It would be embarrassing for Europeans to be seen with Apple AirPods or Google Pixel Buds at this point. Embrace choice! Here are some major European brands that embrace color and design. There is something for every style and budget.

Bang & Olufsen (Denmark)
Beyerdynamic (Germany)
Devialet (France)
Fairpods by Fairphone (Netherlands)
Hama (Germany)
Jabra (Denmark)
Libratone (Denmark)
Onesonic (Ireland)
Philips (Netherlands)
Sennheiser (Germany)
Wavell (Denmark)

In addition to being too fiddly and small, #AirPods Pro 2 often interpret the touches made while putting them back in the case as play commands, causing sound to come out the *phone speaker*. :oldmanyellsatcloud: This is maddening. #apple

AirPods Pro Max mit USB-C: Neue Firmware endlich da

Apple hatte technische Schwierigkeiten, seine lange erwartete neue Firmware für die Edel-Over-Ears auszuspielen. In der Nacht zum Donnerstag war es nun soweit.

Writing from an iOS device:
Postpone the purchase of that shiny new #iPhone, #Airpods Pro etc. if your current one can hold out for another year or two.
It will make a dent in #Apple’s annual figures and saves e-waste, logistical and environmental costs.
Heck, make a study if ditching its whole ecosystem to #Fairphone is worthwhile. But just skipping a purchase for at least a year makes a difference if we all pitch in.

#TimCook’s million dollar donation to #Trump’s inauguration should make waves. This is one method to do so.

Eat shit, Tim.

AirPods Max mit USB-C: Neue Firmware kommt und kommt nicht

Apples groß angekündigte Lossless- und No-Latency-Features für seine Over-Ears bedingen neue Firmware. Doch genau die steht offenbar noch nicht bereit.

My #AirPods are playing up lately, crackly noises when I have noise cancelling enabled (ie almost all the time). I’ve cleaned them, no change. They’re out of warranty and not covered by the repair programme they have for a similar issue. They still work, but just not pleasant to use.

I’m not giving #Apple any money right now, so I’m not getting new AirPods. I saw some Anker headphones which got good reviews, and they’re way cheaper than AirPods, so I’ll give them a go.
