I just upgraded from the AirPods 4 (Non-ANC) to the AirPods 5 (base variant with ANC), and trust me guys, it's so fucking amazing!

I've never owned AirPods with ANC before, and I haven't tried the AirPods Pro 3 either, so this is my first proper experience with noise cancellation.

It's literally been a few minutes, and I'm already in love with them. I genuinely didn't expect ANC to make this much of a difference.

If you've never owned AirPods with ANC and are considering upgrading, I HIGHLY recommend trying them.

Man, I've been missing out all this time! 😭

i was doing laundry and i didnt realize my airpods were in my pocket. they were in there for about an hour or two, would this be fixable?

Hey! How have your AirPods Pro been holding up? 😭 Mine broke just one month after I bought them 💀 I mainly use mine for commuting and running, so I’m wondering if yours have been reliable!

On my AirPods Pro 3, the sound is unbalanced, biasing the left after some time of listening. It happens quite rarely, but enough for me to notice (maybe like one or times a week). Additionally, sometimes when toggling between ANC and transparency, the activation is delayed. You can tell that the left side becomes noise cancelling or transparent faster than the right. For the sound imbalance, it's not because of debris or anything else because a) they're new (month old) and b) if I disconnect and reconnect bluetooth, the sound is balanced again.

This is the second time both of these issues (unbalanced sound and unbalanced ANC/transparency) have happened, as my previous pair I had replaced also had this issue.

The store worker said that if it happens again it may be due to the device I'm using it with which could be true as even though I paired them originally with my iPad Air M3, I use the AirPods 99% of the time on either a Windows laptop (Lenovo) or my Samsung S25 Ultra phone. Does anyone else have this, is this normal (hopefully not) and what should I do?

Hey all,

So, I just purchased a pair of Airpod 5's and have paired them to my iPhone 10S running iOS 18.7.10 (the latest iOS it can). There are 2 odd issues I've noticed.

The first one is if I look at the information of the Airpods under the Bluetooth section and I see them being identified as "ACCESSORY_MODEL_NAME 48" under "Model Name" however the "Model Number" does show up correctly as A3439 and "Version" is 9A350 (if that means anything).

The second issue is that the Airpods don't seem to appear in my Find My account (should they?) and if I try to manually add them, they fail.

I'm wondering if I'm doing something stupid here (as these are the first set of Airpod's I've ever owned) or whether it's just because I'm on an older iPhone and not on the newest iOS. Would appreciate any feedback on this one.

Cheers!

The ol’ original ones, not the pros. All of the newer model airpods feel very uncomfortable to me and fit poorly, i have tried basically everything and returned them… I only like how the original ones feel. I have small ears anyway. I’ve held onto the ones I’ve had for many years now, and they’re just totally shot. They die fast and one is much quieter than the other no matter how much I clean it. The problem is, it seems they don’t make these anymore? I’m struggling on where to buy them. I’ve been very hesitant because it seems on eBay theres a lot of listings that seem fraudulent and too good to be true. I’d also prefer new sealed ones… don’t know what to do 😭

The case loses charge rapidly. 2 -3 days of moderate use with no anc or transparency mode etc.
have tried the usual fixes like resetting and all.
Got it last January so warranty is up

Any idea what might work?
This is just so disappointing

Me compré los AirPods 5 a dos días del lanzamiento y poco después empecé a tener problemas con la cancelación de ruido o al activar el modo ambiente. En específico después de un rato usándolos el audífono izquierdo empieza a hacer un chasquido o un sonido tipo “viento”. Me es extraño que siga pasando porque es el segundo par que llevo ya que los primeros me los cambiaron en el Apple Store
A alguien más le sucede esto? A lo mejor y es un problema de conexión en concreto con el móvil que estoy usando (IP 17 Pro)

so i lost my airpod like a week ago and bought a replacement, but the replacement side won’t update and only one side works, is there any fix for this ??

I’m on iOS 27.0.1 and the low power sound is driving me crazy. There is no way to change it

So I had lost one of my AirPods( left ear AirPod 4). And I found out that you can actually order a single replacement identical (same model and side) AirPod on the Apple website for about $69 instead of ordering a completely new pair from Amazon for like $130. So I ordered the new Single replacement but it only connects to my iPhone as a new single air but I want to be able to connect it with the right side to make a complete pair. Does anyone have any experience doing this?

4s didn’t fit me good but loved em otherwise.

I’ve had the AirPods Pro 2 for years and I think they’re finally dying. The sound has been pretty bad on phone calls and they have been dying a lot quicker than before. Just curious to know if anyone with lightning pros got serviced and just replaced with type C.

I’ve been having my AirPods for a while, but I’ve been wanting newer ones for awhile. I’m stuck between the AirPods Pro 3 and the new AirPods 5.

It’s so hard to clean it…

I’m devastated, the black dust or whatever getting inside the case, if it doesn’t get clean right away, it leaves a permanent black spot!

I’m 100% sure that right after opening Live Translation, some unsupported languages showed up for a second, including Polish, my native language. That one really surprised me.
I didn’t get a screenshot in time, but I swear I’m not making this up. Did anyone else notice this? Please tell me I’m not going crazy.

AirPods Pro 3 Beta 9B43a

One of my air pods is perfectly fine and the other one has a constant beep whenever it’s in my ear???? I have no idea what the issue is

my recommendation is not to get it if u have small ears and u like to workout with it thats all im gonna say

I bought the AirPods Pro 3. Everything is great. However, I noticed that when I run and start to sweat, I hear some static-like noises—kind of like the sounds a hearing aid makes, like whistling or hissing. Has this happened to any of you? If it's a common issue, has Apple already commented on it?

It's so annoying that I have to take my headphones off. And no, I don't have the hearing aid function turned on.

Hi,

Hoping for some advice…I bought my wife some AirPods 5 to replace an older version whose battery life became insufficient.

She has mentioned issues when using teams on a windows laptop. First the volume was too low, she fixed that but then the mic wouldn’t work, she’s fixed that and now the volume is too low again.

Works fine on her iPhone, works fine when I’ve tried playing YouTube. It just seems like teams is affected.

Anyone got any ideas?

whag do i do
