Are you getting the new Apple Airpods? Why or why not? Are you getting them with the wireless charging case?
I don't know. I am so tempted, but I don't know if I like how they fit.
Preordered mine today but without the wireless case since I don't care about that option right now. The reason I chose to upgrade is the charging case for my original AirPods isn't holding a charge very well past the 50% threshold, the left AirPod only will no longer charge to 100%, and the overall battery life has greatly diminished due to heavy daily usage. I was already in the market to get a new pair anyway so why not upgrade for the same price as the original. Got my money's worth out of my 21 month old AirPods as I put those things through the ringer daily!!
If you have old Apple earbuds, cut off the cord and walk around with it for a while.
Now imagine that the AirPods (2) fit slightly better .
Did you get the free engraving on your AirPods case?
Nah I passed on it! The case is slippery and I really need an AirPods case holder so I think I'll get that instead.
Oh okay. But you do know the engraving was free.
Anyone know if they’ve given the AirPods a better “grip,” say, a slightly rougher or more adhesive surface? It was rumored, but I would guess not. None of the silicone sleeves or covers work very well and/or fit into the charging case.
No don't tell me this as I was planning to buy a charging case holder...bummer! Oh well now I wish I would've gotten my new charging case engraved if that's the verdict on the silicone sleeves.
If you want the engraving done,
I would call Apple and see what your options are because the delivery date is still the same as it was this morning.
Well, it’s /my/ verdict based on experience with the AirPod 1. There is one set of silicone covers that supposedly will allow you to charge the pods in the case, but the reviews on Amazon say they are difficult to put on and don’t last.
AFAIK, the dimensions of the original pods and the new ones are the same, and their cases are interchangeable.
All I was asking was whether the surface texture of the pods had changed so that they might stay in the ears better. So far, I haven’t heard, but presume that it hasn’t changed.
