and this folks is why I will never buy airpods. for $249, I can get 8 pairs of these: https://electronics.sony.com/audio/headphones/in-ear/p/mdrex... have purchased 4 already, happy with my decision
Speaking of AirPods, do people have bad experience with their quality? I have an AirPods Pro 1st Gen for about 3 years and the noise cancellation function has degraded to the point of unusable. The Apple store technician said the audio hardware has failed diagnostic and it couldn't be repaired. For a $250 equipment failed after 3 years of moderate usage is pretty disappointing.
I found some AirPods on a remote trail awhile back, case and all. Batteries were completely dead. Once charged they paired to my iphone with no indication of a previous owner, besides the device name of John’s AirPods or whatever. I tried briefly (not as hard as the author) to figure out who they belonged to but had no luck. I called Apple support and gave the serial number, but they told me there wasn’t anything the…
So you scripted sending the message to 84 different numbers, was that from your own personal iMessage account? I would be terrified of doing something like that, I imagine the account could get flagged for spam, and hearing the various tech horror stories, I wouldn’t be surprised if it could end up suspending your iCloud account with everything on it, blacklisting hardware devices linked to it, and who knows what els…

Wouldn’t it make sense for Apple to have a “send anonymous message to the owner” option on that info page?

One of my AirPods is weirdly quiet. I know it still has the potential to be loud, as I’ve gotten it to be at the same level of noise as the other, but it’s hardly consistent. I’ve tried cleaning it and it didn’t seem to help, but I may just try again. Definitely a shame, but I got them for free so I won’t complain too much though. (If they were fully repairable this wouldn’t be a problem though.)
After that terrible experience i couldn’t justify the expense of buying an other apple airpod.
A week later, I got a Find My notification that they had been spotted – at the same sports field. I figured what the hell, put on a podcast and drove the hour to see if I could find them. Worst case scenario, a couple of hours of driving.
Using Find My and the directional feature points you in the right direction to within feet, I found them in the tall grass.
The case had been perfectly watertight, and they'd barely lost a percent of power in a week. Remarkable really all round.

I went to an Apple store to see if I could get them replaced since I knew there was a recall on one version. They refused since mine was the version that came out after the recalled version.
That soured me on AirPods. Luckily it was a work-issued pair, so they were free.
