One time with someone's iPad, a loud noise approached when I charged it. Some people might have the same problem too, even with macs dating back to 2006. Have you guys ever encountered that noise?

Hi all,
I recently purchased an Apple Magic Keyboard with the main purpose of creating a comfortable working space when I don't have my computer with me. The keyboard looks quite good, offering a computer-like experience and is very nice. However, I am experiencing issues with the command key when using the keyboard.

Hey all,
I just got my COULAX CXO4 Bluetooth Ear Buds for Christmas, but unfortunately I'm having trouble connecting it to my iPad Mini 1.
The COULAX CXO4 is a type of bluetooth ear buds. Attached to these is a neckwear device and a switch on the left side of your neck on the neckwear device. And a connect button.
I turned on the switch and it said, "power on", then 3 seconds later it said, "pairing".
At this point I went to Settings>Bluetooth and tapped the correct headphones.

I wanted to know if anybody else is having trouble updating their HomePod from the home app. I don’t see an install button, and the only button I see is update update all devices and that’s not coming up as a button.

Hello all,
Just a question regarding dynamic head tracking with AirPods Pro.
I love it, no worries on that count. What I was wondering was that can we somehow use it with VoiceOver voices😕
It will be great if VO voices could sound like spatial audio. I know it is weird asking for this but has anyone managed to do this?
Thank you all and have a smashing 2022 ahead!

A while ago, I had asked about a recommendation for an adapter for my iPhone 8 that would allow me to charge and use wired headphones at the same time.

The Rockstar from Belkin was recommended to me and I purchased it.

However, I quickly discovered that the cable for it was far too long for me. For example, I could not rest my phone on my lap without kinking/bending the cable. So, now, because of this, the cable is frayed and the device no longer functions.

Hello everyone, I create this topic to discuss and share opinions about headphones or headsets. Soon I will receive a pair of Sennheiser mm 70i, which come with iPhone and iPod controls. Have you ever used them? what do you think? What headphones do you use?

Hello,
I have an 11-inch m1 ipad pro, which I'm going to use Backpack studio & ferrite recording studio on, to record and edit my podcast.
Since backpack studio requires the use of headphones, & bluetooth ones aren't recommended, due to the lag, I found these.
I'm hoping they'd still support "hey siri" and I'm not sure if or how well they'd work with voiceover.
Has anyone used these, and would be willing and able to write about their experience?

Hi: I am an IPhone 4S user and I am looking for some other headphones that would work with my IPhone. I am not a big fan of the earbuds that came with the phone. I want to be able to control the phone like you can with the earbuds but with earphones that go on the ear and not in the ear. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks. Nancy

Hi
Due to Covid-19 I am now working from home for the forseeable future and wanted some advice regarding on ear bluetooth headphones. I don't know if it is currently possible but I would like headphones which enabled me to use my windows laptop whilst also taking calls on my Iphone. I would need to be able to hear audio from my phone and pc at the same time so I can read things and take notes when on a call. I am aware there are some headsets which let you pair more than one device but am I right you can't hear both at once?

Does anyone have any recommendations for a great headset I can use with my Mac and iPhone and iPad. I currently have the sennheiser px100III and I just want to upgrade or get something newer. Thanks

I currently have Beltone hearing aids and find that their app is not fully accessible. Since I will probably be getting new hearing aids, which brand has the most accessible app?

I am a new hearing aid user, and all my interface with media is through the bluetooth connectivity to the hearing aids. My problem is tha the quality of the sounc is so poor that my listening experience with an audio book is severley degraded, let alone music.

Is anyone else having these problems, and does anyone have suggestions.

My hearing aids are Jabra Pro from Costco.

If you’re buying new hearing aids check out the Costco branded (Kirkland) hearing aids that perform same as the latest Phonak devices and cost a third of what you will pay at a private audiology practice. The difference the private practices’ business model is to bundle their charge for future services along with the cost of the hearing aids. At Costco the services are free as are the warranties, tests, etc. They charge only for the hearing aids. I paid $1400 for a pair of KS10 aids after returning my brand new Phonaks (which cost over$4K) because of the cost difference.

Hello friends,
I use the Resound hearing aids which pair with my iPhone. Enter bluetooth speaker (Amazon Echo for the moment) and I have issues. The iPhone pairs fine with the Echo and VO get routed to it. I change the Audio destination to the Default and it gets routed to the iPhone's speakers and not my hearing aids. To my chagrin, I cannot route it back to the Echo. It looks like the 'Audio destination' rotor item is still faulty or I am missing something in settings somewhere.

Hi. I realise that there are Made For IPhone Hearing Aids out there, however, in the United Kingdom, we have the option of obtaining hearing aids via our National Health Service. I wonder if anyone on here is based in the UK and successfully using NHS hearing aids with IOS and Voiceover? If so, can you advise what I need to request from my audiologist, when configuring the hearing aids, to enable me to pair them with my IPhone? Many Thanks.

Hello all,
I’m looking for a solution that can help me hear the instructor clearly over the loud music when I train in the pool. Do I need to purchase a microphone and waterproof headset, or can the IPhone or Apple Watch be used as microphone, and send the instructor’s voice to a bluetooth headphone?
Thank you so much for any feedback.

Hi. I need to know if there is any device that I can use to connect a Hims E-Bot CCTV to my iPad (5th Gen or any other iPad) using the e-Bot's USB cable. We currently use the wireless connection but it lags and is making my son very frustrated. The USB is much more reliable but only works with our computer (desktop unit) but this is problematic cause he can't write while using the computer connected to the E-bot at the same time. The iPad works fine when we use a stand placed right in front of the E-bot but the lag is putting him off working with it. Please help me! Thanks!

Hi all,

I am looking for a headset with a microphone, that the microphone can be muted from the headphone itself, without having to look for the audio mute button in applications, such as skype.
Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, I’m using a brydge keyboard with my ipad air 4, but in order to use the shortcuts that came with ipados 15, all guides mention a key called globe, which serves as the shortcut main key combined with the rest of the keys in order to perform actions.
The thing is that there is no such key as long as I and my sighted partners know in this keyboard and there for I can’t use the shortcuts of this operative system.

It seems like it must be the left botton corner key of each keyboard, but in this one, there is a siri shortcut key instead of the globe one.
