Earlier quoted context omitted.
Should probably wipe them off before putting them in the charger...
"Just avoid holding it in that way"
An expectation that you wipe your sweat off something before putting it away doesn't seem that unreasonable.

#62The new case should have come with a USB Type-C connector, not a lightning one.
Re: AirPods
#63Can a single AirPod be used, to maximize talk time and have access to ambient sound?
Yes, you can just use one at a time and it'll route audio input/output accordingly. They charge pretty fast in the case, too, so you could go a long time switching between each one at a time.
For long calls I often alternate them, charging one while I talk on the other one.
If you’re playing music or podcasts, removing one from the ear will pause the playback by default, and you have to tap play again. But with phone calls, the call just continues if you remove one for charging.
Re: AirPods
#64Why is this still only available in white?
Aftermarket black is available for $100 or DIY with electrical tape on stem.

Re: AirPods
#65> Put them in your ears and they connect immediately, immersing you in rich, high-quality sound. Just like magic. I completely disagree with this. It isn’t magic at all. Mine hardly ever work this smooth. Especially transitioning from my iPhone to MacBook Pro. I constantly have to go into bluetooth, manually select them, and even that usually takes a few tries.

I disappointedly agree (just got a pair for my birthday a couple of weeks ago). It occasionally works as advertised, but most of the time it's about the same as any other bluetooth headset.
Re: AirPods
#66I really believe the AirPods are an amazing New platform.. I think people are far more on the go lately and so the AirPods are a perfect way to consume content, that isn’t just music. It started as a silly joke that everyone made fun of but now, at least where I live in NYC, seemingly everyone on every train has them on.
I am a little disappointed in Apple for not adding storage to these though, it wouldn’t be very hard to add a few gigabytes to them and then they would work even without your phone and it would be the iPod all over again. Missed opportunity by Apple for sure.
As a shameless plug I am working on what I think is the perfect companion App for iPods. My app let’s you listen to any article by using some amazing sounding Machine Learning models to grab the articles and convert them to audio. You can check it out here if you like:
Re: AirPods
#67All it takes is one odd jostle on your morning commute, and suddenly your $150 headphones fly down a storm drain. Why can't we have high quality wired headsets?
You can use airpod strap. E.g. https://www.spigen.com/products/airpod-strap?variant=2760025...
IF those had an option of being the 'wire' in a wired set - like... a detachable wire for convenience in both directions - that would be the best of both worlds. I'm meaning like... airpods that could also accept a physical input, and work wired or wireless. Wireless for convenience, wired when needed.

What do you see as being the ideal UX for switching between devices?
Re: AirPods
#69I love my AirPods but I am close to taking mine to the store again to be replaced for a second time. I wear them every day to listen to podcasts as I run for 30 minutes. The accumulated sweat has corroded the charging contacts in the case. I am currently working around this by charging them in my girlfriend's case. Amusingly, the instructions for AirPods say to not get them wet. I don't know how one could exercise ri…
OK I'm really impressed that they stay in while running. Do normal apple earbuds fit your ears really well as well (for me they are the worst earbuds shape-wise of all time), or is it just the design of the airpods that is helping here?
the ear fit is about the same. They do not shift around because there’s no torque available to do it. The lack of a cable means that that long wire of mass doesn’t exist and can’t tug them out.

Yes, I also have connection issues constantly even just on my phone with Spotify - I was wondering if it was semi-intentional on their part to push people to Apple music for a more seamless experience but looks like it's just bad UX
