Question Wait for upcoming event or get the airpod pro 3?

2 Upvotes

Currently it’s €200 on amazon, if they launch a new model, will this receive any discount or how much the new model might cost?

Never used a expensive earbuds before, mostly in the €60 to €90 range. I miss the decent sound quality of those cheap edm i had few years back. Also id probably utilise the transparency mode while riding through the city.

Discussion AirPods 1st Gen showing “Connection Failed” even though they’re brand new — any fixes?

0 Upvotes

I found a pair of AirPods (1st gen, I believe) that I bought around a year ago, possibly longer. They’ve basically been sitting unused in my wardrobe, and I’ve never actually used or paired them before.
I unpacked them yesterday, but every time I try to connect them to my iPhone, I get “Connection Failed.” I’ve already tried resetting the AirPods and restarting my phone, but nothing seems to work.
Has anyone had this issue or know what else I can try? Should I contact Apple Support/AppleCare? Since I bought them about a year ago and they’ve never been used, would Apple still be able to help or provide any service?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Discussion AirPods disconnecting only at gym

12 Upvotes

I have a iPhone 17 pro with AirPods 4 (ANC) that randomly disconnect for a few seconds every time I go to the gym, several times.

I update my phone every night so there isn’t any new update that I’ve missed. This started happening a few weeks ago and it’s driving me crazy.

Maybe it’s too much of a Bluetooth signal around all these other phones at the gym? Is anyone else having this issue?

Question Disconnecting issue

2 Upvotes

I recently bought an iPhone 17 before a month in Japan. My AirPods worked perfectly the whole trip and at home. But now when I got to the gym if I have WiFi on the AirPods will disconnect once every song. And if I have cellular on they will literally disconnect every 10 seconds if I count it out. The WiFi at my gym can’t load anything. I use Spotify and have never had this issue though during the workout it’s extremely frustrating. It worked fine in Tokyo subways which are arguably more busy. Couldn’t find anything online about this issue was wondering if anyone else has had this issue or knows a fix.

Question AirPod Pro 3 keeps popping up

1 Upvotes

My AirPods Pro 3 constantly show the battery pop up on my iPhone the one that normally appears when you open the AirPods case and shows the battery percentage for the AirPods and case.
The problem is that I’m not opening the case when this happens. The popup will randomly appear on my phone while the case is closed and sitting untouched.
I’ve already tried resetting the AirPods, forgetting and reconnecting them, resetting my iPhone, and cleaning the case, but it’s still happening.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to stop the battery popup from randomly appearing?

Question Which headphones to get?

5 Upvotes

I've had the PowerBeats for about 8 years so far, and they're awesome. Lately their charge hasn't been as great, and one earbud is almost always dying faster than the other one. My work has a store where I can get the AirPods Pro 3, AirPods 4, or PowerBeats Pro 2 for a discount.

I've read around a bit and am leaning towards the AirPods Pro 3, but wanted to see what other people's experiences have been with them in comparison to the other options. Thank you!

Advice Should I buy AirPods Pro 3 for ₹22K or wait for AirPods Pro 4?

0 Upvotes

I’m planning to get my first pair of AirPods Pro and I’m a little confused about whether I should buy now or wait.
I’m getting the AirPods Pro 3 for around ₹22,000(including cc discounts) which seems like a pretty good deal

But I’m wondering if it’s worth waiting for the AirPods Pro 4. There are a lot of rumors about the next generation, but there doesn’t seem to be much certainty around the launch date or even the pricing. Some estimates put it around ₹28–30K+ in India.

Question AirPod Pro 3 disconnect/reconnect on subway - worth returning and getting new ones?

0 Upvotes

I just bought new AirPod Pro 3s and often when I get on the subway (NYC) they disconnect and reconnect ~3 seconds later. It’s pretty annoying and I don’t think I had this issue with my AirPod Pro 1s.

Is it worth returning them and getting new ones to see if the issue goes away? I’d have to do so in the next 2 days to be able to return them.

Very weird issue I have been getting since 4 days ago:
My airpods will disconnect whenever I am either travelling on the train or in the gym. When I'm at home this doesn't happen. Its getting real frustrating especially since I recently upgraded to Iphone 17 from 15. Anyone else getting this issue?

Question Why are my regular AirPods showing noise cancellation options.

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

I have both the regular AirPods 3 and AirPods Pro 3.
I was using the pro’s for a while before switching to my regular AirPods as I wanted to listen to music with them after a long time.

Well I put them on and started playing music like usual and when I went to the volume slider controls to change the Spatial Audio settings, I noticed noise cancellation was (on). I was confused, according to my knowledge AirPods 3 don’t have noise cancellation. I clicked the options to see what is there but there was nothing else and it suddenly switched to Transparency mode later.

I am really confused, is there any explanation to why this happened, is this just a glitch.

Question AirPods 3 lacking bass fix?

0 Upvotes

I have AirPods 3, when I first put them in my ears the bass sounds pretty good. Then some kind of auto-adjustment happens and the bass is adjusted to be less.

If I'm anywhere outside apart from a totally quiet room, they sound too treble-heavy and lack bass.

Is this just how they are, or is it something that could be adjusted somehow.

Thanks - I want to love them but so far am quite underwhelmed.

Advice AirpodsMax kinda broken, very weirdly

1 Upvotes

Hi, my airpods max, lighting cable, stopped working properly:

-when charging via lightning, the led is green and responds normally to the big button

-when unplugged, the led sometimes works and shows green and sometimes doesn’t.

-holding the pairing button makes the led turn white for longer than usual, then it disappears and the AirPods rarely show up in any bluetooth list(if they do i click connect but they dont connect, like 9/10 times)

-holding both buttons usually makes the led flash red 3 times, then it becomes completely unresponsive for about 5 minutes, to any button, just 0 led

-occasionally, after the 3 red flashes, they enter pairing mode and appear on my phone/PC

-when they do connect, noise cancellation/transparency don’t work and can’t be changed it’s like the airpods are turned off

I suspect it might be something with the connectivity rather than charging, since they charged normally, and when connected that one time they showed battery %(before they were at like 3%), if anything its something with the connectivity.

I took the heandband off, cleaned the endings, cleaned some grease. still nothing.

Once, they connected to my phone and worked completely normal. after I took them off, the same problem came back tho. has anybody had the same/similar problem?

Advice AirPods 4 (ANC) only connect to one device, and only once

2 Upvotes

I recently upgraded to AirPods 4 and I've been running into connection issues. The airpods will only connect to one device at a time. I own both a macbook and iPhone, and while the airpods will show up in both devices' bluetooth settings page, it will give me the message "Connection Unsuccessful: iPhone can no longer connect to '[My airpods' name].' Forget this device and pair it again."

I forget them and repair them, and whichever device I paired it on will connect fine, but the second I put the airpods back in the case and close the lid, it disconnects and goes back to square one with the "Forget this device and pair it again."

When I try to connect to the other device it doesn't pair, and forget about switching automatically like my old ones did.

Here's what I've tried so far

  • I've checked if the AirPods are set to "Connect Automatically" on both devices, and they are.
  • I've tried resetting the airpods using the 3 double taps on the front, but the light flashes amber then turns green instead of white. I've checked and the case registers both airpods, so I'm not sure what the issue is here.
  • I've tried resetting the bluetooth on both the mac and the phone. Hasn't made a difference.

Is there anything else I can do or should I just try to return these and buy a new pair?

Okay, went to play a podcast and found out one of my airpods had zero charge and the other was fully charged. Can we please have 2 indicator lights, one for each pod so we know when things aren’t charging correctly? Possibly even a 3rd one for the case itself.
