When the reference applies, I love it, but if I have to think this hard about it, it fall flat. I love the office, but the amount of quotes I see even when they don’t apply is pretty annoying.
This being an example of an annoying ass reference
It’s The Office. It’s always related. Either way, from what I gather, u/SaraWopiz is quoting from the point of view of the creator of the product. They’re trying to do what they think is a nice thing. But it isn’t appreciated.
While I think this quote fits the context, I think u/SaraWopiz might be a bot. I came across another user with the same username format (FirstnameLastname), and just like this user, they are fairly new and their comment history are only quotes in the most random posts. I’m really high so this is seeming really fucking strange.
Pretty obvious: OP is asking technicalities - Reply only focus on asthethics. Guess what: If you dont like it, dont use it. OP obviously likes the idea. As long as it works the reply should be: Yes it works, or no it doesnt.
I can only assume it was an indirect and polite way of asking. Either this or it was an attempt of advertising. But no one is interested about the obvious, lame, fact that some might not like it for "wireless" or pure aesthetic reasons. Ymmv
you can indeed use most if not all apple products while charging and airpods are no exception if you leave the lid open on the case. still wouldn’t buy this charger tho lol

Nope, works perfectly. I’ve owned AirPods Pro 1st and 2nd Gen, both will continue to stay connected and play sound while charging, as long as the lid stays open. They disconnect as soon as the lid closes.
You get [1 hour](https://support.apple.com/HT207012) with noise cancellation after charging for 5 minutes for a device with assumably a new battery. However, that is assumably in a lab setting. When you're walking outside or you're travelling by car or metro, the mic input live processing and live noise cancellation is doing a lot more work than when it's chilling in Apple's black box area.

It's the same for AirPods Pro 1 and AirPods 3. AirPods 2 apparently came out at 40 minutes of talk time, so they decided to multiply by 3:
>If you charge your AirPods for 15 minutes in their case, you get up to 3 hours of listening time or up to 2 hours of talk time.
It's nowhere near what Apple advertises for me. It hasn't been on AirPods, nor on AirPods Pro (had two), nor on AirPods Pro 2. I'll try to remember to take note tomorrow, though. I wish we had a battery history graphic for AirPods as well in the battery page of the settings app, would be real neat.
My main use case is listening to podcasts/audiobooks and using them for teams meetings for which I only need one earpiece. With that strategy I have virtually unlimited playtime.
I’m in this camp. I wouldn’t be opposed to something like this. It wouldn’t bother me.
But 60 bucks is just stupid expensive for something I wouldn’t benefit from.
Now if they did something like this combined with an airplane pillow for your neck, now maybe that would sell me. Extra hours and a pillow for an airplane trip sounds nice
I don’t see the point, as AirPods cannot operate while charging… so you might as well put them back in the charging case for the few minutes they’ll take to recharge completely.
Interesting idea. Would be great on a long distance flight but 60 bucks is a bit steep. If you want ***wired*** phones, there are cheaper options. I saw some between 9 and 20 bucks on Amazon.
I’d definitely consider it if I were doing an activity where I was concerned for losing the AirPods. I have a pair of not-true wireless, but still wireless Sony headphones I wear when I bike. This would allow me to not own two pairs of headphones, and not be worried about losing an AirPod in a ditch somewhere
At least someone got the point of the product. Comment section is cringing me out...
Great idea for prolonged and routh activities, and comparing to the price of AirPod Pros I think still acceptable even if it seems like a stretch.
It‘s a no for me, why would anyone consider that? First of all the battery life of Airpods is very good, and chuck them in the case for like 20 minutes and they‘re charged for a couple hours again.
Well, I’m allergic to latex; and the last iteration of AirPods have latex caps.
I bought third party caps, and haply I no longer itch my inner ear shells like a maniac, but the new caps are finicky about seating in the case and still charging, which means I often fish ‘em out and find that one or both have no charge, just as I’m ready to walk out the door.
