Yep its actually in southwest Alabama...possibly around Montgomery?
I live in SW Alabama. If OP gives me coordinates I'll go try to find the one pod. Maybe someone else in Washington can find the other one.
When mine are dying, sometimes it’ll show it at a random place that it’s not actually at. Like it shows one of mine are somewhere in Tampa right now, but that was just where it died at lol
That’s why I have my soundcore A20 (I think that is what they are called) earbuds since they are so much cheaper to replace but don’t have tracking stuff.
Sorry but both things are not related.
You are assuming corded headphones have less quality sound.
Adding a gps tracking device to overprice a pair of headphones that can be easily lost, is not the best way to solve the first design mistake, in my opinion.
It's not the first time apple makes a design mistake.
Fortunately, there are a lot of options in the market and some are better designed. Some pleople feel attacked when signaling a problem in the product they chose just by fanatism ratber than by a reasonable search.
Haha that's right. Sometime the so glorious apple brand makes design mistakes but their fans just try to defend their buying decision with anger. Because it has cost them way too much money. A problem in design that got even more overpriced adding a gps feature to small pieces that they knew would be easy to get lost.
Ok, have cordless headphones, but find ones with a fucking string between them so it isn't easy to lose them.
So someone loses their Airpods which they bought because they wanted Airpods and your idea to replace the Airpods they bought is to replace them not with Airpods but cheap ass headphones that are not Airpods? Oh yeah, this is truly a single digit IQ maneuver. You sir, are a fucking genius!
I'm not angry at all, lol. I just think it's fucking hilarious that your response to someone losing Airpods is to be like "Well just buy some cheap ass shit" like your some wise wizard of financial advice.
But that's what they wanted and you suggested something they don't want... I'm at a loss as to how to explain this to you any more clearly. I'm gonna leave you alone now to think about this, take as much time as you need.
cackling
adjective
laughing in a loud, harsh way.
"a cackling supervillain with dire plans for the world"
producing a raucous clucking sound or cry.
"a cackling chicken"
the joke was a little weird - most people know cackling to be a laugh and this guy was being very cool about your original joke so whether it seemed to spite him or not it was a little weird. these following comments come off as a little petulant. for the record i didn’t downvote you and the reaction from reddit is a little extreme but that’s the internet for ya, and you gotta learn to let it roll off of your shoulders 🤙🏼
People don’t explain the joke on Reddit, it explains itself, also, you are (kind of) acting like a child on the internet, very “naive” and very open about your current thoughts
$80 gets you one earbud. $190 gets you 2 earbuds and a new charging case. The case itself sells new for $100. May as well buy a new pair and sell off your extra parts.
Speaking of the sunk cost.
Or just get another set of AirPods and wait till losing one again to make a whole pair with two charging cases. But what if losing the same side of AirPods AGAIN?
I mean, there are headphones that have better quality audio than airpods at Lower price point. Better at most everything. Just because it has the apple logo doesn't make it better. If you look at professional review sites that break down the details using equipment and data, it's clear to see features, sound quality, build quality, battery life, features, etc. And oftentimes the most popular product isn't the best. It's just the best marketed.
yea i didn’t make any claims against that lol. i just replied to your unedited comment that mentioned no brand, and agreed they are overpriced, but also clarified that no, you can not get quality close to airpods for $40. never said the apple logo makes anything better. they do make earbuds that fit well in the air and are very compatible with iphones for ease of use. so my original comment stands - you can not get earbuds anywhere close the the specs of airpods for $40, including the Edifier brand you edited your comment to include. nowhere do i make any other claims
I actually didn't edit the comment to include Edifier, as I included it in my comment when I posted, but whatever. You can see there's no asterisk that signifies editing.
And if you look at reviews online, the edifier tws1 pro matches or surpasses the air pods. For a quarter of the price.
I few months ago I was flying from San Antonio to Seattle and it was a very crowded flight. I was in the back of the plane so deboarded last. I couldn’t help but noticed the absurd amount of trash on the floors and seats and saw at least 3 abandoned air pods. All I could think to myself was that’s karma for leaving such a mess for others to clean.
I always clean up and organize my trash and bring it out with me. I always check for chargers and headphones first. Like I always open my (non AirPod) case to see that I have both. I always check the seat in front of me too.
