Why isn't there a way to mute? I'd love to be able to configure one of the buttons to mute me when clicked. Fingers crossed for the next gen I guess.

  You can just take them out or pause your music?

    I think they meant mute their mic. I could be wrong. It would be cool if you could mute yourself while on calls - it would be possible within the apple ecosystem at least. Pause during media, mute during calls. Something. Or maybe if it could be customizable, I'd like that. Different actions for different modes.

      You can mute on software in the phone app already. I suppose what's missing is if you need to frequently mute you wouldn't want to use the screen and would rather a physical button? I've certainly never run into that issue myself, or if I know I need to mute a lot, I just have my phone out and press the screen.

        But I believe a key aspect of the Airpods is that I don't constantly have to have my phone out. I can be walking around or riding a bike or shopping and still listening and speaking - when needed - to my conference call.

    Exactly! Why would amyotrophic even have a use case where they’d want to mute these without taking these off. Doesn’t make sense. Or as you rightly said pause it from the phone. “You get it”!