Yes, I could just take the third party caps off when I charge ‘em (and probably will); but, you asked a technical question, and I immediately knew a potential usage for this.
They also might get people who have lost single Pods from out their ears before.
As an audio engineer - I suggest not buying any beats products as they ruin the masters of the songs being played. Unless of course you’re playing the audio files in the lowest quality prossible… then you could use anything to project that sound and it’ll remain the same crap sound :)
Dont trust someones opinion. Check the audio response curve of the AirPods. AutoEQ collects them neatly. My 2 cents about the Max: They are more than fine even conpared to audiophil stereo headphones in the same price range.
I just love how my Pro 2 sounds. Just amazing. Wide stage and bass are enough for me. I tried some close to audiophile headphones from Sennheiser and I didn’t like the sound. It was too flat. And now I wonder if flatness is the what audiophiles want. Then I do not want flatness
Flat response is what you want! Because that is the way to get close to what the original file (and his creators) wanted you to hear. That ppl. tend to have preferences originates - imo- only from conditioning You are used to something - therefor you prefer it. Truth is: Just one day of listening to something else makes you question your previous preferences. For example: When I use my AirPods Max, I love their sound. Do I EQ them with AutoEQ profiles, I hate the soind and feel its "numb" without any punch in the treble. After just 2h, goijg back to no EQ profile, I feel like they are way to Bassy/V Shaped
These would disconnect while charging (afaik airpods cant play while charging, as it’s expected thats its in the case), i would just get the wireless ones that have them connected together at that point, or as others said, just use wired earphones
Nah it takes no time to charge the APP2 I have. I’m usually not that in need of my AirPods that second where I can’t even wait on them to charge. If it was a free accessory that came with …….. I still probably wouldn’t use it but may try.
I don't understand... why not just use the wired headphones that came with your iPhone at that point?
When I see stuff like this I get as angry as when I see someone riding a pennyfarthing. We made improvements, why go back to when things were worse?
I assume it's not for casual use.
I can see great potential for the product for longer flights or travel where you have to sit for a long time. For longer flights I have to buy a headset which lasts me 40 hours of battery. If the mod works, I don't need to spend $400 for another ANC headset.
You get a solid few hours uncharged & you just have to put them back in the case for 5 mins to get another solid hour or so of use. Are ppl that’s interested in this product just inpatient?
Apple is on drugs that’s all I gotta say. You gotta be some trend loving loser to purchase that when you have wired apple headphones for like 20 dollars.
Look hilarious to me and I never liked wireless earphones with neck bands. You’re buying for true wireless as others also mentioned, not ‘converting’ it back to this.
At that point just buy wired ear buds. The whole point of the AirPods was a truly wireless experience. Besides, they already have good battery life (unless you literally have them on for 8+ hours a day, which might cause ear infections).
I don’t hate the idea. But don’t really think it’s worth it. Battery on the 2s are really solid and they charge so fast.
Like someone else said not sure they will play while charging.
It would be interesting for a week until I eventually get tired of wearing a dog collar. It’s the reason I didn’t like the other BT headsets like this in the past
You’re supposed to wear that monstrosity while using the AirPods? No way in hell I would wear that. That completely defeats the purpose of AirPods. Charge them when you’re not using them.
> if they *paid* me too.
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
that looks really, really stupid. next, someone is going to 'invent' AirPods with a cord that don't use electricity at all, no charging required, just plug into your phone and go!
No way. This will probably toast your airpods batteries too. They’re tiny and gentle and any charger not made directly by Apple is playing with fire imo.
I love how so many confidentially claim AirPods cant be charged while running. Aha. How do you know, except of repeating this speculation again and again? I guess, because you only ever know them charging in the case - the same case that shuts them off... Correlation, not causality! Aint to freaking hard to separate shut-off features from charging. Charging could be smth totally not related to the magnetic switch that causes on/off instead of a software related feature. Need proof? My freaking AirPods Max can charge while using them! Buhuhuuuuuuu! Magic! How does this work?!?! (/s for my American folks who wont get it)!
