    AirPods are the new USB cables: the first orientation you try when replacing in case is always wrong.

        I’m thinking of selling two small dot stickers. One for the right AirPod & one for the right AirPod slot on the case. The sticker will initially be black, but next year I’ll release a rose gold sticker. Btw, pretty sure a sharpie would work too.

        Patrick, indeed. The USB quagmire was very real to me also until I discovered an observation. Most USB cables have the trident logo on the “top” this has saved me likely dozens of hours and frustation.pic.twitter.com/AZRJrg8fLx

        Patrick, as for the AirPod the situation is similar. I observed the bulbous ear input system is always pointing to the edge when inserting into the charger. The magnetic also seem to guide it in this orientation.pic.twitter.com/4OeZWm2uWx

        Never happened to me. It is simple. Right ear plug goes into right slot of the case, granted you opened it correctly.

        The trick: only wear one at a time. Makes the batteries last twice as long too.

        AirPod from left ear goes into left side of case, right ear into right side. A subtle detail that I derive a lot of value from.

        I hope these authors will consider writing a sequel to their Falling Buttered Toast paper: http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0143-0807/16/4/005/meta …

        USB cables also suck. 1/4 inch headphone cables are still the best quality and user experience for music. Can't screw them up and the sound quality is amazing. If you don't agree you don't own a set.
