They sound like shit, the noise cancellation is disturbing (the other modes are also unsettling), and the left one hurts my ear hole after only a few minutes. I already printed the return label. This is the first time I have ever returned an Apple product.

Did you update the firmware? I saw a review saying they had a really important update available immediately. Also if one of them hurts one ear have you tried a smaller tip in that one ear?

Not an Apple fanboy, still rocking the 1st gen APP and an iPhone X, but Apple have recently gone for the “release then fix” tactic which has worked so badly for the gaming industry.

Firmware is up to date. They were connected to power and my phone and in the closed case before I listened to music, so it should have been up to date then too

DESCRIPTION: A space for anyone who uses Apple products, appreciates what they get right, and wants to talk plainly about what they don’t. This is a friendly place for healthy criticism. You don’t have to love the company. You don’t have to hate it either. If you want honest discussion about Apple hardware, software, ecosystem choices, design decisions, frustrations, or pleasant surprises, you’re welcome here.

RULES: This is a place for:

Thoughtful critique, real-world experience, and respectful disagreement
Sharing tips, solutions, workarounds, and overlooked features
Questioning decisions without turning everything into a complaint thread
Welcoming users at any level of experience or enthusiasm

This is not a place for:

Trolling, pile-ons, or knee-jerk negativity
Brand loyalty debates
Personal attacks, sarcasm aimed at other users, or rhetorical grandstanding
Gatekeeping based on technical skill, platform history, or product ownership
Derogatory references to cults or fanboyism. I don’t actually believe those things really exist anymore. If you wanna talk about them in a historical context, that’s totally fine.

You use Apple. You think about it. (Maybe you think different). That’s all it takes to participate here.
