AirPods User Creates Charging Cradle With 3D Printer

It's a dock for a dock :o

Why is this even news??? Slow day?

Oh boy, I smell overwhelming jealousy in that post :eek:

Took me a day to figure out. (duh) but the Air Pod case also fits perfectly on the Apple iPhone (7) dock.

Two'fer!

Sound quality and the need to keep yet ANOTHER device always charged. Throw in a stupid price tag for those two major cons and you've got a bad product.

"Keep yet another device always charged"
So you're opposed to all wireless headphones, then. Your call. Not a universal opinion for sure.

"Stupid price tag"
Earin: $250
Bragi: $250
VerveOne: $250
Elite Sport: $250
Earato: $300
HereOne: $300
AirPods: $160
I guess stupid not so much.

"Sound quality"
I hear they sound fine. Reviews range from fine/okay to better-than-expected. I'm sure you can find one that didn't like the sound. Anyone wanting audiophile quality will either laugh at earbuds or be happy to spend more than only $160. I bet most people are buying earbuds to exercise or be mobile (where audiophile quality is irrelevant), not to sit down to Mozart in a listening room. You've obviously tried them, so what's your experience?

You also didn't mention the tech, which most reviewers and first-handsers marvel at, and the durability which is really impressive.

So far you haven't sold me that they're dismal.

Wut? You're kidding, right? There's tons of useful stuff out there that's 3D printed. But, considering the earpods are actually a dismal product, this should be just another useless 3D printed object.

I'm gonna bite, go the other way, and ask why you say they're dismal. Most early feedback hasn't even been negative, let alone dismal.

That's pretty insulting considering I use other Apple products every single day.

Oh please. One has nothing to do with the other. You came here to bash a product that many enjoy without giving valid reasons and then you bashed the guy who used a 3d printer to create something for his pods. No, face the fact that you have a mean streak and if there were an ignore feature, almost everyone would use it to not see your posts.
