RE: Apple AirPod Max, a moral etiquette question about wearing in public when active outside
Richard, It sounds like a state with ideal weather. I spent a weekend in Portland in June several years ago while presenting at a guide dog conference. The weather was great. No humidity.

I think the cities main elevation is around 150 feet. The hills around here can get up to 1000 or 1200 feet and get a bit more snow, but again that is very rare. We have gone several years with no snow and only a handful of nights that got down to freezing. And, I am not one to wear headphones outside anyway. The number of days that stay at or below even 35° are very few. Summers, we rarely get to 100. So, in reality, around Portland, they are probably going to survive the elements if one wanted to walk around with them. I plan to use them on our back patio when the weather is comfortable and dry and I don’t have to be digging up weeds or pruning roses, etc. Later, Richard Ralph's Observation: It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object<>to realize that you are in a hurry.

You are probably OK in Austin, but someone in the north, or in Canada, etc., would probably damage them unless they had a good hood on, which of course would defeat the transparency mode….

Another thing I wanted to mention about why am so hell bent crazy over wearing the Max around over the Pro’s, is battery life. Being like 5 times longer! Another luxurious feature that you have is instant control over content volume, and for that matter, content play back, no Siri or pinching needed! So to me it’s also a UX feature.

RE: Apple AirPod Max, a moral etiquette question about wearing in public when active outside
I don't know if there's a Georgetown in every state, but there are at least a few of them. I live in Georgetown, Texas, which is just north of Austin. We're in the running for nicest town square in the country every few years. I'm lucky enough to live in Old Town which is just a few blocks from the square. It's nice because we can walk to so many things on and around the square. There's been many a weekend where we get out to restaurants and shopping and never have to get in a car or even public transportation. When I walk to the square I usually bring my iPhone, Bose Frames, Airpod Pros and Orbit Writer. I'll use the Bose Frames while walking around to get directions and points of interest from my GPS. Once I end up somewhere, I'll usually switch to the Airpods to take advantage of their noise cancellation and the Orbit Writer to check in on Facebook and Swarm. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) Chaltain at Outlook -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Simon A Fogarty Sent: Monday, March 29, 2021 9:10 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Apple AirPod Max, a moral etiquette question about wearing in public when active outside Ok, confusion question, George town, I thought that was part of Washington Dc and had a major university of the usA, Or is there another George town?

Your freezing and our freezing are two very different freezings, Your’s being a lot colder than ours, The highest hill / mount around my town is about 600 meters, And that’s probably a bit high, And we only get snow on average on the outer subburbs and then only a matter of 4 inchs if we are lucky, To get snow in town is very very unusual and thatt’s within meters of sea level on average, our ski fields sometimes struggle to get enough snow to open so they use artifiscial means tofreeze the ground and they are up in the 1000 / 2000 meter range in hight I just thought, I wouldn’t want to drop an airpod pro or series 2 etc in to a bed of snow, That could be one hell of a search, From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Tuesday, 30 March 2021 1:23 pm To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Apple AirPod Max, a moral etiquette question about wearing in public when active outside In my part of the state, we had about 8 to 10 inches of snow this year, which is highly unusual. I think the cities main elevation is around 150 feet. The hills around here can get up to 1000 or 1200 feet and get a bit more snow, but again that is very rare. We have gone several years with no snow and only a handful of nights that got down to freezing. And, I am not one to wear headphones outside anyway. The number of days that stay at or below even 35° are very few. Summers, we rarely get to 100. So, in reality, around Portland, they are probably going to survive the elements if one wanted to walk around with them.

RE: Apple AirPod Max, a moral etiquette question about wearing in public when active outside
In my part of the state, we had about 8 to 10 inches of snow this year, which is highly unusual. I think the cities main elevation is around 150 feet. The hills around here can get up to 1000 or 1200 feet and get a bit more snow, but again that is very rare. We have gone several years with no snow and only a handful of nights that got down to freezing. And, I am not one to wear headphones outside anyway. The number of days that stay at or below even 35° are very few. Summers, we rarely get to 100. So, in reality, around Portland, they are probably going to survive the elements if one wanted to walk around with them. I plan to use them on our back patio when the weather is comfortable and dry and I don’t have to be digging up weeds or pruning roses, etc. Later, Richard Ralph's Observation: It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object<>to realize that you are in a hurry.

