Re: Apple Airpods Pro 2

[Joshua Hendrickson]

Ijust heard that the battery life of the airpods pro 2 is only about 4 hours or so. I’d never buy a set of earbuds with such low battery life. Sent from Joshua’s radical chariot!!!

Since I don't own any Airpods, I thought I would ask here. If that is the case, then it sounds as though they might not be as convenient as hearing aids that have their own internal microphones and so on. I read an article about them, but it didn't say exactly how they would work as hearing aids.

I found today that Amazon is selling them for $199, which is $50 less than Apple. Mine are arriving today since we have Prime and they are available for same day shipping. I do have iOS 18 beta on my iPad 6th Generation, so I can test them with iOS 18.  I do not know if the hearing aid stuff is in the beta.        Richard, USA "INTROVERTS UNITE ...
