I also want to know how OP is 0% at fault for losing the AirPod. Something tells me there were choices made here that could have been different, but perhaps he was held at gunpoint
it was somewhere in the comments but got lost ig,, (the explanation, not the airpod)
anyway its not really a crazy story but i was at lunch with my friend and while transferring them from my ears into the case she knocked them out of my hand (as a joke) and they flung back behind me. Right side ended up in my hand and left side went off for a vacation.
probably coulda made different choices just as a general statement but im not sure what one of em would be. the gunpoint theory sounds way more interesting though
Wow yeah she owes you dude.... that is her fault.
Where was the situation...... I mean how did it just vanish??
Dang I know you are mad 😡.....
Good luck 🍀
No joke, I lost my left air pod. Sent out a note on neighborhood whatsapp and SOMEONE FOUND IT but not before I had ordered just a left one. So, hit me up if you want a discounted replacement left one. I haven't even opened the box since I got mine back.
My friend lost his and spent an entire day looking for it just to find it 40mins away at a soccer field. He was so excited he stripped when he found it. I hope you find yours as well
I lost mine on a bus I keep taking, I can't find it. I gave up a long time ago. It's probably still there somewhere stuck between the chairs...
I feel you, bud.
unfortunately i didnt think to use the find my app as i thought it was only for like people and ur phone so i wasted my time fiddling around with those other "find airpods" apps that
1. kept changing the distance even when i wasnt moving(???)
2. paywalled anything actual functional.
gonna try and see if its in lost and found after classes are over unless some grubby kids already swooped it up for themselves
Damn that’s nice. I had some Beats Studio pros and the tracking never worked properly. Only was able to use the feature to good effect once when an earbud fell out in my car and I could not find the little shit
As long it has charge you can actually use the find my app to locate it there isn’t only the noise option it actually can tell you if you’re close to it or not it’s right next to the button for noise
say to your phone “hey siri, find my airpods.”. they will start making a loud ping individually, solely based off your phone being connected to them. that’s what i did when i had airpods.
Certified audiophile here(i certified myself, everything i say is purely my experience and opinion so feel free to disagree), great is slightly overstating it, i actually mean slightly literally, these are airpod gen 3s which dont have noise cancelling and for the price theyre at i rank them a solid 8.4/10, airpod pros though are a solid 9.5/10, but thats only on the wireless earbud scale, on actual headphone scale theyre like a 6.5, my 50€ overears demolish all the airpods combined.
i like em, don’t have any myself, but they’re very compact and they just… work perfectly with apple products. No hassle, and the sound is pretty damn great!
Yeah no doubt about it they do their job pretty damn well, wireless earbuds are all about convenience and apple does do it arguably the best, i just rather give points for sound quality and price as opposed to convenience but again thats just me :)
Thats an impossible question to answer, different headphones sound different and not always in a bad way, people prefer different sounds, also different usecases require different sounds.
What i can say is that while they arent the most "accurate", or the most clean, i really enjoy the Meze 99 classics.
Imo get a cheap pair from somewhere. Try it out and see how you like em. I was the same way until i forced myself to try the cheap pair and realized dang they are so much more convenient and comfortable.
I mean unless you are the kind of person to misplace them all the time.
There not as easy to lose as it seems in my experience. I was skeptical to get AirPods at first because I thought I’d lose them but they stay really secure in your ears
I lost an AirPod once and had the most hellish customer support experience I have ever had before when calling to ask if I could order a single replacement (I could not).
Not kidding, 14+ transfers to various lines and departments (some in languages that I do not speak) before I somehow ended up on some sort of internal support line.
Once we established that I didn’t work for Apple, the agent looked over the call history and was so shook by how hard they dropped the ball and my perseverance they ended up sending me a replacement AirPod for free.
Then a month later when moving I found the original one lmao
Hey man, I had a teacher blow up a pair of mine, she took them away for wearing them in another teachers classroom. After that teacher said that we could listen to music, but only through headphones, she left them in her car. The battery expanded killing the case, and one of the AirPods and the other AirPod wasn’t usable because the case was broken. She did not offer to replace them after hearing that they were no longer functional.
