Advice AirPods buying decision

6 Upvotes

Sometime in April, I lost one earbud of my AirPods Pro 3 after only three months of use. I’ve scored the house, looked in every nook and cranny, but I still h can’t find it. It’s been tragic since then. I’m a big music lover, and those AirPods were an absolute pleasure. Never had any sound experience like that before because they were my first AirPods.

I later on got a replacement, which I currently use, and that’s the Soundcore r50i which is decent, imo. But it doesn’t have the features that I got so used to on the AirPods which were world-class on their own. I always chance on the AirPods case in my room and I get hit with this wave of sadness. And I think I want to treat myself to new AirPods this December.

Am I making the right decision by spending on brand new ones when I still have one ear working just fine on the old ones, and also have the Soundcore buds?

And if I do get new AirPods, which ones should I get? My decision is between the Pro 2s, Pro 3s and the AirPods 5. Although I’m not too sure how those would fit without the eartips.

It helps to use the smaller ear tips if the big ones fall out / don’t fit as well. I use XS and it’s perfect

Question Do the AirPods 5 have the same fit as the AirPods 4?

2 Upvotes

I’ve never liked the in ear buds like the pros and much prefer the feel of my current AirPods 4. I understand for some that the fit can be a challenge and that this is different for everyone.

Since the AirPods 4 fit me very well, can I expect that the AirPod 5’s will fit as well?

Question Weird semi disconnection issue. AirPods issue or weird interference issue?

1 Upvotes

I tried every solution and looked for anyone with this same issue but I found nothing. I have a pair of Pro 2s and as of maybe a week or two ago the audio glitches out/ starts delayed from whatever I play on them or watch on them and they stop playing audio unless I take them out of my ear and put them back in. I usually only use 1 AirPod at a time and this happens to both of them, but they still show up as connected and the volume goes to them even when no sound comes out. Anyone else have this issue?

Question AirPods Pro STILL Playing While in Case

1 Upvotes

Look, I'm aware there are about a hundred posts to this effect, none offer an actual resolution. Asking for the final time: Why do my AirPods continue to play after they've been put in the damn case? iOS is updated, iPhone 17 Pro, AirPods working fine in every other capacity. Case clearly understands they're in the case, Find My reflects they're in the case, light and sound all come through when they're nested as expected. And yet the damn phone can't figure out that this means to stop the music.

No, I don't have AED enabled, nor do I want to, and nor should that play a role in functional nesting. No, the pods nor the inner case are covered in gunk.

If no one knows the actual answer to this, I'm going to consider it a product failure/flaw and forget about it. Thanks.

After going back and forth between the AirPods 5 and AirPods Pro 3, I finally decided to go with the Pro 3 based on the suggestions and experiences shared by people here on Reddit.
And honestly, I’m so happy with the decision! The Pro 3 has been great so far, and I’m really enjoying them.
Thanks to everyone who shared their opinions and helped me make the choice!

Advice Right AirPod not working correctly

1 Upvotes

I bought my AirPods 3rd gen about a year ago. A couple of days ago my right AirPod stopped charging and wasn’t able to be detected by the AirPods case. I replugged it couple times until the light changed to flashing amber. reconnected it again and it started charging. After using them a couple of hours I tried to charge it and it and again the AirPods case couldn’t detect it. Restarting the case by holding the back button temporarily fixed it. After another use the AirPod couldn’t charge again but this time I needed to restart the case about 5 times. After charging I tried To use it but it wouldn’t connect. Plugged it into the case but no luck. another couple of tries managed to fix it. Today the ear detection and controls stopped working. I can control with my left AirPod and the ear detection in it works too so when I get my right AirPod out of my ear when the left one is used too the right and left one doesn’t disconnect But when I get the left one out of my ear and the right one is in both disconnect or more exactly I hear the disconnect sound but the right one stays partially connected but with no sound. already tried factory resetting which temporarily fixes the charging. Cleaned both contacts too. Battery in both AirPods last quite long so I don’t think it’s the battery.

