot locate one of the airpods and the fucking "find my" airpod thing is a goddamn joke 😭 why even give me the feature @apple?!

[...] I have AirPods 2 Pro and sure, they sound nice. [...]

I have this issue intermittently just when walking around, at sea level! I can make them start screaming just by holding them even - The Airpods 2 do not have the same issue.

This happened with the right side on my AirPods 2. Quick tip: Use your credit card's extended warranty features (if you used such a card) to get them replaced if they're within 1 year outside the Apple warranty. I've had both AirPods (2nd gen) and AirPods Max fully refunded this way.

I have AirPods 2 and do not have this issue. Maybe you should go bring them to an apple store?

The title should probably specify AirPods 2 and 4. As an owner of AirPods Pro (1st Generation), I was confused because I've only ever had two options: noise-cancelling or transparency. There has never been an option for “off,” so presumably this was a new feature in later generations, which the author explains is no longer available.

So I went on a trip and left my headphones at home … all of them. I was going to be gone for a month so I just went and bought AirPods 2. Now I have AirPods Pro and AirPods 2 and don’t have enough ears. [...]
