    I imagine a foam ear plug can help when wearing a single APP. I've been doing just that opposite my Plantronics Voyager 5200; a one-ear piece with boom mic. I've generally been keeping foam earplugs handy during travels, in the case of noisy people sitting within earshot.

    I stand corrected, as does MacRumors, regarding a 3 hour charge in 15 minutes. APP only gets 1 hour of use after a 15 minute charge. In hindsight, APP is perhaps not the right product for one who wishes to use headphones continuously for up to 14 hours of use. Given the static nature of seated...

    Airpods pro

    Per MacRumors review, copied and pasted: A fully charged case will provide AirPods with more than 24 hours of listening time, or up to 11 hours of talk time. If you charge AirPods for 15 minutes in their case, you get up to 3 hours of listening time or over an hour of talk time.

    There are lots of portable power banks out there in various capacities to keep a pair of APP operational on flights of varying distances.

    You can buy one pair of one size. I learned that once I landed on the ordering page. How I got to the ordering page was following the instructions written on this page: https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/buy-replacement-airpods-pro-ear-tips/

    I ordered replacement tips from Apple. Expressly for modification experiments. Bummer was that I was only allowed to buy one pair of a chosen size, instead of going for a few sets in order to have reserves on hand. The system is setup for only getting one pair at a time. But I learned why it...

    I discovered that exchanging IPP eliminated my inability to obtain a seal. Which suggests that something else went wrong in my original pair and that tips or biology were less likely the culprit. My launch day set sealed as one would expect. During ensuing days, it started not sealing, which...

    Apple AirPods Pro And NEW AirPods Pro 2nd Gen (from 23 Sep 2022) - Impressions

    I felt that way also and I only imagined what it was going to be like once it gets real cold outside and its effect on case removal and handling. Then I came across this at a Mac oriented site that showed how the designers intended the IPP to push and swivel upwards for easier case removal. See...

    Beoplay E8

    I noticed left drop-outs occurring on my E8s when on the streets of NYC. As opposed to railroad or subway, during which I experience no drop-outs using E8.

    Beoplay E8

    My only hiccup lately is needing 2 presses to make it pair, rather than 1 press. Otherwise, my apparently freak E8's have been operating well enough, and sounding rich enough, that I've not bothered looking elsewhere. Also, for me it's all about listening on the go while bypassing wired...

    Beoplay E8

    Maybe A/B test synch issues with a wired pair versus E8. I've not experienced synch issues, though lately I'm into explosive action fare with minimal dialogue. Nevertheless, I shall be on the lookout for any lag between tripping the explosive and the resulting detonation. :)

    Beoplay E8

    Spiral dots are not that isolating. Final Audio E series tips isolate very well considering it's not a Comply or Olive. Of the Comply, I'm liking the small size comfort. Strange, because in many others, I'm a medium.

    Beoplay E8

    I'd like to check that one out. Just installed the update. Sounds great. This is one satisfying true wireless IEM.

    Beoplay E8

    I'm realizing how rich the Beoplay E8 sound without a perfect seal. I've been testing with Spiral Dots in Medium and they're mounted now. Seal's not perfect. I hear the murmur of people talking several seats down on the railroad. But turning on my sound and elevating volume they are less...

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    Not for anything, but I bought a low-name semi-wireless IEM November of last year for $30.00 and its sound made me think twice about keeping the Beoplay E8 that came after it in December. (Not to throw shade on the Beoplay ...) ;— D (it's all in the minor details, folks!) The November...