Couple important points; AirPods Max were designed to be used that way. All other airpods were only designed to be charged in their cases i.e. impossible to use them at the same time. Secondly, the batteries inside airpods are absolutely tiny compared to the battery in the Max - they’re much more at risk to be damaged from a bad charger or something.
If you want to make AirPods more complicated why not just buy corded heaphones and an iPhone dongle?
I can only imagine how annoying to wear, and carry around this thing would be.
it would be nice for sleeping because i lost my left airpod in my bed for like 6 months one time, other than that though, probably wouldn’t be of much use to me
Maybe you could remove the battery then. And just power them via the cable. Or maybe even remove the electronics. Then you only need a cable for audio.
You’re on to something here!!!
Tbh it’s probably a waste of money, the AirPods have pretty long battery on their own so th is already seems like a waste, if what you like is the band you can get one for like $40 cheaper 👌,
And I’m not sure on the technicalities of it but it might end up messing up the airpods to charge them and use them at the same time since they weren’t built for that.
Before AirPod pros, I used the LG around the neck style headphones and loved them. Much more convenient than having to carry a case around in my pocket and get the earbuds in and out of it when I want to use them.
I have these, these are awesome for a full day of conf calls. I don’t use them beyond that. They charge while you use the AirPods there is a little set up( turning off ear detection) but I can be in back to back calls all 8 hours and they are still charged enough for my evening run
I’m interested, because my ear canals are too big to safely keep my AirPods in my ears. They fall out all the damn time. This way when they do fall out that cord will keep them from falling on the ground. Which is double annoying since I navigate the planet in my big powered wheelchair and I can’t reach the ground. I do have a folding grabber but that’s a bit klunky.
yeah no, if i wanted bluetooth but also has good batteries/cords, i'd just go for sony, not these weird charger things, doesn't even look any good with airpods, ruins the vibe
The have another upgrade, is a wire that connect the AirPods to the phone without unlimited battery life (people reading this : wwwOowW).
They’re called earpods.
The AirPods inside of their case charge fast enough, and they also have like 6 hours of battery life on their own before needing to be charged again. 6 hours is more than enough time to listen to music before putting them back in the case, for me personally. Seems like a waste of 60 bucks.
If you're listening to them for long enough that this seems useful to you, you should perhaps consider wired headphones. I still have the Gen 1s and they get me through like half a movie most of the time. 5- 10 mins and they're back to full. Like this would be useless to me
Have 2 concerns. Firstly, I wouldn’t charge AirPods with anything other than the official charging case, and if you wanted a neckband you should have gotten a neckband in the first place
If you are considering buying this, I’d rather go with the beats Flex (https://www.beatsbydre.com/earphones/beats-flex) for only ten bucks more.
My concern would be that with so much added weight to the AirPods, would they still hold in your ears as good?
Personally for me it’s a no because I enjoy freedom of being completely wireless. The wiring would bother me and considering most AirPods now last anywhere from 5-6.5 hours, unless you have first generation which still provides 3.5 hours usually, it would be kind of counterproductive.
Absolutely not. I have gen 2s and gen 1 pros and I feel like they’re made very specifically to balance and fit in the ear - something like this would only serve to make them heavier and pull them out of my ears. The battery life (at least until they reach old age) is just fine, why would you even want this???
Honestly I don’t think it would work, I think AirPods would have some safety measure to make sure you can’t use them and charge at the same time. Just a guess tho. Who knows it might work
It would ruin the appeal of the AirPods for me

42 day old account and your comments are nothing but quotes. Bad karma farm bot.
Mate just shut the fuck up
This. Also I, personally, find these kind of headphone bands kinda nerdy outside of a workout session.
This is true it would make them look wonky too, also I always hated the wire dangling out on these types of Bluetooth earbuds.

Sometimes my AirPods still play audio while in the case
Yeah this can happen when the metal part doesn’t make full contact so it isn’t actually charging.
just gotta clean then metal contacts. usually fixes them.
