AirPods - Hackdot

I wrote off the airpods when they first came out, but then received a pair as a gift. They ended up being one of my must have items. I wish they wouldn't automatically switch to the lower bit rate when they connect to a mac or that I could tell the mac to never use them as a microphone.

However, I also see little reason to upgrade.

Strange that they switch to a lower bit-rate on the Mac for you. I use mine all the time with my MacBook, only when an application starts using the mic will it downgrade to a lower bit-rate. Do you have any software running that continuously claims the microphone?

I only have that happen when I use Siri (accidentally). Perhaps there's some setting related to that.
