AirPods

Completely new design
AirPods are lightweight and have a contoured design. They're angled for comfort and better sound direction in your ear. The stem is 33 percent shorter than AirPods (2nd generation) and includes a force sensor for easy control of music and calls.

Surround sound with dynamic head tracking
Sound is all around you to create an immersive, three-dimensional experience for listening to music, TV shows, and movies. The gyroscopes and accelerometers in AirPods work together to track your head movements — so it sounds like you're at the center of songs and scenes.

Adaptive EQ
Music is automatically adjusted to fit the shape of your ear. Inward-facing microphones detect what you hear, then adjust the low and mid frequencies to deliver rich detail in every song.

Longer battery life
AirPods have an extra hour of battery life compared to AirPods (2nd generation) for up to 6 hours of listening and up to 4 hours of talking. An improved skin recognition sensor accurately turns AirPods on or off, conserving battery when needed. With only 5 minutes of charging, you will get about an hour of listening or talking. And the MagSafe charging case provides more than 30 hours of battery life and is compatible with MagSafe and wireless chargers.

Sweat and water resistant
Both the AirPods and the MagSafe charging case are rated IPX4 waterproof — so they'll withstand anything from rain to tough workouts.

Magical in every way
Setup is simple—just take them out of the case and they’re ready to go. Automatically switch between Apple devices. In-ear detection recognizes the difference between your ear and other surfaces. Announce Notifications with Siri gives you the option to have Siri read your notifications through your AirPods. And with Audio Sharing, you and a friend can easily share a song or show between any two sets of AirPods.