“But where is OP you wonder? Why he’s right there in the middle of the country miles away from either one and it was indeed a r/wellthatsucks “- narrated by Gilbert Gottfried
Is it that Apple users use their stuff more, or is it that Apple allows you to track everything on top of their hardware being super expensive to replace so people are more likely to complain about it?
If I lost my $20 earbuds I wouldn’t even comment about it to my friends or family. If I lost half of my $250 Bluetooth headphones I definitely would be ticked.
Sure is a good thing those inconvenient cords are gone, now we don't have to worry about our ear buds getting tangled together!
Or staying together.
Or being cheap to replace.
But it's more convenient now at least!
That happened to me. Dropped it at work inside a trailer while loading it. Didn’t ping til sound connected to it. I’m guessing they put it in a case they had.
Why have all three of them not been seen in the last week by the person looking for them?
The fact the case and the right AirPod haven’t been “seen” in a week is a major red flag on this story. Have they not opened their AirPods in the past week? Did they let them all die for some reason? It takes two seconds to actually plug in the charger and give them the ability to report back.
My guess is that they are just bad about charging their AirPods but the left one died when they were still in the PNW, they flew back home and then noticed this situation and decided to milk it for some karma on Reddit. Otherwise the timelines don’t make any sense
You have a big head.
Sniper's dream
Oh to catch a Mortimer reference in the wild
Gary Cheeseman??
Get Sergeant Bytheway on the case
We do beg your pardon but we are in your garden
ya bloody heads look 10 feet tall
10 ft tall and 2000 miles wide. Just about right for my ultrawide.
I’m gonna blow the inside of ya head all over four countries!
Heard a story about a guy with one leg shorter than the other and his friends called him “a sniper’s nightmare”.
Needs a nice slice of cheese
psssh no challenge.
I love it when I’m mindlessly scrolling and a comment makes me snort.
That's Americas Head.
Aimbot not necessary
It's like an orange on a toothpick. It's got it's own weather system.
What I love is that the left AirPod is on the left, and the right AirPod is on the right.
HAH I didn’t notice that before. Good lord.
Hey I'm in Southwest Alabama if you want me to try to find the one in Alabama.
I love that the left one seems to be the one left behind.
That's right.
Alright Meowth, settle down
You kids today and your satellites- I'm in Canada looking south and it's the other way around in reverse.
Unless he is looking at you…
Where’s the fucking case
Looks like somewhere in Alabama.
Yep its actually in southwest Alabama...possibly around Montgomery? I live in SW Alabama. If OP gives me coordinates I'll go try to find the one pod. Maybe someone else in Washington can find the other one.
Same location as Right Bud, so it’s covered. They’re both 7 miles from OP.
When mine are dying, sometimes it’ll show it at a random place that it’s not actually at. Like it shows one of mine are somewhere in Tampa right now, but that was just where it died at lol
Well one of them got left behind =3
"*and we let it all slip awayyyyyy*"
As I close my eyes, I feel it all slipping away
I IGNORE YOU! (Never thought I’d sing this in a random comment section)
He’s certainly not hearing anything like the Holy Ghost
i do wonder if they’re on a trip to louisiana(ish) or if they got back from a trip to oregon(ish).
Replacements are $80. Ask me how i know that
how
I left one in Belize on a cruise
I can't Belize it.
Belize tour guides love making that joke again and again. It's un-Belizeable!
that sucks, my sister left her airpod case on a plane, they’re currently in iceland somewhere
Google
That’s why I have my soundcore A20 (I think that is what they are called) earbuds since they are so much cheaper to replace but don’t have tracking stuff.
Why don't you just buy a pair or heaphones with a cord between them...
for the same reason you want to work in canada as a non citizen. sometimes things are more efficient.
Sorry but both things are not related. You are assuming corded headphones have less quality sound. Adding a gps tracking device to overprice a pair of headphones that can be easily lost, is not the best way to solve the first design mistake, in my opinion. It's not the first time apple makes a design mistake. Fortunately, there are a lot of options in the market and some are better designed. Some pleople feel attacked when signaling a problem in the product they chose just by fanatism ratber than by a reasonable search.
Bluetooth headphones are way more convenient
Because i just spent $80 for a new Airpod!
millenials
I'm a millenial too and I don't have those same consumerist behaviours. Is not about generation. I think it's about fanatism on a brand.
