r/AirpodsPro

Hello, three family members all with AirPod Pro2s, bought at separate times from separate places (all legit) all pristine, well cared for etc, have started to have connectivity issues, disconnecting when walking away from phone by even a few feet which would normally have been fine, sound really tinny/echoey etc.
Also seem to have issues with functions such as auto play/pause skipping videos, videos skimming without buttons being touched pressed etc.

All have different phones/iPads new and old, up to date etc.
Have tried factory resetting them, some no different, some slightly better for a short time, one is wayyy worse now.

Planned obsolescence? New set hinted at being released in September which is a little be suspicious!

We are in the UK of that is relevant lol

I had first generation of airpods, first and also second generation of airpods pro. And they all broke after 2/3 years: in one case the battery died and in the others they started to make noises, like the right one that i have now has been making wind noises and whistle for a week. Am i not being carefully with them or am i being unlucky or is it normal to change them every 2/3 years?

whistle

Can anyone tell me their experience of tips and if damaged what to do with tips or can teach some better tips or tricks with them…

I lost my left bud for Airpods pro 2s. So, i bought a replacement and followed online guides that say to unpair from phone then leave them charging for 20 mins then try to pair again. Problem is, now the airpods arent showing up in bluetooth at all. No matter what I do. Before, i could atleast use the old right buds with the case. Now that too isn't working. Im at a loss and panicking

I finally pulled the trigger on the AirPods Pro 3 and have mixed feelings about anc.

These are my first pair of earbuds/headphones with anc and so after constantly hearing they have some of the best anc and transparency on the market, I’m left with mixed feelings now.

The transparency mode is for sure very natural-sounding, and I understand why people say that. I could hear myself, others, cars, everything well, and it didn’t sound like it was being played through speakers.

The anc I’m a little disappointed with; I tried it with my room fan and I could still hear it a little. If I play some media, it disappears even on the lowest volumes, but still. ANC It does great with cars; though walking down the street feels almost scary with how quiet it is. I think it still struggles with voices too, but I guess if I’m playing a song or watching a video, it doesn’t matter since it gets drowned out. I’d say for me and my use cases, it blocked out 80–90% of sounds, and the rest any media playing easily covers.

I suppose this is all user error and I had my expectations way too high for anc but overall I’m still glad and I would still recommend you to get them and try them out. I spent a while figuring out the right ear tip combination and finding a good fit/seal. The sound is pretty good; I’m not an audiophile, but everything sounds alright, no screechy sounds at high volume. Speaking of which, I don’t think I’ve even used it more than 50% volume.

I have an older pair of AirPods2 that I got second-hand, so I realize that some of the issues may simply be due to their age. Still, I’m hoping I can get a little more life out of them.

The left AirPod lasts about 45 minutes on average, while the right one lasts around 4 hours. I have no idea why there’s such a huge difference between the two.

I use an Android phone, and none of the apps I’ve tried that claim to show AirPods battery levels seem to work properly.

I do have access to an iPhone, so I could potentially change the primary microphone setting, but I’m not sure whether that would actually help.

Are there any other methods I could try to reduce the battery drain on the left AirPod or otherwise get the two batteries to last more evenly?

I just got 3’s and I wish I hadn’t sold my 2’s. I’ve yet to find an aspect better with the 3’s so far. They feel cheaper (they are lighter and I didn’t have an issue with the weight of the 2’s, in fact I miss that aspect primarily and in particular.), they do not work with hey Siri (at least currently, may be a bug, may just be my pair… IDK)

Everything these days are made cheaply and I miss things being built to last and remain iconic. I think the Pro 3’s missed substantially.

My 3 cents.

They fit way worse and protrude out of the ear more. Makes laying down or resting your head against anything super uncomfortable.

The ANC over corrects bass sounds and makes weird high pressures.(Did multiple rounds of the calibration and fit test.

Overall, absolutely garbage. Retuning them tomorrow.

I’ve just bought AirPod 3 pros on a good offer from Amazon uk and want to know if it’s worth buying a protective case for the case? Has anyone broken a case or had the buds fall out of the case

Warning!!! I copied this from chat gpt cause I did not know how to explain this at all I’m terrible with my words.

The audio is intermittently pulsing/muffling in and out, and it creates a plugged-ear/pressure sensation that makes me dizzy. It feels like the noise cancellation is fluctuating even though the mode isn’t changing.

Has anyone experienced this??

Hi everyone,

So, this year in June, I purchased the new AirPods Pro 3. However, yesterday I accidentally left them in my pants, and they got washed in the washing machine. I do have AppleCare+ for them. The case is not charging at all, both AirPods sound muffled with very low volume (even at 100%), and noise cancellation isn't working on the left one.

By any chance, can I claim a new set of AirPods with my AppleCare+, or will I have to pay for the whole thing (Case+Airpods)?

I remember I had just taken my AirPods to the beach and I 100% remember I had them at the house. I placed them aswell as my phone in my bathroom while I showered and then I remembered i brought them out of the bathroom. I don’t remember them being dead yet on Find My and iCloud Find My the last known location was my living room on August 4 at 7:24 P.M. EST. I’ve tried all the third-party Bluetooth scanners, yet nothing helps. Any tips?

I had AirPods Pro 2 for three years and they were perfect overall - the sound, the fit and comfort. But these Pro 3 which I have from about six months now and I’m still trying to figure out what’s wrong.

The fit, sound quality, and comfort have all changed. Is it the new shape? Wearing them for a while now has started to hurt, which wasn’t the case with the Pro 2

The tips on my $50 Anker Soundcore earbuds are much more comfortable and fit perfectly. I want to like them and and the connectivity with my ipad, macbook is awesome but the comfort just isn’t there

I want to save up and get myself a pair and they have a good price now but I can’t afford them. It would be nice to know if they usually have a Black Friday or Christmas sale.