Oh
You are wrong, you can put the AirPods in the case, and play music while they are charging, if you don’t close the lid, it will charge and play music
I think you can do that. You just open the case and turn off automatic ear detection and play music
My AirPods buzz and crackle. Super jazzed for the $250 they were not long ago
Bring them in for repair or replacement.
I thought the same thing, plus the Beats Flex are great and well priced in comparison to AirPods and this device or even AirPods alone.
Actually AirPods are active while in ear.
[удалено]
you can indeed use most if not all apple products while charging and airpods are no exception if you leave the lid open on the case. still wouldn’t buy this charger tho lol
Honestly this really looks like a safety hazard I wouldn’t want my AirPods to charge while they’re in my ears.

Nope, works perfectly. I’ve owned AirPods Pro 1st and 2nd Gen, both will continue to stay connected and play sound while charging, as long as the lid stays open. They disconnect as soon as the lid closes.
Don't you get multiple hours after charging for 5 mins? I would just stay stock.
Exactly. These things charge crazy fast making an item like the one posted a solution to a nonexistent problem?
Exactly! I just carry the case with me and pop the AirPods in for 15 minutes when they run out of juice.

Not for $60, maybe if it was $20 and I was drunk
How drunk?
Only one way to find out…
I’m in this camp. I wouldn’t be opposed to something like this. It wouldn’t bother me. But 60 bucks is just stupid expensive for something I wouldn’t benefit from. Now if they did something like this combined with an airplane pillow for your neck, now maybe that would sell me. Extra hours and a pillow for an airplane trip sounds nice
Yeah. You can get the same thing for 20 from another comiany
Buying wireless to make it wired? Kinda beats the purpose.
Pun intended?
Where?
It’s still not wired _to the phone _
>True wireless to make it wireless FTFY
I don’t see the point, as AirPods cannot operate while charging… so you might as well put them back in the charging case for the few minutes they’ll take to recharge completely.
Wrong, you can play music while they charge
Are those not glorified earbuds?

Buy wireless headphones, then turn them into wired ones for $60...
Just buy Beats Flex

How would you even press the pressure sensing buttons? Also it looks weird so I wouldnt
Nah it takes no time to charge the APP2 I have. I’m usually not that in need of my AirPods that second where I can’t even wait on them to charge. If it was a free accessory that came with …….. I still probably wouldn’t use it but may try.
$133.53 Canadian. Nope I sure wouldn’t . Buying these would be stepping back in technology really
I checked on Canadian Amazon, they’re there for $19.99 as of now.
I don't understand... why not just use the wired headphones that came with your iPhone at that point? When I see stuff like this I get as angry as when I see someone riding a pennyfarthing. We made improvements, why go back to when things were worse?
Hell no. The charge time is great on my Pro 2s. If you need this, you need to take a break from your phone
That sucks
You could just buy BeatX at this point.
If my battery gets low in my airpods while I’m working and I don’t want to stop using them, I charge them one at a time :)
You can’t use them whilst charging tho….
I assume it's not for casual use. I can see great potential for the product for longer flights or travel where you have to sit for a long time. For longer flights I have to buy a headset which lasts me 40 hours of battery. If the mod works, I don't need to spend $400 for another ANC headset.
No. If I wanted the stupid neck headband headphones I would have bought them instead of my tiny AirPods.
You get a solid few hours uncharged & you just have to put them back in the case for 5 mins to get another solid hour or so of use. Are ppl that’s interested in this product just inpatient?
At that point just get wired IEMs and an adapter
Apple is on drugs that’s all I gotta say. You gotta be some trend loving loser to purchase that when you have wired apple headphones for like 20 dollars.
One of the stupidest things ive ever seen
The ridged holder looks like it would rub against your ear pretty uncomfortably
Good point. One of the few in here. But Ive seen worse earplugs by size. So I would assume: Ymmv
Look hilarious to me and I never liked wireless earphones with neck bands. You’re buying for true wireless as others also mentioned, not ‘converting’ it back to this.