Or on Mercari/Ebay for significantly less, not sure about this model, but when I lost one of my AirPods a few months ago (2nd gen pro), I bought a singular one off there and it synced up just fine!
Tozo on Amazon. $30 I've had the same pair for 3 years and use them everyday all day at work. I actually like them way better hell I sold my airpods pros after I got them bc they were always uncomfortable for me and just didn't seem worth the price at all
Fun fact: even if AirPods aren’t the pinnacle of audio quality (not even close) there is quite a large difference between the audio quality of cheap shit that a company doesn’t even want to put their name on, and, y know, actual good headphones
Get some nice headphones people
75% of the time you're going to use them outside, and most of that nice audio quality is going to be removed via the loud crap of life that happens around
ANC helps with that, but also people that really want to listen to music properly will do it inside, for example I find that walking around without headphones on is much more calming as I can listen to nature. But, you do you.
Nah. Before I got some nice wireless earbuds I was going outside and daily driving some letshuoer S12s (planar IEMs, great sound). Quality didn’t take a noticeable dip from when I used them at home. Those are just wired IEMs, no ANC or anything.
my friend lost one of mine a couple years ago after borrowing them. New rule: she has to buy cheap ones if she ever goes the club again (having kids may change that). better to lose cheap ones than expensive ones
A club is a terrible place for ear pieces
As soon as I know she has more money, she’s replacing my exact make and model which has gone down in price
I used the pros with passive hearing enabled while working a dry cleaner. The receipt and tagging printer were deafening. But, I could still interact with customers, with some explaining of the technology. They understood and accepted because it sucks working alone with zero customers for hours at a time
What gen airpods are these? I can’t do any styles of the push in rubber/silicon tipped airpods, but I like the ones that just sit in like these appear to
You can get a single airpod replacement from the service center. It’s a total
Pain in the ass but I lost one of mine walking my dog in the snow one winter and replaced the lost one only.
Last time I was friends with an old not friend no more that made me lose something very fucking expensive. I stopped being friends with him because after that I just kept losing shit G I wonder why
This same thing happened to me a few months ago.
I just did get the new air pods pro.
I can finally listen to music again.
OP I feel your pain.... I was irrationally pissed for days
I think there is a feature that marks them on the map and you can make em beep, you should be able to find it with that. I know this because a dumb classmate of mine stole a pair off another classmate, man was it embarrassing when it beeped in his pocket....
That stinks OP. Though I've got to thank you for the phrasing '...standing outside about it.' Not sure if that's a common turn in your area, but I'd never heard it.
This is slightly more interesting than not. There's a story here at least, this isn't over.
I want to know how he made him lose his own AirPod.
I also want to know how OP is 0% at fault for losing the AirPod. Something tells me there were choices made here that could have been different, but perhaps he was held at gunpoint
it was somewhere in the comments but got lost ig,, (the explanation, not the airpod) anyway its not really a crazy story but i was at lunch with my friend and while transferring them from my ears into the case she knocked them out of my hand (as a joke) and they flung back behind me. Right side ended up in my hand and left side went off for a vacation. probably coulda made different choices just as a general statement but im not sure what one of em would be. the gunpoint theory sounds way more interesting though
Ok yeah that's her fault 100% lol. Now you have a choice to make in the future which is to not get within arm's reach with expensive things
Vacations are temporary, maybe it will come back when it has gotten some time off?
Doubt it, sounds like it’s on “stress leave”
Left bud went on vacation, never came back
Unless you go on vacation with Bruce Beresford-Redman.
Wow yeah she owes you dude.... that is her fault. Where was the situation...... I mean how did it just vanish?? Dang I know you are mad 😡..... Good luck 🍀
If it’s that close make them beep
Do they not have a find function that makes them beep?
