Just try them, there's a 14 day no-questions-asked return policy.
They start breaking down after months, not days.

Moreover, it's amazing how they've managed to make a bluetooth accessory that is intuitive to older folks. I never bothered buying my parents bluetooth devices because they'd always end up in the drawer from disuse. They use their Airpods daily and never ask me for help. A wonder.
Not that intuitive imo. I had to show my sister in law who is in her 50's that she needs to leave the case open with the airpods in it, then press the button on the back, in order to make them discoverable. Like all apple products they do sacrifice some discoverability in favor of a sexier minimalist look

There are a couple of articles from the past hour that mention the term, but zero details and zero about it on Apple's website. I'm suspecting the journalists might be wrong? But I'd love to be proven wrong.
I believe you're right. Although the URL still includes "lossless", the claim was just removed from the article itself.

There are plenty of other bluetooth headphones that don't suck... I have literally zero problems with these: https://www.amazon.com/AfterShokz-Open-Ear-Wireless-Conducti... They work everywhere - across my phone, laptop, personal laptop, hell - even my nvidia shield tv. Across Win/Linux/macOS/Android/iOS. Connect just fine - play just fine. Reconnect just fine. Pair just fine. I'm glad you like the Airpods, but damn…
I have seven devices that I use my AirPods with - an iPhone, iPad, Watch, computer, and two AppleTVs. Once I paired them with one device, they are automatically paired with every device connected to my AppleID. They switch seamlessly without me having to do a thing. I also don’t have to decipher beeps to change settings. I can change anything about them visually from any of my devices.
It's wild how much money Apple has made from Bluetooth headphones that don't suck. That's literally it. They're portable, pair easily and (somewhat) work with multiple devices. I have top of the line Bose Bluetooth headphones that still, in 2022, have issues with multiple devices. I can't count how many times I've started playing music on my iPhone only to realize that the headphones think my laptop is playing, so th…
This makes me think of the "What if AirPods was a company?" [0] post from 2019. It's really wild how big that one product is alone. [0] https://jonahlupton.medium.com/what-is-airpods-was-a-company...
Good to know they use computational algorithms to perform ANC! What would we do without the innovators at Apple… In other news, still no support for lossless audio, and the charging port is still Lightning rather than USB-C. Seems like a good time to pick up the 1st gen Pros on discount
You don’t need lossless audio. Seriously. AAC is transparent in all the conditions you’d use these AirPods in. Lossless is a total gimmick and shame on Apple for ever enabling that 24bit nonsense. You don’t have golden ears. You aren’t listening closely while walking around town. Noise cancellation removes some of the frequencies. Lossless would drain battery for literally no gain in quality. Edit: as others have not…
I am no audiophile, and I don’t really care about lossless audio one way or the other, but it seems deceptive to plaster “Apple Lossless” all over the Apple Music app when no Apple headphones can play lossless audio. All the marketing talk about the audio improvements in the H2 chip seems designed to obscure this fact, and to compensate for the fact that the AirPods Pro 2 are technically inferior to other Bluetooth headphones that support lossless playback.

I wish they didn't have a microphone. People on the receiving end of the calls truly suffer when callers use them.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
On the iPhone I turn on voice isolation and 99% of the problem goes away. Have you tried that?
Where is that? I don’t see anything about voice isolation.
I use the voice isolation one and people I've talked to say that it's drastically improved the call quality, particularly while I'm walking next to a busy street.
edit: you can see the setting without actually starting a call, just go into the facetime app and hit "New FaceTime". It will show you a blurred front view camera and let you pick a contact to call, but at that moment you can drag the control center down and they'll be there.
