Overview
Even easier. Even more magical.
With the new AirPods you will experience wireless headphones in a completely new way. Just take them out of the charging case and they're ready for use on your iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad or Mac.
With a tap, you set up the AirPods and they work like magic. They are automatically switched on and always connected. The AirPods even detect when they are in your ears and pause when you take them out.
To adjust the volume, change the song, call somebody or let you know the way, say "Hey Siri" and what you want to do. You can only carry one or both AirPods and double tap to play a track, or skip to the next when listening to music or podcasts.
AirPods offer 5 hours of playback1 and 3 hours of talk time per charge.2And with their charging case, which holds more charges for more than 24 hours of playback, they keep up with everything you do.3Quickly charge? After only 15 minutes in the charging case, you can listen to 3 hours of music4 or 2 hours.5
The AirPods are controlled by the new Apple H1 chip and detect whether they are in your ear through optical sensors and acceleration sensors. The H1 chip automatically redirects the audio and activates the microphone, whether you use both AirPods or just one. And when you're talking on the phone or talking to Siri, an additional Speech Recognition Accelerometer and Wave Bundling Microphones will reduce the amount of outside noise and clearer voices.
