has anyone else have this problem? It happens so often.

I’m currently using the Nothing Ear earbuds with silicone tips, but I’m thinking about switching to either the AirPods Pro 3 or AirPods 5.
My biggest issue with my current earbuds is the ANC. I rarely use it because it creates an uncomfortable vacuum/pressure feeling in my ears, almost like being underwater.
I have a few questions for people who have tried these AirPods:
ANC comfort: Is the ANC on the AirPods Pro 3 more comfortable than on the Nothing Ear? Does it cause less of that vacuum/underwater pressure sensation?
AirPods 5: Is that pressure sensation less noticeable on the AirPods 5 because of their open-ear design, even with ANC enabled?
Fit: I used to own the regular AirPods 2, and they fit my ears really well. Would the AirPods 5 likely fit similarly, or has the shape changed significantly?

What would you recommend?
Thanks!

can older software br responsible for earphones not working propperly? i run on 18.6.2

charging and data work fine, earphones work on other device.

The H2 chips are already a few years old, I’m wondering when will apple launch their next gen of the headphone chips.

Or given the current manufacturing processes and the processing power needed for noise cancellation in earphones, the H2 chip is already more than enough and actually has performance to spare. Unless they add more hardware features to the earphones, such as an infrared camera, there is no need to update to a newer processor, as they simply do not need that much computing power?

as of today, it seems like my airpods pro 3 case has died without reason for the 3rd time. it does NOT accept charge and days prior to this the battery icon on the iphone widget acts sporadic (when charging it drops to 0 and then quickly charges to its real percentage) i have replaced the airpods case twice via apple through warranty. am i the only one? it cannot have happened to me 3 times without it being widespread?

Considering that these are open ear, the ANC is amazing. I tested them out first inside, and then went straight to walking past a loud road. All I gotta say is, if you don’t like silicone ANC (like I dont), these are perfect.

Airpods 2nd Gen > Airpods Pro 3

managed to score the pro for 163$ locally, ik its not a super good deal but hey it works.

Any case recommendation? that isnt too bulky in the pocket?

You can get Uber Gift cards from Costco worth $200 for $160.

Ordering AirPods from Costco via Uber Eats is $182, so you are left with $18 worth of uber credits.

Best deal right now and the good thing about Costco is that you have AppleCare+ included with it.

I have the APP2, and it's the first one that's really fit well for me (with the comply tips). I do not have a hook on the bottom of my earlobe, so there is nothing for the AP to rest on. Based on that I'm afraid to move from the APP2 until the battery is totally gone. Anyone have similar ears to me with one of the newer APs? Let me know your experience.

I just went to Verizon to upgrade my phone. I thought I grabbed my airpods when I left because I also took my iPad figuring I'd have down time.

When I got in to the Verizon store I did a pocket check and I didn't have my airpods. No big deal, didn't think much of it. Went through and got my phone upgraded, got home...no airpods. The last location is showing at/near the Verizon store. But it's showing from 2 hours ago. My new phone and my iPad both show this location data.

I drove back to the store, parked within the same single parking space, and they hadn't found them (I really didn't think they would) and I've looked through my car. I know they were in my house last night because I was on them right until I went to bed and I plugged them in and charged them.

They're not in the pockets of the pants I wore to the store, not in the pockets of the coat I wore to the store, not where I can see them in my car...not showing any updated location on Find My.

Does anybody have any ideas? I've taken my iPad and my new phone back out to the car as well just in case to see if they'd connect to the case if they somehow fell out somewhere.

I do have the box from when I purchased them. Can anything be done with any data from that?

Ok so by this point after what a year of their release? I’ve put my airpods pro 3s through the most rigorous durability testing by my own sheer clumsiness. I’ve dropped them In rainy gravel, stepped on them in such, ran them over briefly…. photos show chipped areas \:

Now I’ve really done them in by doing laundry and pulling my blankets out the dryer just for one airpod to plop out of the fabrics of spacetime…. then I fish for the other which I hear as I turn the cycler in the dryer. I pick it out and can only think to throw them in the case and hope they just work after I leave em alone. They were warm and dry haha.

Just gave them a full test after charging and wow… like dude these things are so seriously impressive they might sound even better having been spin cycled through a WASHER AND DRYER (like what)! ANC sounds perfect as does Transparency mode. I love these things plus the equalizer in iphone settings that came with ios27 (no need for third party apps or even switching main music apps thank you Apple lol).

Hey, does anyone know what could be causing my right AirPod to be significantly quieter than my left one?
I first noticed this randomly while listening to music. When I use only my right AirPod, I have to turn the volume up to around halfway just to hear it properly, while my left AirPod sounds noticeably louder at the same volume.
The weird thing is that there’s no visible earwax or buildup on either AirPod, and I’ve already thoroughly cleaned them. This started happening out of nowhere, and the issue is still noticeable when I wear both AirPods at the same time, so it’s not just a problem when using one AirPod by itself.
The sound itself is still clear on the right side; it’s just significantly quieter than the left.
Has anyone else experienced this with their AirPod 4’s? If so, were you able to fix it? I’d appreciate any suggestions!

I’ve already tried the L-R balance and even forgetting my AirPods and I tried some other things that I cannot remember.

I recently upgrade from the AirPods 3 (regular) to the new AirPods 5. And while I like the ANC feature it’s not something I need all the time and I often prefer just using the AirPods in “stupid” mode, i.e all smart features including Personalized Audio and Conversation Awareness turned off.
Despite of this, I have noticed when working from home that sometimes when I sing along to a song, something weird happens. It’s hard to describe but it’s sort of like the volume get’s turned down, or that the ANC kicks in slightly. This is only temporary but definitely noticeable. It’s not always symmetric across the left and right airpod either, you can sometimes notice this “effect” happening in a cascading manner from left->right or right->left.

I really don’t know what’s happening. It’s like the mic is always on and some of the smart features are always on even when they shouldn’t be.

recently lost my airpods and tought i would look on find my to see where they were but my problem is that it says they are with me everywhere i go to test if it was true i went outside a few blocks and it kept updating last seen with me even though they werent. i tried searching and it says the location gets pinged via bluetooth and other iphones but it looks like its just tracking my iphone. any tips? if it helps they were gen 2