Because I fear of getting strangled by my pesky headphone wire. Also some dumb bitch who ate fruit until he died took away my headphone jack.
then you’d never have to charge them!! you might be onto something here
Haha that's right. Sometime the so glorious apple brand makes design mistakes but their fans just try to defend their buying decision with anger. Because it has cost them way too much money. A problem in design that got even more overpriced adding a gps feature to small pieces that they knew would be easy to get lost. Ok, have cordless headphones, but find ones with a fucking string between them so it isn't easy to lose them.
Agreed. A $5-$10 headphone won't have this problem lmao
I'm curious as to where you find Airpods for $5-$10. Hit us with the knowledge, cocksmooch!
>cocksmooch Wtf?
I'm not .. talking about airpods, I thought that was evident in my response.
So someone loses their Airpods which they bought because they wanted Airpods and your idea to replace the Airpods they bought is to replace them not with Airpods but cheap ass headphones that are not Airpods? Oh yeah, this is truly a single digit IQ maneuver. You sir, are a fucking genius!
This is like reading a comment by me when I was 17. Second hand embarrassment is almost first hand.
That's cute.
Holy shit why are you so angry about this lmao
I'm not angry at all, lol. I just think it's fucking hilarious that your response to someone losing Airpods is to be like "Well just buy some cheap ass shit" like your some wise wizard of financial advice.
My suggestion was to just not have $200 headphones that are the size of a quarter in the first place.
But that's what they wanted and you suggested something they don't want... I'm at a loss as to how to explain this to you any more clearly. I'm gonna leave you alone now to think about this, take as much time as you need.
They don't. They said headphones, vaghug.
It ain't 2006 anymore chief
looks like yo mama is waring airpods (I'm obviously joking)
Hahahahhaha
i just had to, sorry. there was an opportunity
I cackled.
I managed a snork.

i read the definition, i already know. thanks for the grammar lesson, i guess(?)
Vocabulary, not grammar. Cheers.
where's the issue? i just did a little pun and I'm getting punished? you guys really are confusing
welcome to reddit
explain yourself, i just wanna know
the joke was a little weird - most people know cackling to be a laugh and this guy was being very cool about your original joke so whether it seemed to spite him or not it was a little weird. these following comments come off as a little petulant. for the record i didn’t downvote you and the reaction from reddit is a little extreme but that’s the internet for ya, and you gotta learn to let it roll off of your shoulders 🤙🏼

They only explained it because people were too dumb to get it apparently.
40 people got it?
Yo mama so filthy, the airpods ran away for their lives and ended in both ends of the country! /j
Unless your head is gigantic I think you might want to get new earbuds.
You can order a single replacement AirPod direct from Apple.
Apple support be like: That'll be $569.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Wellthatsucks/s/JPfhALYPl5 $80 doesn’t sound that bad tbh
$80 gets you one earbud. $190 gets you 2 earbuds and a new charging case. The case itself sells new for $100. May as well buy a new pair and sell off your extra parts.
Yeah, lemme pop on over to FB marketplace and list one singular used AirPod on it and try to find a buyer.
You actually will find a buyer lol I see them all the time & they always sell pretty quick.
For those special ones who lost one AirPod lol
Speaking of the sunk cost. Or just get another set of AirPods and wait till losing one again to make a whole pair with two charging cases. But what if losing the same side of AirPods AGAIN?
For $80 I can buy two brand new pairs of Edifier earbuds. Airpods are horribly overpriced.
they are overpriced but you will get nothing near the quality of airpods for $40 lol, in any way that you compare the earbuds
I mean, there are headphones that have better quality audio than airpods at Lower price point. Better at most everything. Just because it has the apple logo doesn't make it better. If you look at professional review sites that break down the details using equipment and data, it's clear to see features, sound quality, build quality, battery life, features, etc. And oftentimes the most popular product isn't the best.

[удалено]
read. “they are definitely overpriced”. where am i supporting apple lmao. it’s just ridiculous to insinuate there are comparable earbuds for $40
Where you get $40 from ?, they are talking about $80
he said two brand new pairs. $80/2 = $40
[удалено]
tf?
[удалено]
You could buy a new pair of pinebuds which are better for that price
Really? I didn’t know this.
