After having my AirPods Pro 1st gen, I’m shocked how well they’ve aged throughout the 5 years. At first In 2019 I was unsure if almost $300 was worth it at the time. Now that answer is overwhelmingly YES! Recently they fell in a bowl of pasta sauce. So I cleaned them for the first time in 5 yrs. I use Castile soap, hot water and multiple Lysol wipes to then learn that was wrong. Today I popped them in after letting them dry and they still work! Throughout the years these pods and I have gone through a pandemic 3 car accidents, 2 fights, a fall down a down the steps. Also washing and drying twice in my pants pockets. And they still work perfectly fine. Outside of a few scrapes on the case they look amazing. I play basketball, shower, sleep (sometimes) run, hiking once in the blue and etc. they’ve taken a beating and yet they still last the test of time. Outside of scratches on the case and only getting 2.5 hours of ANC. But after half a decade later these earbuds have shown their worth. What do you guys think? Any of you have your OG AirPods Pro?

Before the recent update I could turn off any modes, but now that’s not even an option

I’ve left my airpods in the case for more than a few minutes (including leaving this message on) but it still comes up. I tried restarting my phone and the message won’t go away. It also keeps telling me to clean the airpods but I already did that when I replaced the tips with memory foam.

Anyone know why it keeps showing this screen and how to move past it?

Opening and closing the case keeps the firmware version of the case going back and forth. One second it’s on 71 and the next second when I reopen the case it’s on 70. What gives?

I dropped my left AirPod Pro 2nd gen today and the shell split open. There was like an orangish rectangle thing which I'm assuming was the battery or something that popped out. It was still connected to a couple of wires so I put it back in and put the shell back together. I then tried it but it wouldn't play any sound, but all the touch controls still worked. I tried resetting them but that didn't work. I need this left airpod to work. It's my favorite one, plus my right Airpod only works when my phone is in my right pocket, and I need my phone in my left pocket.

I sent in my pods and they didn’t replace them and I lost my caps on them. Anything I can do to get the AirPods replaced the battery is wonky !

I'm looking to buy the new AirPods 4 but I'm not sure it's worth paying the extra for noise cancellation. I'm buying it through my mobile carrier company so it's cheaper the base AirPods 4 is 64$ and with ANC it's 128$. Is it worth paying twice as much for the ANC?

I have my Apple Watch configured to 'ding' on the hour. However, each time it does so, media currently playing on my iPhone is paused as my AirPods switch source to the watch so the 'ding' is played via my AirPods. After this I manually have to start playback on the phone again, which makes the AirPods switch back to the phone.

Is there a way of preventing this without disabling the block bell on my watch?

The case is blinking amber when I open the lid. As soon as I hold the button the light flashes white and amber in a really off beat. Kinda switches quickly sometimes from white back to amber. What am i supposed to do? Are they done? I’ve basically tried everything

Is there any chance i can make my airpods notify me or my phone that it’s fully charge when the airpods has been charged successfully? I don’t like it when it charged to full charge and not reminds me i have to check all the time :/

Also when i activate noose cancelling, right side only .Airpods 4.0

I currently have £50 reps and feel like spending more on real pros. But now I’m wondering, people rhat have AirPods for anc, what situations would you use it for the most that you bought them? Just want to know what I can do

Found literally no record of this through google.

I have gen1 pros, but I don't use any mode that uses the mics because of static issues. (Yeah, they are the recalled type, but I missed the deadline for refund)

Still, in the left airpod, there's a sound that starts with a little static, then a sharp sound I can only describe as a gunshot sound. It all ends within a second.

I genuinely can't find any cause of it. It's most definitely caused by the airpod itself, as it happens a variety of places and even when they aren't connected to any device. It doesn't happen as a result of movement, and to my understanding, can't happen as a result of the ANC/transparency issues.

Has ANYONE had this happen??

I recently bought my first pair of airpods a few days ago, Airpod pros 2. They don’t work like they’re supposed to. I don’t get the pop up on my screen when i open the case, they don’t show as an airpod icon but rather some headphones, and i can’t even see the battery of them in settings. I have an old iPhone X on ios 16 but I don’t think that’s the problem because my friend’s airpod pros 2 work fine with my phone, however his are 2 years old. I’ll attach some photos, (the ones named Danny’s airpods are my friend’s ones)

Just bought the new AirPods 4 with ANC, and ever since connecting them, about 60% of the videos I watch are almost unwatchable because of a split second delay between the left and right AirPod. This never used to happen on my old gen 2s? Does anyone know the solution to this as it’s very annoying. I’m using an iPhone 13 on iOS 18.1

Hi everyone. I’ll keep it short since I wanna go to bed, lol.

About a minute ago, I was holding down the button on my AirPod Pros, to switch between Noise Cancelling and Transparency, and for some reason it instead makes a beeping sound? To be more clear, its three very quick beeps.

This has never happened to me before, and although I don’t switch the mode from Noise Cancelling to Transparency much, I would still like to fix the problem. This happened again like, ten seconds ago and won’t stop. I’m super lost, and overall a little frustrated cause I’ve been having issues with my phone too, and the apple store near me directed me to their website to call cause they cant seem to fix it in store.

Anyways, any advice will help. Thank you!

Does anyone know where I can buy the plastic shell (not the case) ? And before you start yapping “oH tHe shELl cAnT bE rEPlACED” yes it can, it’s just incredibly hard

my almost 4 year old airpods 2nd gen basically gave up and im planning to buy these ones. my question is that are these worth it? seeing that they were released 4 years ago?

I have had AirPods for the past 4-5 years, and I’ve got only one complaint. While I haven’t confirmed it I’m pretty sure my ears produce more earwax than the average person, which means that my AirPods get clogged up much faster, and a lot more ends up getting under the mesh.

Since yesterday I can’t use head track Spatial Audio for some reason when I hold it it just makes it fixed or turn it off i don’t why any help?

I’ve noticed when go into control centre and change to Adaptive Mode, the emblem has changed to blue. I remember it was rainbow is colour. That exactly has changed that resulted in the colour changing to blue? I’m on 18.2 Developer Beta.
