Re: The next generation of AirPods

I just discovered last week that on the Apple TV I can connect 2 apple audio devices at the same time.

Currently staying with the in laws, daughter is sleeping in the same room with us so we couldn’t watch TV.

I connected my wife’s AirPods to the Apple TV to watch tv and noticed I could connect another one, so I borrowed my sister in laws AirPods and connected them and both work at the same time. So now we can watch TV together when daughter is asleep.

It only works with apple audio devices, so looks like I’ll pick up some new AirPods for myself!

Edit: contacted > connected

Do they have active noise cancelling? Also, 6 hours listening is a bad joke, that‘s not even a standard workday. With battery aging that‘s soon not even half a workday anymore.

The pros have noise canceling. 6h non stop in your ears is to much if you ask me, take out em when your eating lunch and they'll be full again when you're done.

They charge super fast. You can get 1 hour of playback from 5 minutes of charging. You can also charge one at a time if you really need them continuously.

Or if you are in the office, they are in their case during meetings or when someone is talking to you at your desk. That's at least what I did when I was still in the office, and I used first gen Airpods which had worse battery life.

"a bad joke" is a silly overstatement - evidently you're in a very small minority there, or people wouldn't keep buying Airpods.
