How Tos, Guides, and Tips for New AirPods, AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max Owners

Come on people, aren't things getting a bit out of hand when earphones have such complexity? Oh for the good old days when all you had to do to hear music was plug earphones into a jack.

Call me old fashioned, but that one advantage does not outweigh all the complexity involved with using these devices. And wireless headphones have existed for a long time and don't involve all the complexity that EarPods have.

It seems I’m picky too, as I'm annoyed by the hiss on the AirPods Pro. Tell me, do you Sonys hiss at all when noise cancelling is turned on? I’m still toying with getting a refund on my APPs...

I don’t actively update firmware, so that’s out...if it does update, it updates automatically. Not complicated.

Recharging? What is absurd or difficult about it? The fact it’s another step?

Learning gestures? I mean, I have no words if that is complex or too much to handle. There are no gestures on EarPods, so is that a positive? You don’t have to use them on AirPods. It’s another option. If you don’t want to learn simple gestures, control your music from the device like you do with wired headphones.

No wires, noise cancellation, complete portability, on device controls, are all new benefits that more than outweigh the dumb headphones that jut play music.

Literally the only drawback is you have to recharge them, but the case holds so much charge it’s like a once per week task, if that.

Complexity isn’t the argument. This isn‘t complex or absurd. You get several tangible benefits in a simple to use package And is why wearables are growing like crazy. It’s better.
