  • Some users finding AirPods drop phone call audio when paired with iPhone 6s

    This is definitely a problem.

    While I love my AirPods overall (in terms of convenience), they + iPhone 6s + Apple Watch + WiFi (sometimes) show 3 problems for me:
    1. AirPods disconnect from phone calls.
    2. AirPods disconnect from playing the Music or Podcasts app (and thus pause the playback)
    3. AirPods have frequently gaps/skips/blips in music playback
    One workaround to the phone-disconnect problems seems to be using only ONE AirPod during a phone call.  This decreases the  disconnects.

    I'm not badmouthing AirPods; I love the vision and the convenience.  But we also need to be honest and transparent about the shortcomings of v1 so that Apple engineers can continue improving them.

    I have experienced the same issues (6S + apple watch + apple battery case). I do enjoy my AirPods but the blips during playback are kind of annoying, but the drops during business calls are REALLY annoying. I also notice that there's a delay in connecting (or sometimes doesn't connect at all) when I have snap chat open and i pop an AirPod in my ear. Still like the overall product but hopefully they can iron out these issues.