RE: Apple AirPod Max, a moral etiquette question about wearing in public when active outside
Thank you, Richard. Very nicely described. Since I hadn't looked into them at all, I had no idea they were so different. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Monday, March 29, 2021 2:28 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Apple AirPod Max, a moral etiquette question about wearing in public when active outside I Pam, Since the old Airpods fit in your ear, these are probably 30 or 40 or more times as large, grin. They completely cover your ears. The ear cups are padded and your ear fits inside them so the pads are touching your head around your ears, not on your ears. I suppose if someone had extraordinarily large ears they might press on them... The ear pieces are made of metal and are approximately 4 inches tall and 3.5 inches wide and the metal part is almost an inch thick, then the padded piece is about 3/4 inches thick. The band that goes over your head is made up of two metal bars that have a nice mesh between them that sits on your head and distributes the weight so they do not feel that heavy on your head, though when you hold them, they are surprisingly heavy. The adjustment for the earpieces is also metal and seems to hold the position you set it at quite well. You really have to have them in your hands to fully appreciate them, but I hope that helps. If you have an Apple store in your area that opens up, I'd say go and check them out. Richard Ralph's Observation: It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object<>to realize that you are in a hurry.

Oh yes quite a bit larger, and yes they do cover your ears but they are very gentle about it, not muffling the sound much at all. They are also quite heavy, but you never know it because they are so comfortable. I don’t think it would be very good for them, but in a confrontational situation, I think you could snatch them off and use them as a weapon and knock somebody in the back of the head with them. I’ll kidding aside, they are quite a different beast then the other AirPods Egun On, Lagunak!

Ah, because most people think Apple products are white? I didn't realize that, probably because I got a black iPhone 11.

RE: Apple AirPod Max, a moral etiquette question about wearing in public when active outside
I think I’d mostly encounter electric cars and bicycles at intersections, where I’m going to be more vigilant anyway, but I’m not stupid, and if I thought my ability to react to what was going on around me would be compromised by wearing Airpods then I wouldn’t be wearing them. I do have Aftershokz, which I find are plenty good enough with respect to fidelity, and Bose Frames if I want something with better fidelity or more style, and which are my go to devices when I’m out and about anyway. I do keep my Airpod Pros with me when I’m out, even if I grab my Bose Frames. Because they’re so portable and give me options like noise cancellation when I’m in a noisy restaurant. I’d have plenty of situations to use my Airpods with transparency mode turned out though where I’d feel perfectly safe though. This doesn’t mean I’m ignoring my situational awareness or telling others that it’s OK to wear Airpods under all circumstances! -- Christopher (AKA CJ) Chaltain at Outlook From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Pete Nalda Sent: Monday, March 29, 2021 12:51 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Apple AirPod Max, a moral etiquette question about wearing in public when active outside Well, it looks like I’m probably the only one stubborn enough To even try to want to wear them about, but Austin does have dedicated bike lines, and as far as somebody write down the sidewalk and hit me I’ll guarantee you with my girth, that little bicycle is going to go down!

RE: Apple AirPod Max, a moral etiquette question about wearing in public when active outside
One old curmudgeon to another, I get it completely. Living in Oregon, I would never even think of it outside of my own yard. Now, as for keeping your ears warm, have you checked the safe temperature range for these bad boys? You are probably OK in Austin, but someone in the north, or in Canada, etc., would probably damage them unless they had a good hood on, which of course would defeat the transparency mode…. Since you have a dog guide, you are much safer than those of us who use canes in that case anyway.

Lucky for me, I have ears shaped in such a way that once I get the right tip on the Airpod Pros, there's no anger of them popping out.

I agree, if you're worried about people stealing them from you then you probably shouldn't be wearing them outside, but here in my little town of Georgetown, I definitely don't have that fear. In fact, someone found something from Bose on the downtown square, and several people reached out to me to ask if I had lost my Bose Frames, since they knew I was on the square that day and I had my Bose Frames with me.

RE: Apple AirPod Max, a moral etiquette question about wearing in public when active outside
I'm glad bonnie remember to point out the water issue. There are slits for the external microphones, two of which are on the tops of the ear pieces. That would be a recipe for disaster. If you have Apple Care, they may fix them once, but I would never take them outside unless I was just sitting on our patio on a clear day.

Yes, someone could walk up behind you and brab them. I would never wear them when walking around. I would also be careful even when sitting down in a public place.

RE: Apple AirPod Max, a moral etiquette question about wearing in public when active outside
I agree with Simon. I walk around my house all of the time wearing my Airpod Pros, and although when walking out side, I'll tend to grab my Bose Frames or my Aftershokz, I could see myself wearing my Pros or the Maxes outside, but as Simon says, I'd still be careful at intersections and congested areas, by turning off whatever I'm listening to except for the occasional updates from my GPS system. I have to admit, I'm perplexed by the subject line and the body of the original message.
