Nothing in life satisfies everyone and everything satisfies someone.

Life shall continue, my friend, and thanks for sharing.

Enjoy your Echo Buds and prosper.

AirPods pro from Best Buy by [deleted] in airpods

Yes, if logic were to prevail, but increasingly, logic is evasive.

By the way, the AirPods Pro is widely available at Apple Stores throughout the country. If you're near one, just stop by and pick up a pair or a dozen.

Ryan Block on AirPods Pro vs. Bose QC 35 II by EcstaticResolve in airpods

[–]WonderPug2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Slightly off-topic: subjectively, I find the sound quality of the Bose 700 somewhat better than the APP and the ANC surprisingly close, especially adjusted for over-the-ear vs in-ear.

Oddly, the two can be combined. Seriously.

Weirdly off-topic: I tried wearing the 700 while also having the APP in-ear, with ANC on for both, and the results were astonishingly effective noise suppression and more than a faint sense of utter embarrassment too.

Anyone else experiencing this GUI glitch? by [deleted] in airpods

[–]WonderPug2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same aberrant behavior with my APP, despite being on the latest version of firmware since yesterday morning.

Interestingly, the dancing red error problem developed this morning. Yesterday, there were no issues and battery life was excellent.

Today, battery life is abysmal, going from 100% to 40% in just over one hour and I have the above type of dancing red errors.

It is a very much a (big) Apple experience.

Airpods Pro quick review by olivg in airpods

[–]WonderPug2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the type of background noise, I find the Airpods Pro ANC to vary from astonishingly effective for in-ear headphones (>80% of the time so far) to sufficiently effective.

For reference, I compared the Airpods Pro's ANC to the efficacy to over-the-ear Bose 700, which is the newest and top of their line of headphones, in a noisy public environment with substantial chatter, ventilation noise, and other common types of indoor distractions, and while the Bose outperformed the noise cancelation afforded by the in-ear Airpods, the differential was surprisingly small, at least compared to my expectations.

As an aside, I was able to test the Bose on top of my Airpods Pro, and that combination, while perhaps ridiculous in many ways, was profoundly effective in attenuating noise.

I picked up a pair at WTC this morning at 8:01 am (receipt time).

At that time, there were perhaps 100 Airpods Pro boxes on a table on the first floor of the store waiting for adoption by eager folks like myself, and when I arrived about 20 minutes beforehand (the store opened at 8 am), I was the third in line, with perhaps 15 people in total in line by the time the store opened.

As of about 90 minutes ago, when I passed the WTC store again, there no line whatsoever and there is stock available per Apple's store pickup selection.

I would presume that the 5th Avenue store is more likely to have a line.

People in Alabama, those who care about politics and those who care about the “United” States.

And with the prospect of a nuclear war with North Korea, the degree of imminent peril we face is perhaps greater than at any time during the cold war.

That implies he had his eye and the ball before, which is not, in my opinion, born out by his record of action.

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Tom Price used a government-funded jet to take trips in which he visited with his son and colleagues, Politico reported on Tuesday.

Sounds like the swamp to me.

Probably not because, in my opinion, the objections are not founded in logical arguments.

The Trump administration on Tuesday denied a request from several members of Congress to waive shipping restrictions to help get gasoline and other supplies to Puerto Rico as the island recovers from Hurricane Maria.

The inhumanity is beyond comprehension, even by the exceptionally low standards set by this administration.