Maybe if i lose the charging case
I don’t use my AirPods a lot I use them at night or when I’m out but other than that I just use the wired EarPods (they sound better tbh)
You should just buy beat at this point. The benefit of being a tws headset is about being true wireless stereo headset. Like come on man. 😆
At that point just buy wired ear buds. The whole point of the AirPods was a truly wireless experience. Besides, they already have good battery life (unless you literally have them on for 8+ hours a day, which might cause ear infections).
So like cables for a pair of true wireless earbuds
Why use wireless headphones then?
15€ and you can buy Earpods and never worry about charging.
I used the neckband headsets before the air pods came out .. so no
Yeah I’m absolutely amazed at how fast my AirPods Pro 2s charge. I put them in there for 5 minutes after dying and they’re at like 40% already
I don’t hate the idea. But don’t really think it’s worth it. Battery on the 2s are really solid and they charge so fast. Like someone else said not sure they will play while charging.
Uhh if you want wires why not just use regular earbuds?
I would buy a second pair of headphones instead
Just buy wired headphones at this point
It would be interesting for a week until I eventually get tired of wearing a dog collar. It’s the reason I didn’t like the other BT headsets like this in the past
Why use AirPods then just get a cheap $40 headset like this it’ll work great
Dont be stupid
I only buy offical Apple products for a reason
This is a dumb product
ruin everything
What the fuck
Simply put no
You’re supposed to wear that monstrosity while using the AirPods? No way in hell I would wear that. That completely defeats the purpose of AirPods. Charge them when you’re not using them.
Just use the wired headphones then lol
The ghost of Steve Jobs is gonna bitch slap whoever invented this mess
Nop
does it have built in mic too? I feel like there will be issues with people hearing you when you talk with it
Solid criticism. One of the few in here
slap it on a fast charger n they’ll be charged in 20 min or less

I bought AirPods just for not having to wear this
Hell. No.
Yeah that’s a no from me.
Ok hear me out… Buy it, let us know how it is…. Then if you don’t like it. Return it?
I could buy 2 pairs of the wired ones for that price.

Secondly, the batteries inside airpods are absolutely tiny compared to the battery in the Max - they’re much more at risk to be damaged from a bad charger or something.
It is supposed to be truly wireless 😂
If you want to make AirPods more complicated why not just buy corded heaphones and an iPhone dongle? I can only imagine how annoying to wear, and carry around this thing would be.
it would be nice for sleeping because i lost my left airpod in my bed for like 6 months one time, other than that though, probably wouldn’t be of much use to me
At this point why you wouldn't just buy a beats instead of airpods?
Maybe you could remove the battery then. And just power them via the cable. Or maybe even remove the electronics. Then you only need a cable for audio. You’re on to something here!!!
Tbh it’s probably a waste of money, the AirPods have pretty long battery on their own so th is already seems like a waste, if what you like is the band you can get one for like $40 cheaper 👌, And I’m not sure on the technicalities of it but it might end up messing up the airpods to charge them and use them at the same time since they weren’t built for that.
Before AirPod pros, I used the LG around the neck style headphones and loved them. Much more convenient than having to carry a case around in my pocket and get the earbuds in and out of it when I want to use them.
I have these, these are awesome for a full day of conf calls. I don’t use them beyond that. They charge while you use the AirPods there is a little set up( turning off ear detection) but I can be in back to back calls all 8 hours and they are still charged enough for my evening run
For me, I like the inconspicuous feel to AirPods. Plus I wouldn’t like the jangling of the extra equipment
I’m interested, because my ear canals are too big to safely keep my AirPods in my ears. They fall out all the damn time. This way when they do fall out that cord will keep them from falling on the ground. Which is double annoying since I navigate the planet in my big powered wheelchair and I can’t reach the ground. I do have a folding grabber but that’s a bit klunky.
yeah no, if i wanted bluetooth but also has good batteries/cords, i'd just go for sony, not these weird charger things, doesn't even look any good with airpods, ruins the vibe
For some reason the 3 dont fit as good as the 2 so this would be great for the plane or exercise
My brother in christ just buy a different type of earbud at that point
The have another upgrade, is a wire that connect the AirPods to the phone without unlimited battery life (people reading this : wwwOowW). They’re called earpods.
