Developing highly user-friendly products coupled with its remarkable innovations have helped Apple maintain its supremacy for years. Despite the competitors trying their best to match Apple innovations by creating appropriate substitutes, it hardly impacts the faith of Apple users. Incredible innovative capabilities have helped Apple remain the leader in the market by earning the high trust of investors that helped the company set market cap records repeatedly. The scope of integration of various Apple devices is one of the most glaring examples of user-friendliness as you can seamlessly move across the devices comfortably. You can connect your Apple devices and create the setup that helps you enjoy music or videos in the way you want. But there are exceptions when such connectivity of the devices does not work the way you want. For example, you cannot hear music from Mac on your Airpods.
What are Airpods?
To make listening to music and sounds from your iPhone and iPad easy and comfortable, Apple introduced the Apple AirPods, in-the-ear tiny pearl-like devices with Bluetooth connectivity. They’re primarily for pairing with your iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV but can also connect with any other Android device. These earbuds are much different from Apple’s simple earbuds with every iOS device.
The differences
All iPhone and iPad users must have used the earbuds at least once. They plug into your phone via an audio connector. The traditional headphone jack disappeared when Apple introduced iPhone7, and the earbuds had a Lightning port connector. All earbuds have media controllers embedded in the wire, which help you control the device.
Apple AirPods are entirely different because these are wireless devices, and the earbuds do not have any connections. Each earpiece is an independent unit complete with Bluetooth radio, and you can pair it separately or together with any other Apple device via Bluetooth. Not only do you get over the fear of tangled wires when using the machines, but you can use the wireless earbuds even when charging your iPhone or iPad via the Lightning port.
Filling the gap
The wireless earbuds are marvelous devices, but they also have their shortcomings. Being compatible with iPhone and iPad only means you cannot use them for listening to your Mac. It is strange Apple left out the Apple computer from the list of compatible devices when the earbuds nicely integrate with all other Android devices. You have to accept reality and use your iPhone or iPad to listen to music using wireless earbuds.
Although Apple leaves the gap unaddressed, other companies have realized how badly users miss the wireless earbuds when using their Apple computers. Today you can use Apple’s wireless earbuds with Apple computers by connecting the devices with the help of an app named AirBuddy.
AirBuddy makes your life easier
AirBuddy rightly fills the void perfectly and delights Apple users by helping them listen to the Mac in the most intimate manner by using the Apple AirPods. With a single click, you can connect the earbuds with the computer. To listen to music from the iTunes library stored in the Apple computer, you must download the AirBuddy app and get going. The app facilitates opening the case of your Apple wireless earbuds placed next to the computer and viewing the current status immediately as you would do on your iPhone or iPad. With a single click, you can connect to the computer’s audio and start listening to all the audio and video stuff loaded in the computer. The pleasure of personal listening is the most significant gift of the AirBuddy app that fills a much-needed gap left by Apple.
Airpods help you extend the battery life of your iPhone or IPad when you are working outside, like in a coffee shop, as you can listen to your computer directly without the intervention of any other device.