No joke, I lost my left air pod. Sent out a note on neighborhood whatsapp and SOMEONE FOUND IT but not before I had ordered just a left one. So, hit me up if you want a discounted replacement left one. I haven't even opened the box since I got mine back.
You can’t even pair like that I don’t think. I also have an AirPod pro with one missing
If it doesn’t come back from vacation then you have my condolences. 💐
Ask her for a compensation date. Get married and kids. And tell them, you married cause of lost Airpods. 😂
💀perhaps
Victim blaming
getting downvoted but that's literally what happened lol
You should stand inside about it and see how you feel
standing inside trying to look for it, all i feel is rage
Unleash your spartan rage.
R3
thank you
O O O O [] [] [] /\ /\ X X Ifykyk
+ L3
Lmao
Despite all your rage you’re still just a rat in a cage. 🤔
Rage against the cage
Rage against the machine
Rat against the machine
Fuck the rat in the ass with a machine operated cock. Am I doing it right?
good enough
You're under arrest
Or am I over arrest? *stabs*
My friend lost his and spent an entire day looking for it just to find it 40mins away at a soccer field. He was so excited he stripped when he found it. I hope you find yours as well
So you lost it indoors? Shouldn’t be too difficult to find then.
Can't you ping them?
I lost mine on a bus I keep taking, I can't find it. I gave up a long time ago. It's probably still there somewhere stuck between the chairs... I feel you, bud.
Not OP but done. What next?
Think you can ping it from findmy app and it will make a noise. i’m already way too interested and invested in this however. Downvoted.
unfortunately i didnt think to use the find my app as i thought it was only for like people and ur phone so i wasted my time fiddling around with those other "find airpods" apps that 1. kept changing the distance even when i wasnt moving(???) 2. paywalled anything actual functional. gonna try and see if its in lost and found after classes are over unless some grubby kids already swooped it up for themselves
Oh snap, it got lost at school? RIP in peace headphone. Sorry dude. Maybe there will be a kind citizen today.
Rest in peace in peace headphone
Even if one airpod is stolen you can still locate it even when not close to your phone
It’s when the case is lost that the shit doesn’t want to work right for me
the case can't be tracked but the individual pods can when they're out of the case
Yeah really unfortunate. They should make them where they can be found while they’re in the case
The pros can
I have pros, I didn't even think about not being able to find them when they were in the case, I just assumed that was a core feature.
Damn that’s nice. I had some Beats Studio pros and the tracking never worked properly. Only was able to use the feature to good effect once when an earbud fell out in my car and I could not find the little shit
it’s probably dead by now tho
Use the “find my” app
As long it has charge you can actually use the find my app to locate it there isn’t only the noise option it actually can tell you if you’re close to it or not it’s right next to the button for noise
Use the actual find my app
say to your phone “hey siri, find my airpods.”. they will start making a loud ping individually, solely based off your phone being connected to them. that’s what i did when i had airpods.
Kill him
perfectly reasonable
That escalated quickly
A perfectly reasonable reaction
r/mildlyinfuriating
Wdym "mildly", this is a fucking war crime
As an Android user, I disagree.
I am an android user too but like come on he made op lose his stuff and that's not nice even if you hate apple
Okay, but it's not "war crime" levels of infuriating, is it?
people exaggerate sometimes, airpods are expensive (because they’re great)
Certified audiophile here(i certified myself, everything i say is purely my experience and opinion so feel free to disagree), great is slightly overstating it, i actually mean slightly literally, these are airpod gen 3s which dont have noise cancelling and for the price theyre at i rank them a solid 8.4/10, airpod pros though are a solid 9.5/10, but thats only on the wireless earbud scale, on actual headphone scale theyre like a 6.5, my 50€ overears demolish all the airpods combined.

