I really hate silicon tipped earphones. In the past, I used silicon tips on inexpensive earphones and they worked well for the price point, but often gave me more trouble than expected. Silicon tips often fall out, form a poor seal in my ears, and slide around when I speak or eat with them in. Thankfully, I discovered Comply earphone tips at CES circa 2013.

This tweak simplifies device connection switching for AirPods

Anthony Bouchard ∙ Updated November 8, 2021

Apple advertises the AirPods and AirPods Pro connectivity experience as ‘magical’ and ‘seamless,’ but if you’ve ever tried to connect your AirPods to another device of yours, then you’ve likely experienced the widespread frustration in which they connect to your most recently-used device instead. It’s easy to fix this when it happens, but it’s also somewhat cumbersome and time-consuming to say the least.

Anyone who is even the least bit familiar with the aforementioned experience will almost certainly come to appreciate the likes of a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called AirPopupConnect by iOS developer nicho1asdev, as it aims to make the process of pairing your AirPods or AirPods Pro to a different device noticeably faster and easier.

At some point, they’ll just run out of battery, but with a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called AirPods Case Low Battery by iOS developer Jackson Sykes, you can at least receive a low battery notification banner when the charging case’s charge gets too low for comfort.
