How’s everyone’s experience been going with the AirPods Beta firmware? Any glitches you’ve noticed? Thoughts on Adaptive mode?

I’ll start off: I straight up don’t understand the point of Adaptive transparency. To me it just feels like a worse performing transparency mode, and doesn’t actually block out any noises I’d want it to. My connection and battery life has been good on the beta though, with pretty much only one major bug I’ve noticed. For a couple of days, one of the AirPods at a time would stop reporting its charge percentage to any devices until I put it in the case for 5 minutes. I’ve reported the bug, but also haven’t seen it again all week.

What about you folks?

I definitely agree about the device switching improvements, it’s been working surprisingly well for me. Though I do wish they’d add a button on the device that steals the connection to return it to the other device, rather than just seeing that option on the device whose connection was taken.

Edit: it would appear I’ve caught a case of the dumb, that button totally exists
