Annoyance 1: Go into the AirPods settings (which are, paradoxically, in your phone's Bluetooth settings, and only when connected) and set "Connect to This iPhone" to "When Last Connected to This iPhone". This will disable the wonky automation.
I've never experienced 2, 2a, or 2b.
3: This is a Zoom problem, I believe. I find that Zoom periodically enables the microphone even though I'm not in a meeting, and you can see this in the latest macOS by looking for the orange dot in the upper right corner of the screen. The workaround is to quit Zoom, or go into Zoom's settings and change the microphone device to your Mac's.
6: You may have hit a hardware problem with early models. Happened to me, and I also often experienced a screaming feedback tone when I put the earbuds in my ears. Apple will replace them for free.
4, 5, 7: Definitely.
- jeremyjh 5y agoAnnoyance 1 almost made me give up on the AirPods until I found that setting, I'd often have my phone at the very edge of bluetooth range and so it would keep reconnecting to it while listening to music from my laptop. I much prefer just explicitly connecting to the pods from the device I want to use, though this is more steps than it should be on iOS.
