A:AnswerIt's an "updated" case with new model numbers for each part as well as USB-C instead of lightning, and technically it's better in that it support lossless audio when paired with Apple's Vision Pro headset (coming early 2024), whereas the lightning ones don't.
But functionally, they should be more or less identical to the lightning ones except for the details I've listed above.
A:Answerfind my device is useless for individual pods, lost one on Halloween taking my nieces out it showed last location, couldn't find it wouldn't beep wouldn't update nothing. find my works in your house or the charging case itself. you can purchase the individual pod from apple themselves for 89$ or just buy a new set for 100 more. im buying a set and putting them into my personalized case from apple. buy in person in store because bestbuy like amazon sells open returned trash that people swap out and you get left holding the bag, make sure the security stickers are intact before you purchase\
A:AnswerI was in the same boat. The overall call quality is better than the gen 1. The calls/sounds are more crisp and better base. People who i call cannot tell I am wearing Bluetooth headphones. And the added speaker on the case is nice. It emits a sound when placing on wireless charge pad and you can now locate the case when it falls deep in your sofa. You can also now charge the gen 2 with the same charging puck for your apple watch.
A:AnswerTwo weeks. Regardless of if they're defective or don't fit. After two weeks, Best Buy washes their hands of any involvement and will hang you out to dry. No integrity whatsoever.
A:AnswerAdaptive audio, Active noise cancellation, Conventional Awareness & personally I like the fit better. It is more comfortable for longer periods. (Note they do go on sale at Best Buy for around 199; that made it a NO Brainer for me)
Enjoy
A:AnswerYes, AirPods can work with on-plane entertainment systems, but you'll need a suitable adapter for syncing them with the system. Different airlines have different setups, so having the right adapter ensures compatibility. Apple AirPods are usually a great option for in-flight entertainment due to their versatile use.
Simply research "airpods in flight entertainment"
A:AnswerYes they do I already had Apple TV and Apple Music but I took advantage of the Apple News (just don’t forget to unsubscribe after the 6 months so as to not be charged) but you can always check your subscriptions this way. Apple ID > subscriptions
A:AnswerI exercise too (jogging, boxing, weight lifting), just as an example of activities I do and what you asked for (earbuds to stay and be comfy)
I had those AirPods and lost them. I just got the Bose ones… I so prefer the AirPods. Bout the Bose ones cause I wanted to compare but is too late now to return them. I wished I had stayed with AirPods
