OK well as the motto goes to each their own preference I’m just glad I was able to get these. Have you guys noticed that when in transparency mode at least those of you who own these AirPod pros, when you’re talking, you can actually hear yourself with them? I’m starting to get used to it and I figured out how those flat buttons or rather little indentations where you squeeze to control media playback, anyway I figured out how to go from transparency mode using the AirPods themselves to noise cancellation mode without having to open my control center on my phone. Pretty neat! I will however point out a bug to Apple and I’m not sure if Apple accessibility is aware of the same bug that Simon said about the HomePod being on the same network as the HomePod I like I can’t remember the exact wording right now but I’m getting that with the AirPods too so anyway it was working last night very well. You know it’s the same bug that I keep getting with the Bose frames but anyway I will take care of that and let you guys know what they say to me sorry for any errors I know I talk too fast sometimes and when that happens dictation doesn’t always catch up to me. Have a great day!
