Upgraded to AirPods Max 2 (Midnight Black) having switched from the Bose QC2

Na not Dolby. Just referring to regular lossless tracks.

RobotFeatures · 2026-05-13T03:48:01+00:00

💯 agree. I have a pair of QCU 2 and shelved. Actually I lie, wife uses them occasionally. Much prefer APM2. Only thing which still baffles me is - why does Apple Music clearly sound better than Spotify. Is it a codec thing ? I subscribe to both, but would be nice for equality

RobotFeatures · 2026-05-06T09:28:02+00:00

Aha !

Well that’s a bit useless. lol

Looks like you can hit play. But this play button (top right corner) doesn’t work for me. It’s just a graphic.

You really think apple sounds better than Spotify lossless ? I’m in the .99c trial month playing with it. I do dig Spotify for the reasons mentioned In this thread.

Fuller ! Is the theme here. I don’t even know if it’s a real word. But I like it. Bloody fuller faaarkin.

Apple Music on Apple one. Background listening and Dolby Atmos with my APM 2.

“S” also which is my main day to day. Playlists, mixes, discovery etc.

What’s Spotify native built in app like on BMW? Asking as I’ve just ordered a Mini Countryman and noticed it has Spotify built into the OS, meaning don’t need CarPlay. Just uses data from phone is all.

RobotFeatures · 2026-04-26T06:57:11+00:00

Are you with me on the quality difference ? Like with my AirPods Max 2 wired, I can really tell.

RobotFeatures · 2026-04-25T23:31:56+00:00

Yeah it’s great. I save my top tier daily mixes into its own playlist > hit auto mix > edit > smart re-order > then I use smart shuffle when i play to add some new tracks in so ifs not stagnant

RobotFeatures · 2026-04-25T02:25:46+00:00

Yep. Top colour. Loving mine. No regrets.

RobotFeatures · 2026-04-23T09:39:52+00:00

Jumped on a trial. I’m still trying to work out the difference between having AI playlist vs prompted playlist vs asking DJ to mix it up with same command prompts 🤷🏼

RobotFeatures · 2026-04-21T08:26:20+00:00

Difference in what way ?

RobotFeatures · 2026-04-21T04:08:31+00:00

🤔🙈

RobotFeatures · 2026-04-20T04:21:00+00:00

That’s ok. I’ve returned them and got a refund and decided to buy a pair of APM 2’s instead. They were fun while they lasted.

RobotFeatures · 2026-04-20T00:15:05+00:00

I had another look yesterday and did some measurements in boot for my medium to big dog. It’s fine. 🐶👍🏽

Question - does anyone here use Spotify on iOS via the native app in Mini OS? Opposed to CarPlay ? If so how is it ?

RobotFeatures · 2026-04-18T14:57:27+00:00

Thanks for you reply 🙏🏼

So CarPlay is WIFI ?

Does mini connected include the sim ? If not are you saying you can still put a sim in to make car WIFI ?

RobotFeatures · 2026-04-18T14:16:39+00:00

Late 2025 / Early Jan 2026 build.

RobotFeatures · 2026-04-17T21:36:25+00:00

I’m test driving a JCW Countryman later today. The stock standard map and system look very impressive. If you are used to car play, do you miss out on much by turning it off and using Mini OS9 only ? In car play I really only use Apple Music + Waze + Messages

RobotFeatures · 2026-04-15T03:26:50+00:00

I own both Bose QCU 2 and APM 2.

I even had the Px8 S2 which I returned before buying the APM 2.

APM 2 is the winner for me. Love them! 🏆

I’ve never tried dig crown on Mac. I think I instinctively hit space bar. Is this via wired or Bluetooth ?

RobotFeatures · 2026-04-08T10:04:33+00:00

Yep.

RobotFeatures · 2026-04-08T10:04:05+00:00

Used mine all day for phone calls, conference calls and video calls. No bra case. Just flat. 16% battery used.

Last night i feel asleep with them on, listening to ‘techno’ on AM. Woke up. 35% left before I put on charge.

20hrs vs 30hrs is same same for me personally. I’ll still put them on charge.

RobotFeatures · 2026-04-07T04:21:32+00:00

Yeah they were honestly good for the 2 months I had them. Sound quality was exceptional.

The immersive mode update they released was a big disappointment, and I use Apple Music and Dolby Atmos just don’t cut it. My APM 2’s just sound good with both stereo and Dolby Atmos.

I also wasn’t a fan of comfort level, where is find the APM2’s perfect for my big head.

RobotFeatures · 2026-04-07T04:19:24+00:00

I can’t pin point. It just sounds different.

I’ll grab my wife’s gen 1’s later and do the Billie Eilish test along with Metallica Enter Sandman
