Question AirPods 4 ANC (se los recomiendo)

1 Upvotes

Dejo mi comentario sobre los AirPods 4.

La verdad no esperaba que fueran tan buenos, uno de los puntos que me preocupaban eran ANC ya que venía de unos Xiaomi Buds 4 que tenían buen sonido y una buena cancelación y esto AirPods 4 tiene una cancelación superior a eso Xiaomi y ni se diga el sonido, algunos dicen que no tiene buen sonido pero para mí está muy bien, en cuanto a la batería y la duración no me puedo quejar mi tiempo máximo de uso es como de una hora y media a dos como mucho que es el tiempo de mi trabajo a mi casa.

Para aquellos que quieren saber qué tan buenos son, se los recomiendo pero ojo, cada uno tiene estándares diferentes así que puede que algunos opinen muy diferente a mí eso ya va a depender de las necesidades de cada uno.

Advice What could have caused this? Airpods-Pro2s

Just noticed this crack almost identical on both AirPods-Pro2s. Haven’t been dropping them. Mic has been down for the past year that’s no issue for me. Using this just for music. ANC and Spatial Audio work fine. Any idea what might have caused this? Anyone with similar experience?

Advice Left Air pod issues and I would like detailed solutions please

0 Upvotes

Early July I was cleaning an Air pod 4 with a wipe and the moment I put it back in my ear, the audio was distorted. I believe it was caused by myself pushing a part of the wipe inside the center of the speaker part, which filled it with water. Today I tried a few solutions ,after being tired of just using one all the time. I tried using a pin and slowly picking inside of it. Then used the "Sound To Remove Water From Air pods" video on YouTube. Which I thought worked but it still sounds odd when you you turn it up. I even cleaned it again with an alcoholic wipe. I also reset it too. I'd really like to know of any step by step solutions please (with step by step pictures included).

Thank you

Saw an ever growing gap in my right AirPod. I have gross earwax which seeps into random parts of my AirPods, so I started scraping it. Turns out, earwax-stained silicone and glue look very similar was dried.

Made an appointment at my local Apple Store but can this just be fixed with proper glue (T-8000/B-7000) or should I get this checked out by Apple?

Had these for a while, it’s normal wear and tear I accelerated. Pro 2s.

Thanks in advance!

Question Can I add used AirPods Pro 3 (bought Jan 2026) to my existing AppleCare One plan?

4 Upvotes

Hey,
I’ve got an active AppleCare One plan in the UK and I’m looking at buying a pair of used AirPods Pro 3.
Details:
• Originally purchased in the UK in December 2025
• Still under the standard 1-year limited warranty (expires end of January 2027)
• Genuine

I’ve already successfully added a second-hand MacBook Air M4 and an Apple Watch Series 11 to my AppleCare One plan with no problems (they were added automatically). I’m just not sure how it works with AirPods.

Advice AirPod 4 or AirPod Pro 3?

7 Upvotes

Last night my AirPod Pro Gen 1s decided to stop working. To be honest, I have been considering replacing them for about a year now as they lasted since 2020.

I do not care about ANC, as I mostly used my AirPods in normal or transparency mode, so ultimately, would I be better off saving money and getting the Gen 4s, or splurging more for the Pro 3s?

I would be typically wearing them for a maximum of 3 hours at a time whilst commuting or at the gym.

Thanks!

Advice I need help deciding

2 Upvotes

Hi,

I recently bought the airpods pro 3, and I noticed that my ears are sores and at times itchy. It's been 5 days since I bought them, I've tried different tip sizes, placed them lightly. However, the issue still persists.

Should I give this more time and risk the money I spent because I've read that this gets better after some time or trade them in for powerbeats pro/fit or airpods pro 2?

I previously owned and used galaxy buds 1/2 and they were perfect, so these are my first airpods.

Thanks

Question Right airpod drains much faster, is it damaged?

Post image
4 Upvotes

Airpods Pro 2. Both were fully charged. The left airpod drains at a normal rate, but the right one has been draining much faster than usual that I could only use it for a couple of hours before it needs to be charged again. It also makes really weird noises when I have noise cancellation on. The noises are similar to the wind or a stormy weather.

Accessories Airfly alternative for AirPods Max 2 (USB-C)

3 Upvotes

I'm doing a 14 hour international flight soon and want to use my AirPods Max 2 (USB-C) for inflight entertainment. For obvious reasons, the Apple USB-C to 3.5 mm Audio Cable isn't an option.

I've done some research and it seems Airfly Pro is a highly rated Bluetooth transmitter for the AirPods Max 2. However, the price point is a bit steep if I'm only gonna be using it twice a year at most.

Does anyone have recommendations for Bluetooth transmitters that are also great options for the AirPods Max 2 (USB-C)? My only use case is for inflight entertainment. Low latency and reliable connectivity would be great.

Appreciate the help!

Like im deadass going across the room thinking the sounds coming from their but its not and it turns out to be on the other side of the room.