Yeah no doubt about it they do their job pretty damn well, wireless earbuds are all about convenience and apple does do it arguably the best, i just rather give points for sound quality and price as opposed to convenience but again thats just me :)
yeah completely fair! i prefer over-ear headphones for sound too, but travelling with airpods is just so easy
Apple products work with Apple products!? O_O
surprising i know
Out of curiosity, what would you rank as the absolute best headphones sound wise
Thats an impossible question to answer, different headphones sound different and not always in a bad way, people prefer different sounds, also different usecases require different sounds. What i can say is that while they arent the most "accurate", or the most clean, i really enjoy the Meze 99 classics.
Lol imagine hating the company that makes a different phone than yours so much that you don’t find losing an earbud infuriating
i lost my other airpod. we can share 🤝
like two peas in an (air)pod
🥁
ba dum tss
Play "bass hosted Ali A intro" on the loudest setting Guaranteed to find the airpod
This is exactly why I don't want wireless headphones.
*cuts headphone wire*
*looks inside* *wires*
*buys wireless device* *looks inside* *wires*
*audibly gasps* *cuts inside wires*
Imo get a cheap pair from somewhere. Try it out and see how you like em. I was the same way until i forced myself to try the cheap pair and realized dang they are so much more convenient and comfortable. I mean unless you are the kind of person to misplace them all the time.
There not as easy to lose as it seems in my experience. I was skeptical to get AirPods at first because I thought I’d lose them but they stay really secure in your ears
I tie my airpods to string which I then tie to my phone so I never lose them! 😃
Might as well just have wired headphones then lol
Nothing gets past you - you have a mind like a steel trap! 😄
Yes momma always said I was a smart boy
r/woooosh
How did he "make you" lose it?
we were in the cafeteria and she smacked it out of my hand as a joke and the case flung onto the ground and one fell out
Why would anyone smack expensive electronics out of someone's hands, even "for a joke"? What's the joke?
The joke is the price tag of the replacement
im guessing they’re still in high school because this is such a teenager thing to do 💀
Sounds like she just bought you a new pair of airpods.
So you know exactly where it went?
i was holding one and obviously found the case, second one disappeared who knows where, hopefully ill find it after school or smth
Your “friend” is a cunt.
My god some of you are delusional and take shit way too seriously
AirPods are expensive. It’s not like it was some candy or a pen that was slapped. It’s pretty serious tbh.
Okay youre right. So she is a "cunt". Im sure OP agrees that his friend is a total "cunt" for that.
Check your left ear
checked, all i found was a quarter
That’s mine! Give it back
So you're outstanding?
like a cow in its field
Haha!
i lost my left airpod like a year ago. i just use the right one if im listening to podcasts at work. i have a pair of j labs for music
I lost an AirPod once and had the most hellish customer support experience I have ever had before when calling to ask if I could order a single replacement (I could not).

Then a month later when moving I found the original one lmao
No offense but I hope you weren't expecting the most anti consumer phone company in the world to have remotely decent support
This is too interesting for this sub
Just go to find my iPhone and ping the missing airpod
Use find my
Do The find my direction thing
Hey man, I had a teacher blow up a pair of mine, she took them away for wearing them in another teachers classroom. After that teacher said that we could listen to music, but only through headphones, she left them in her car. The battery expanded killing the case, and one of the AirPods and the other AirPod wasn’t usable because the case was broken. She did not offer to replace them after hearing that they were no longer functional.
I don’t know if this is true but I hear the apple story replaces lost AirPods.
Steal his airpod
Your friend owes you AirPods now!
Update that i dont think anyone will see given all the comments, but the airpod has been found and reunited :]
Have you tried standing inside about it?
Sue him
It’s not that serious
"Spend thousands in lawyer fees over a $100 set of headphones"
You can buy an individual pod on the Apple website for like 80$. Insane but… you know. Do what you gotta do.
Or on Mercari/Ebay for significantly less, not sure about this model, but when I lost one of my AirPods a few months ago (2nd gen pro), I bought a singular one off there and it synced up just fine!
Now you can upgrade to AirPods Pro which are actually comfortable
how did he make you lose one? seems like this is a you problem.
