Why didn't i buy these sooner?! They are fantastic!

I have listened to more music this year than I have done for a decade!

UberTiger · 18 Jun 2017 at 23:36

I'm stilling missing one ear pod, so no wireless music for me for the last couple of weeks

I need to get a stick or something and poke around under the kitchen cabinets...

Listening to music with just one AirPod in is something I didn’t think I needed until I got these last week.

Much better than having an ear phone flapping around and leaking sound.

Can you do that with these? Thought you had to have both in for them to work?

UberTiger · 22 Jun 2017 at 14:29

Nah, it just auto pauses when you take one out. You can instruct it to start playing again though

pioneer2000 · 22 Jun 2017 at 14:31

Can you only take one out of the case to begin with (so you don't have any issues with autopausing)?

Yes, it will still auto pause if you remove the single AirPod though and it won’t auto resume if you put it back.

But for just listening with one in you can just take one out, put it in and start your music.

A nice touch is that if you're only using one AirPod, you get mono sound.

Ordered a pair from very.co.uk yesterday ago so they should be here tomorrow. Have heard so many good things about them and almost no one saying they don't like them.

Got them and though my iphone is off getting repaired at the moment they are pretty awesome. Just wandering around the flat with them in is great. They are really comfortable which I assumed they would be because I like the wired version but just getting rid of the wire makes the world of difference. No cable drag, getting the cable snagged on stuff or risking pulling the phone out of my pocket when the cable gets caught.

I used to find the cable would also naturally get sort of dragged down when I was walking with the headphones in and I would have to pull the cable up every few minutes to stop it pulling on the headphones in my ear.

Suffice to say I am really happy with them so far.

Managed to get some from Argos, I love them. Pretty good sound quality considering their size, they work so well and easy to switch between my Macbook and iPhone.
Really well designed by Apple, wish they came in a Space Grey colour though.

Is there any way to keep one Airpod going when I pull one of them out? My audio stops whenever I take one of them out my ear.

I don't think so because that's working as intended. I've got mine set so that a double tap starts and stops playback so if I take one out and want to carry on listening (in mono), all I do is double tap the remaining airpod and it carries on.

Good idea. I'm hoping with the next version of Airpods Apple works out how to include some sort of 'stroke' touch on the stick bit to allow for volume control, that would make these things perfect. With iOS 11 I'm planning on doing double tap right/left for skip/back.

I'm still not completely sold on the idea... I don't really like how they look + the lack of isolation. The continuity, however, does intrigue me.

Feek · 7 Jul 2017 at 09:32

I was the same until I actually got them. I bought them, fully expecting to return them within two weeks. Needless to say, I didn't.

I may have to weaken if I do decide to get a MBP.

I've got a pair of these over the weekend and quite like them apart from calls where the quality is just a horrible hissing mess, there is a constant background hiss to the audio in calls and its quite off putting. Its not there in media or music just calls. My Jaybird Freedom don't have this problem so it must be something with the airpods or that I'm sensitive too so thinking about returning them. I've checked the firmware and they are on the latest and they are using my iPhone 7.

Spit · 12 Jul 2017 at 22:25

I have no problem with calls.

Feek · 13 Jul 2017 at 07:40

I use mine daily for calls and no issues with a horrible hissing mess at all.

Irish_Tom · 13 Jul 2017 at 13:11

Nope, no hissing here either.

I have found that the left Airpod doesn't always connect though — The right is always fine but sometimes I have to put them both back in the case, then put the left one in first in order to get them both working…
