Support for āHey Siriā. More gestures to trigger actions (ideally Iād like to be able set mine up so I can skip forward thirty seconds, skip back thirty seconds, go to the next and previous chapter/song, so four action options).
My ears are just not made for earbuds, so I donāt use any including AirPods. I would love it if Apple would sell over-ear headphones but as there arenāt any recent rumors I donāt hope for much. Also I love my Sony WH-1000MX3.
Honestly if they just added native Siri integration I would be happy. Some better noise isolation would be welcome as well. Overall though, I am very satisfied with them. I think any improvements apart from Siri integration I probably wonāt upgrade.
But then again I said that about my 10.5 iPad Pro and now I have the new 12.9
I really wish (having used them since Christmas 2018) that they would stay in my ears, earbuddyz help but they are too uncomfortable and donāt allow to be put in the charging case without being removed. Otherwise I love them.
I love the AirPods and use them constantly throughout the day.
My wish is volume control; physical gesture, like moving your finger up or down on the AirPod. Or could program the taps.
Not sure I understand what more Siri could do with the AirPods specifically. It is like I am using Siri on the iPhone. She responds pretty good, and with the AirPods I use Siri more.
When you do āHey Siriā itās actually going to your phone not through the AirPods. If they had Siri integration you could say āHey Siriā without the phone nearby or in your pocket.
If I could only make ONE change it would be a simple one: Better fit in my ears.
Until now Iāve screwed them in to make sure they stay in, and the stems stick out of my ears and look even funnier than they usually do.
Past couple of days Iāve experimented with just hanging them out of my ears. They look normal and are more comfortable but Iām worried theyāll fall out.
Do they actually fall out for you, though? I had to learn that they would feel loose but not actually fall out. I wouldnāt mind slightly grippier outer material, of course.
They have not yet fallen out. Couple of times Iāve adjusted them when they felt TOO loose.
Theyāre quite comfortable this way. I could literally wear them all day. And I hear ambient sound around them too (which most people consider a negative but I consider a plus). Iām hoping this experiment works.
Iām not too concerned about losing one. I figure if it falls, Iāll just pick it up. Canāt go far. However, I am usually wearing the AirPods while walking the dog and Iām concerned the dog will see the AirPod hit the ground and think āYUM! TREAT!ā Iāve already lost one AirPod to a similar incident.
After more thought, I think the improvement Iād most like to see is better Find my Phone capability. Maybe Iām doing it wrong, but if I misplace the case, I want to locate the case with sound using the AirPods inside. It doesnāt work that way and the AirPods will only be located when theyāre pulled out the case, which isnāt going to happen if they fall into a laundry basket. I realize that the case preserves battery by not communicating with paired devices, but Iād like it to at least try to phone home every five minutes or so.
