Why would they try to make the AirPods a worse purchase? Apple is happy to let you run whatever operating system on your Mac -- they aren't actively hostile there, but they don't help the community either.
Still, I would recommend the Sony WF-1000XM6 if you're not an Apple computer or phone user already. The UX is reportedly worse and a bit buggy, but the sound should be better.

- jabwd 3mo agoYou can configure them to pause them when you take them out of your ear, except when it is not an Apple device. They will refuse to do so, even though they clearly detect the event since you can no longer use the stem as a pause button when you do so. Clearly they make it worse just because you didn't get an Apple device, so yeah idk what you're smoking but give me some.
- jitl 3mo agoyeah the fact that many things start working if you change the host ID to apple device is very sus. i retract.
- Rohansi 3mo ago> Apple is happy to let you run whatever operating system on your Mac -- they aren't actively hostile there Weird to praise Apple for the one line of devices they let you install your own operating system on and ignore that every other device doesn't.
- ruszki 3mo agoEven that is a lie. It allows other OSs, but they know quite well, that without drivers, it’s an empty promise. I can’t run anything else on my Mini for example.
- Rohansi 3mo agoI'm expecting them to lock down future devices because of this. Asahi can't keep up so the feature is basically unused.
- marysol5 3mo agoThis is the same Apple that sued people making "Hackintosh" machines...
- jtbayly 3mo agoWhich is completely the opposite—running Apple software on non-Apple hardware—so they make no money whatsoever off such users.
- nozzlegear 3mo ago> Even that is a lie. > It allows other OSs So it's not a lie?
- ruszki 3mo agoIf I allow you to cross my main door, but I'm 100% kill you immediately after that, do I really allow you into my home, or not? Your legalese only works in court, and Apple and fanboys spread this nonsense only because of legal reasons.
- jitl 3mo agoidk dude killing someone is pretty different from doing nothing i think it’s more like “i’ll give you keys to my alien space ship, but our culture doesn’t write things down in a language you understand. be careful!”
- ruszki 3mo agoExcept of course they did something. They created a new language from scratch when they knew this whole situation beforehand. My analogy is perfect, because it’s easy to filter people out who cannot add anything to the discussion. They immediately start to divert the discussion to orthogonal topics, which has nothing to do with the core topic. It’s a bait for stupid people. It makes obvious when the commenter really has well thought thoughts, or just parroting something.
- jorisw 3mo ago> Why would they try to make the AirPods a worse purchase? Why assume this is what they're doing? Apple can only QA so much. To open up proprietary tacked-on features to a hardware ecosystem they can't control, opens up AirPods to be perceived as buggy on those devices, which isn't going to help the perception of quality of Apple products for non-iPhone/iPad users.
