"If you use Apple devices, it integrates perfectly with the ecosystem."
"I unlock my computer and phone with it."
"the fact that they integrate to the Apple Watch simply cannot be understated for me, I couldn’t go back to Garmin now, it is just so much part of my life now. ... Tracking weightlifting workouts, nutrition and other stuff, analysis of the data, send messages to HomePod, changing NC automatically, sending emails …."

"I put them in my ear, put the helmet on, then do one final “push” with my finger to seat them in my ear for the ride. ... The batteries die before they work out of my ear."
"I use it literally 18 hours or more a day and I can personally say, they don't hurt my earholes. ... They stayed on even after a 3 hour nap in bed, lying down."
"I have the ear shape where in-ear headphones always make a loud bumping sound when I'm moving, so AirPods 4 give the benefits of noise cancelling and great sound without the in-ear effect. ... AirPods 3 always fell out my left ear but they dialed in the size perfect for the 4's, they sit perfect and I've never had it fall out or shake loose doing sprints and a full marathon."

"amazing battery (literally all day at work without going into the case)"
"Ok it's great I had them playing for more than 6 hrs with ANC and they didn't die ... Soundcore says about 10hrs and I think it's pretty true you can at least get 8 hrs without ANC and with ANC I reckon at least 7 hrs. ... The case can charge UpTo 3 times and combined Anker says 40 hrs of play time which I think is pretty accurate."
"Long-lasting! Swear! Hahaha. Halos everyday ko siyang gamit and once a week ko lang siya need i-charge"

"great seal I get from them ... a big part of the ANC effectiveness ... so for me its the fit/seal for both ANC and sound quality"
"While the ANC of AirPods Pro is hard to beat"

"They're pretty water resistant, I've (accidentally) sent them through the wash in my pants pocket and they still work just fine."
"I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards."
"are water resistant (I've run mine through the wash and they still work no problems)"

"the bass sounds are nonexistent ... my 30$ EarPods have much better bass sounds ... So if you listen to a lot of bass-heavy music, stay away from these. ... I had to spend a lot of time with equalizer to make them usable."
"the sound quality is terrible imo. ... they sound kind of boxy / middy with less bass response. ... it just sounds flattened. ... these suck ☹️"
"not sound quality ... Samsung buds pro 2 sound way better than apple's ... bowers and Wilkins pi6 and pi8 even better sound quality again than this"

"AirPods are built to last a year the then they fail. ... Every year, right after the warranty expires, one ear bud fails its almost a joke to us at this point. ... we've had 8-9 pairs of air pods fail ... One of the air pods just quit working on all the sets they've had..."
"Three months later, one earbud stopped working."
"R50i has an issue where it sometimes stops working all together, once it clicks into that deep sleep the reset won't work no matter what you do because there isn't actually a physical button on it or on the box."

"couldn't use them for phone calls at all. ... Sound quality on phone calls was still just bad. ... I have to put them out to be able to make a call."
"But their mic performance on the outdoors is worse than trash."
"whenever you use them for voice comms, the reproduced audio quality goes to the crapper — limited bandwidth. ... But it does not work well in clam shell mode with MacBook Air M1. (At least with mine it did not a few eons ago.)"

"the noise esp for shooter/online games are terrible"
"The only device I notice audio latency is with the quest 2, and 3. It's required to have wired there imo. I can't think straight in a fps if my audio isn't in sync with gun shots, it really fucks with me."
"If you are into FPS games and ms latencies, the AirPods are gonna irk you terribly."
You just like the thought of it or do you actually use them in conditions where that would be helpful. I’ve used EarBuds, Pro 1, and Pro 2 during workouts and in light rain with no issues at all. I tend to get out of the rain in downpours or at least use an umbrella, so don’t plan on ever putting that to the test.
r/apple • Apple announces AirPods Pro 3 with ‘world’s best ANC’ and live translation ->I bought them because my left app2 took a swim and lost noise cancelling. I am happy with a device that fits so nice and call quality with battery life is great. I didn't buy them to experience another level in sound. I don't know what people expect but over all for w the price, size and overall feeling it's great.
r/airpods • Several days later, let's be honest... ->Yeah. Airpods work with Android phones they just don't support all the features (they don't show battery %, no spatial audio, no Find My Device). Still mostly usable.
r/running • It's time for new earphones, please help with recommendations ->my airpods have been great
r/Contractor • Recommend me work earbuds ->airpods is by far your best bet; worth the money, takes at least 3years to notice the battery degrade (assuming you use it everyday).
r/Tech_Philippines • Wireless Earphones for Phone Calls ->The NRR rating in AirPods is a relatively recent update as well so I think most people still aren’t aware because for years they didn’t have any official rating.
r/MilwaukeeTool • Anyone tried these ear buds? ->I killed 2 sets of AirPods with too much sweat. I now use Shokz open move when I run or workout. I don’t think they sound anywhere near as good as the AirPods, but they have lasted much longer. I would be open to switching to something else myself so I’m curious to see what people say.
r/sanantonio • Runners, which headphones? ->The Pros have better ANC and sound because of the tight seal. However I prefer the 4s because i don’t like the silicone tips on the pros.
r/airpods • Airpod 4’s or the Airpods pro 2’s ->Exactly the case. Everyone should try airpod pro 2 first and if the tips don’t fit just return it for 4
r/airpods • Airpod 4’s or the Airpods pro 2’s ->I got tired of my AirPods falling out so I've been bringing my bluetooth JBL speaker with me to the gym. No issues so far.
r/workout • Headphones or TWS for Gym? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
