I would love to buy AirPods one day, but I have just had too many experiences telling someone on Zoom they sound like they’re under water, and they say, “hold on a sec that’s my AirPods.”

If Apple could fix that issue, this would be a nice product!

Unfortunately I don’t know how Apple could ever signal to me that they had fixed that issue.

These will be an insta-buy for me. I've loved my AirPods Pro but the battery life has fallen from when I first got them. I knew that would be the case and I'm not mad about it. I'm excited for the touch control on these as well as the better ANC. Also the case having Find My support will be very nice. I'll finally get the MagSafe case as well since that came out later and I never upgraded.

Just try them, there's a 14 day no-questions-asked return policy.

Anecdotally, I've never had this issue. Is it something that happens often?

Did they fix the microphone? The thing is barely usable because of the random mic error that starts broadcasting outside noises instead of the voice.

I RMAed mine twice and Apple didn’t challenge me so they are well aware of the issue. Naturally the issue came back with the 3rd AirPods Pro but I just won’t bother RMAing at this point.

So is it anyhow addressed in the new model? The other features are frankly insignificant, as AirPods Pro are already nearly as good as it gets for this kind of gadget.

Battery life is nice sure etc but it’s all diminishing returns at this point i thunk
