I have a problem with the hold of the Air Pods pro. No matter what size insert I use, they slip out or come loose over time, so the noise cancellation doesn't work properly.
Does anyone have any tips for other attachments or holders to keep the air pods firmly in my ear?

Comply air tips bro, trust me.

Maybe it's my mind playing tricks (I doubt it) but I feel like my Beats FitPro volume quality has already gone down a notch since these damn APP 2s dropped.

I swear they were much louder and deafening the first 6-8 months.

My girl took them to Apple Store, they ran diagnostics and said they’re fine

I guess it’s just my ears that have a static sound in them

 

[SolesNGoals99]

Anyone purchase the “new ipad” models? I’m buying my first one. Got the 12.9” ipad pro on pre-order

I knew they would do it eventually for Apple Music. It’s a hood thing I have Spotify premium tho, cause I’ll only be paying $9.99 a month while Apple Music users are paying $10.99 a month. (I say only, but it’s actually a lot of money per month, prolly why I’m broke )

——

I got 6 months of Apple Music for free when I got my AirPods Pro gen2’s, but idk if I wanna make the transition for those 6 months.

I like Apple Music for the convenience of all my previously downloaded music in one spot but i DO NOT like Apple Music at all. I hear alot of the same songs no matter what i listen to compared to other platforms/apps like Pandora or Spotify

Interesting. I have over 100+ hours of music downloaded throughout various playlists

apps like Pandora or Spotify

So which do you personally like the most out of all 3?

I just love the convenience and ease of being able to just open the app and push play, and know there will be no ads or wait time.

It takes me less than 10 seconds to get my AirPods out and connected and play music, I love it.

Spotify’s UI >>>>>>>>>>> Apple Music.

I chose Spotify premium a long time ago and never regretted that decision.

 

[Fozz]

For simplicity and eco-system, Apple Music works for and my wife.

Man I thought it was just me experiencing this. I put my music on shuffle and it’s crazy how many times the same songs play out of the thousands I have.

 

[HankHill]

I still have my old catalog synced to my phone, but new content is always coming from Spotify. I’ve tried Apple Music in the past and Spotify has still been the best experience.

The biggest one being device control handoff. If I ask Google assistant to play Apple music on a speaker group, I can’t control it from the Music app on my phone or MacBook. With Spotify I can control the same instance from my phone, MacBook, Apple TV, ps5, etc

I prefer pandora because i hit shuffle and go on about my day unless the playlist just really sucks at the time or i want to listening to something really specific.

Your last statement is why i like apple music & the apple ecosystem. I hear the same songs when i search the apple catalog by song/artist. For instance, no matter what song/artist i search, i wind up hearing the same frikkin 3-5 j cole songs out of the 100 or so he has dropped. I’ll do another search by song and after about an hour of listening to that station, I’ll hear the original song i search for again. Ridiculous!!! Especially if apples music Catalog has “over” 100 million songs

YUP!

Been wanting to try out Spotify so I’ll probably use this as an excuse to. I need some better playlists

I used to deliver catering to one of Spotifys offices all the time. They’d get like $600 worth of pizza and cupcakes for after hours game nights

Tidal >

Updated to ios 16 on my iPad, can’t really tell any difference except the weather app seems to be a real app instead of weather.com going to research on YouTube what stage manager is.

 

[AZwildcats]

Spotify for me because I can use it on my PlayStation and Tesla as well. I was a long time Apple Music user, but I don’t miss anything about it

It’s definitely worth the try. Idk if Apple Music has this, but Spotify makes playlists for you based off of what you listen to. So you have like moody mix, chill mix, happy mixed etc. Also daily mixes with 3-4 artists per playlist. But you can also choose what blends you want to create and make a playlist with fresh music. Also on repeat, release radar, and discover weekly playlists are also feugo

Tidal >

I have Apple Music and I often use my wife's Tidal and I will say that Tidal has their algorithm set up so much better than Apple. I got put onto so many of my recent favorite artists by way of their playlist suggestions for me.

Tidal's strengths are definitely playlists, the algorithm set-up and linear notes/credits. IIRC correctly I think only recently the other platforms updated with credits.

 

[QU!K]

Just updated to Ventura.

Anything good?

Apple Store near me had one left.
Splurged and got my birthday gift a couple days early.
