Can you tell me why I’m always seeing AirPod users with only one headphone in their ear?

Can you tell me why I’m always seeing AirPod users with only one headphone in their ear?
- Kye 7y agoTo listen for hazards while outside. I don't know about inside.

- kccqzy 7y agoSingle headphone usage is a feature. The AirPods can detect that only one is present in the ear and switch from stereo to mono output. Here are a couple use cases: * To listen to the environment as well. * To take phone calls. * To extend the battery life of continuous listening by listening to one, charging the other, and then switch.

- acolytic 7y agoIn my case, I lost one of them.
- calaphos 7y agomaybe you could connect them with something, so you cant loose them. A cable would work for that :)
- Rebelgecko 7y agohalving the wear on the batteries?
- baby 7y agoI do it when I chain calls and I don't have batteries anymore. I can charge one while using the other, then swap. The battery is great if you're only listening, but as soon as you start using the microphone it goes down pretty fast (a bit more than one hour maybe?).
