Personal spatial audio with dynamic head tracking
AirPods are lightweight and have a snug fit. They have just the right angle for optimal wearing comfort and sound. The stem is 33 percent shorter than second-generation AirPods and includes a pressure sensor to quickly control music or take calls.
The sound sounds all around you, so that you are completely absorbed in your music, series or film. The gyroscopes and accelerometers in AirPods track your head movements so it sounds like you're in the middle of the music or scene.
Adaptive EQ
Music is automatically tailored to the shape of your ear. The microphones on the inside detect what you hear, after which the mid-high and low frequencies are adjusted. This way you can hear the details in every song.
Longer battery life
Battery life is an hour longer than second-generation AirPods, delivering up to 6 hours of listening time and up to 4 hours of talk time. Just a 5-minute charge gives you about an hour of listening or talk time. And with the Lightning charging case you can listen for up to 30 hours.
Sweat and water resistant
AirPods and the Lightning charging case are water-resistant to the IPX4 standard, so they can withstand a heavy shower or a tough workout.
Magical in every way
Setting them up is a snap: as soon as you take them out of the case, they are immediately ready for use. You can automatically switch between your Apple devices. The in-ear detection knows the difference between your ear and other surfaces. With Announce Notifications with Siri, you can have your notifications read aloud through your AirPods. And with Audio Share, you can listen to the same song or series together, both on your own AirPods.