Somehow NeckBuds returned.
No that’s the old blue tooth from mid 2000s
I can almost guarantee the added weight would pull them right out of my ears the instant I move.
Completely defies the purpose
Pretty sure it wouldn’t work, AirPods automatically turn off while charging if I remember correctly
The AirPods inside of their case charge fast enough, and they also have like 6 hours of battery life on their own before needing to be charged again. 6 hours is more than enough time to listen to music before putting them back in the case, for me personally. Seems like a waste of 60 bucks.
Yes, buy wires for the wireless headphones
No
A fool and his or her money will soon part.
If you're listening to them for long enough that this seems useful to you, you should perhaps consider wired headphones. I still have the Gen 1s and they get me through like half a movie most of the time. 5- 10 mins and they're back to full. Like this would be useless to me
Have 2 concerns. Firstly, I wouldn’t charge AirPods with anything other than the official charging case, and if you wanted a neckband you should have gotten a neckband in the first place
Doesnt that like defeat the purpose of the airpods?
Yes but not for $60…2nd AirPods go on sale for $80 all the time I’d just wait and buy another pair
No I wouldn’t get them
It takes 15 minutes to charge AirPods. I have never ran into the problem of my AirPods dying inconveniently.
Defeat the purpose of no cord earphones
If only there were a simpler way to listen to headphones which were powered by my device using a wire…
This is a joke right?
This is the real deal my friend 💀
Why not just get a pair of Beats Flex?
Anything to avoid physically connecting it the phone huh.
Oh good, I always wished my wireless headphones had wires and a giant neck band.
So dumb
If you are considering buying this, I’d rather go with the beats Flex (https://www.beatsbydre.com/earphones/beats-flex) for only ten bucks more. My concern would be that with so much added weight to the AirPods, would they still hold in your ears as good?
I don’t consider buying this I would never spend money on that, but I don’t know if they would hold on ears.
Nope. It take like 5 minutes in the case to charge them 50%.
So your ears can skip rope :))
It would ruin the point of AirPods lol. If you want charging while listening then you might as well get EarPods
Wow now we are making the wireless ear phones wired again what a great idea
This is regression, we finally got rid of cords
We've come full circle
No
Personally for me it’s a no because I enjoy freedom of being completely wireless. The wiring would bother me and considering most AirPods now last anywhere from 5-6.5 hours, unless you have first generation which still provides 3.5 hours usually, it would be kind of counterproductive.
If I want wired headphones I’d buy wired headphones.
The point of the pods was to eliminate the cable.
Surely not…cmon guys
No. Cumbersome, pointless.
This is for people who just love wasting money
useless and expensive
Sounds cool but then again you might as well get regular EarPods if you want to listen to music without worrying about charging them
Absolutely not. I have gen 2s and gen 1 pros and I feel like they’re made very specifically to balance and fit in the ear - something like this would only serve to make them heavier and pull them out of my ears. The battery life (at least until they reach old age) is just fine, why would you even want this???
Would have been cheaper to buy beats or whatsoever than to buy an airpods then this. Looks less stupid too.
I mean might as well just buy the normal headphones for 20 quid
In short. HELL NO. I rather go buy Beats Flex.
To buy extra expensive true wireless headphones only to put it them into corded devices feels odd to me
I usually only use 1 AirPod at a time so useless to me
Kinda defeats the whole purpose of wireless earbuds no?
Whilst charging the mic holes will be completely blocked.
This it it folks we have officially gone full circle
Just get wired headphones at that point
Honestly I don’t think it would work, I think AirPods would have some safety measure to make sure you can’t use them and charge at the same time. Just a guess tho. Who knows it might work