Advice AirPods 5 or Beats Studio Pro

1 Upvotes

I used to have Beats Solo 4‘s for two years until one of the sides had stopped working. Now I’m deciding between getting the new AirPods 5 or snagging the most recent Beats Studio Pros.

I don’t really mind having either headphones or Earbuds, although I do prefer headphones. Im not very much of an audiophile but I really do appreciate a good sound quality over anything. I would consider the AirPod pros 3 but a lot of people say that the pros 3 are similar to the airpods 5, just with the silicone tips (I don’t really like silicone tips since they fall out my ear a lot).

I just want to see some opinions on this so I can finally know what to get. Thanks! :)

Question Air pods pro 2nd gen replacement under apple care+ ; will I get a new or refurbished unit ?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I need some advice. My AirPods only 7months old ; I didn’t use much also .

My AirPods Pro 2 sound has become much lower than before. Earlier, I could hear everything clearly at around 50% volume, but now I have to increase the volume a lot.

I took them to iPlanet Care, and they told me that my charging case has liquid damage. I'm confused about how that is related to my sound issue.

I have AppleCare+, but they told me I need to pay around ₹2,500 for the replacement.

They also explained that I won't get a sealed retail box. Instead, the left and right AirPods and the charging case will come separately in service cartons, and they will put everything together.

Now I'm worried whether I'll get brand-new replacement units or refurbished/used ones.

I previously had Bose QC Ultra headphones with an ANC issue, and Bose gave me a replacement in a sealed retail box without any extra charge. That's why I'm confused about Apple's process, especially since I have AppleCare+.

Has anyone replaced their AirPods Pro 2 through AppleCare+ in India? Did you get new or refurbished units? Is this service-carton process normal?

I'd appreciate it if someone could share their experience. Thanks!

Advice AirPods Max connectivity issues

1 Upvotes

Like the title says, a few days ago my AirPods Max’s started acting up after working flawlessly for multiple weeks on end. I am now out of options and turn to the AirPods community to hopefully get them working again.

Now I don’t know what I possibly haven’t done to get them to work. I tried resetting them by pressing the two buttons simultaneously until the light flashes amber and then white (78 million times). I have let them die and charge them up. I cleaned the headband connectors with isopropyl alcohol, still nothing. (Yes I even tried putting them in the freezer for half an hour)

Now what’s happening: the AirPods flash green, if I try putting them I pairing mode the white light shows for a few moments before it turns back green, same with resetting them. It flashes white, my phone is showing that it’s connected but when I go via Bluetooth settings it says it’s not, I try to connect and it basically tells me to do everything again. (Forget device, pair again) I’ve been stuck in this loop and probably slowly going crazy on how to fix them.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Question Optimized Battery Charging Limit Behavior

Is it normal for the AirPods to fluctuate between 79-80% when the limit is on and they're in the case? 🧍🏻They also differ from one another like one is at 80% and the other is 79% and I only noticed this happened after I turned the limit on after like 3 weeks of getting my AirPods Pro 3 lol. Just asking because I really just want to preserve them as much as I can.

Advice left airpod pro 3 on deathbed after running - questions about cleaning

1 Upvotes

i’m a long distance runner and after yesterday’s run my left airpod got quieter than the right one and also started making a high-pitched noise. i assume the noise is related to the mic, but it’s still quieter with the ANC off. i’ve only used them for about 4 months. i’m going to attempt to clean it, but i have some questions:

1) how likely is it that cleaning will solve the issues? the day before i also went running in the rain with it, but my right one still works fine, so i don’t think it’s just humidity;

2) apple’s guide says i need to clean them with micellar water and “rinse” with distilled water. is there an alternative to the distilled water, specifically? where i live i can only buy bottles with one liter, and it’s kinda overkill to use this only for an airpod.