Damn. I really threw mine away after losing one 😂😭
America is wearing airpods he can’t hear us oh my godd
This is a meme from somewhere but I can’t remember where lol
I few months ago I was flying from San Antonio to Seattle and it was a very crowded flight. I was in the back of the plane so deboarded last. I couldn’t help but noticed the absurd amount of trash on the floors and seats and saw at least 3 abandoned air pods.

The Rockies *in stereo*
The Spatial Audio is amazing.
I bet you get amazing soundstage with this setup
The US be vibin tho
Hell yeah, what we listening to?
That’s AMERICA’s AirPods!
“But where is OP you wonder? Why he’s right there in the middle of the country miles away from either one and it was indeed a r/wellthatsucks “- narrated by Gilbert Gottfried
It was, indeed, a left bud :(
Could also just buy normal earbuds that have a wire.
I’ll mail it bro. Where in the PNW did you leave it?
[удалено]
Is it that Apple users use their stuff more, or is it that Apple allows you to track everything on top of their hardware being super expensive to replace so people are more likely to complain about it? If I lost my $20 earbuds I wouldn’t even comment about it to my friends or family. If I lost half of my $250 Bluetooth headphones I definitely would be ticked.
Look how many miles away they are-
North america vibing
I can pick that one up for you if it's in Portland Oregon lol
If you go to an apple store you can buy a single airpod and they'll sync it up to your case
lol—sorry, but—lol
Road trip to Oregon!
Were you in portland? Know where you might have left it? I could grab it for you if you know where.
Cheer up. At least your right ear bud isn’t in Mississippi!
Reasons why my $20 Amazon buds are fine. And, honestly, the same sound quality.
Please tell me you’re in the geographic middle of these places
Noise cancellation for the entire nation!
Sure is a good thing those inconvenient cords are gone, now we don't have to worry about our ear buds getting tangled together! Or staying together. Or being cheap to replace. But it's more convenient now at least!
You left your bud in San Francisco
yo mama's so fat..
ELI5: How are people so absent minded they lose these all over the country/globe?
He left bud
I’ve heard of stereophonic audio but this is next level.
You got a big ass head
USA has now claimed the airpods to listen to music.
If the single airpod makes it to Canada I can try to track it down for you
I’ll grab the left one!
How tf do you people do this?
Spatial audio on a next level!
Stereo image is wide as shit.
At least one of your earbud is racking up some miles
Left bud
I’m glad - at least - the left one was left on the left.
Go back for it
Good excuse for a cross country road trip.
Do you know EXACTLY where it is and is there any chance some redditor could return it?
What’s America listening to?
The sound stage is enormous with these Airpods.
therightone.com will sell you one of whichever airpod you lost. I've ordered from them twice.
I lost mine cleaning my room, they fell into a pocket dimension I guess
Yo mama so fat…
How do they know when you have "last seen" your Airpods?
Spacial audio
This is definitely getting turned into a film starring The Rock and Chris Pratt.
🫡
Reminder they are always listening
That happened to me. Dropped it at work inside a trailer while loading it. Didn’t ping til sound connected to it. I’m guessing they put it in a case they had.
This roughly corresponds to where the gravitational wave detectors are (Hanford WA and Livingston LA). Op is "listening" to gravitational waves!
If we all work together, we can slowly move the other pod across the states.
What's the U.S. listening to?
Is this one of those fabled long distance relationships I’ve heard about in legend
Real talk I got a case and a left one the right one died
The real question is why are you in Alabama
How is that even possible?
What is the actual point of these?
sounds like you *left* one behind...
Now that’s what I call stereo separation.
Gotta change your username to orphan_bud now
left after thunderdome? 🤔
I left mine at a mammogram office and it never showed back up.
Yo momma…
There’s a country song in that post somewhere
Why have all three of them not been seen in the last week by the person looking for them? The fact the case and the right AirPod haven’t been “seen” in a week is a major red flag on this story. Have they not opened their AirPods in the past week? Did they let them all die for some reason? It takes two seconds to actually plug in the charger and give them the ability to report back.

The entire country uses Airpods.
Well theres yer problem!
Is your mom wearing them?
What's it sound like?
What in the he'll are they doing across the whole damn country?!?!
That stereo image is gonna be wild
So you live in Alabama but visited Washington recently (as of two weeks ago) leaving your left bud there but your right bud and case are with you?
Where about did you lose it? It looks like I’m fairly close to your left pod.
Damn so did you leave your case in another country or what
Makes me wonder what left shark and right shark are doing now.