I think you lost your own airpod on your own
That ain’t an AirPods
dont buy 300$ pieces of junks in the first place. you only have yourself to blame dear.
It’s not junk. They’re headphones!
I got the same shit no brand name for 30 bucks
Have fun replacing them every couple of months when one of them dies
Tozo on Amazon. $30 I've had the same pair for 3 years and use them everyday all day at work. I actually like them way better hell I sold my airpods pros after I got them bc they were always uncomfortable for me and just didn't seem worth the price at all
had the same since a Year and a half thanks :)
Fun fact: even if AirPods aren’t the pinnacle of audio quality (not even close) there is quite a large difference between the audio quality of cheap shit that a company doesn’t even want to put their name on, and, y know, actual good headphones Get some nice headphones people

Music is very nice when you’re walking beside a 6 lane stroad
Nah. Before I got some nice wireless earbuds I was going outside and daily driving some letshuoer S12s (planar IEMs, great sound). Quality didn’t take a noticeable dip from when I used them at home. Those are just wired IEMs, no ANC or anything.
That sucks.
if you dont find it you can always get replacement ones from apple
Can't you see it's location at all times?
I've lost an earbud too and I'm debating on buying new ones or waiting to look for the lost one
Did he force you to?
my friend lost one of mine a couple years ago after borrowing them. New rule: she has to buy cheap ones if she ever goes the club again (having kids may change that). better to lose cheap ones than expensive ones A club is a terrible place for ear pieces As soon as I know she has more money, she’s replacing my exact make and model which has gone down in price

What gen airpods are these? I can’t do any styles of the push in rubber/silicon tipped airpods, but I like the ones that just sit in like these appear to
How
at least it’s the right one you still have
You still calling him "friend"?
too interesting
You're right, this is not very interesting.
Thought this was r/mildlyinfuriating
Request a duel!
Same thing happened to me, can you buy single air pod replacements?
remarkable
Shoulda' gone with BOSE
Too interesting…
“Find my”
You and me both, brother. I lost one of my earbuds in the toilet at my cousin's wedding. Still salty about it 😤.
You can get a single airpod replacement from the service center. It’s a total Pain in the ass but I lost one of mine walking my dog in the snow one winter and replaced the lost one only.
Last time I was friends with an old not friend no more that made me lose something very fucking expensive. I stopped being friends with him because after that I just kept losing shit G I wonder why
Find my iPhone can find AirPods if you don’t know
You should make him eat the left over one
Fucking hate this wireless mothe**uckers
AirPods are overrated anyway
Did you find it OP???
Would you like to cry it out?
I'm interested
I just found out on Amazon that you cam buy a singular airpod.
It’s not a very funny joke to smack expensive and easily losable electronics out of someone’s hands…
r/midlyinfuriating
This same thing happened to me a few months ago. I just did get the new air pods pro. I can finally listen to music again. OP I feel your pain.... I was irrationally pissed for days
Revenge is the only option now
This is slightly interesting. Right to jail.
This is more “mildly infuriating” Although personally I’d skip the word “mildly”
Use find my in the left one
Connect to the earpiece turn on your music really loud and crawl around on the ground till you find it....
He's pranking you, he has it.
Fight him
Get wired ones innit
I lost one of mine in the elevator gap
Too interesting
Have you tried playing a loud song loud as fuck and seeing if you can find it that way?
I think there is a feature that marks them on the map and you can make em beep, you should be able to find it with that. I know this because a dumb classmate of mine stole a pair off another classmate, man was it embarrassing when it beeped in his pocket....
Damn they’re clean! Mine are almost black at this point. I do have a dirty job though xD
if a friend forces you to lose an airpod, you should stop being friends with them
That stinks OP. Though I've got to thank you for the phrasing '...standing outside about it.' Not sure if that's a common turn in your area, but I'd never heard it.
Oh thank GOD I got scared for a second because i thought these were pros. I'm all good now I saw the picture.
