  • Overview

    Wireless. Effortless. Magical.

    AirPods will forever change the way you use headphones. Whenever you pull your AirPods out of the charging case, they instantly turn on and connect to your iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, or Mac.(1) Audio automatically plays as soon as you put them in your ears and pauses when you take them out. To adjust the volume, change the song, make a call, or even get directions, just double-tap to activate Siri.

    Driven by the custom Apple W1 chip, AirPods use optical sensors and a motion accelerometer to detect when they’re in your ears. Whether you’re using both AirPods or just one, the W1 chip automatically routes the audio and engages the microphone. And when you’re on a call or talking to Siri, an additional accelerometer works with beamforming microphones to filter out background noise and focus on the sound of your voice. Because the ultralow-power W1 chip manages battery life so well, AirPods deliver an industry-leading 5 hours of listening time on one charge.(2) And they’re made to keep up with you, thanks to a charging case that holds multiple additional charges for more than 24 hours of listening time.(3) Need a quick charge? Just 15 minutes in the case gives you 3 hours of listening time.(4)

      Exceptional!

These are simple to use, sound great, and are great for so many activities including: running, commute to work on the train, listening to podcasts and music, and making your friends jealous. If you're on the fence (as I was) try them out and you will love them. One of the best products Apple has made, it follows the simplistic and high quality design this company is revered for. Great job, Apple!

      Nice! link once and voila works flawlessly every time.

      awesome sound. you can use in one ear at a time, when you are biking , walking around doing home stuff and still be cognizant of sounds and things around you. t awesome sound. you can use in one ear at a time, when you are biking , walking around doing home stuff and still be cognizant of sounds and things around you. the best feature is of course the bluetooth connectivity thats so simple. open the case and put them in your ears. no buttons to press, no shenanigans at all. drawbacks- no colors only white for now. water resistant- maybe maybe not. and if someway they can get rid of the longer microphone stick sticking out of the ears.

      Better than expected but not flawless

      Much to my surprise, these AirPods actually stay in my ears -- not for exercising but just sitting and walking -- something that the lamentable and ill-conceive Much to my surprise, these AirPods actually stay in my ears -- not for exercising but just sitting and walking -- something that the lamentable and ill-conceived EarPods have never done even while merely sitting. Did Apple subtly redesign them, without admitting a design mistake, or, does the lack of a cord with its weight and pull make a difference? They easily sync to my iPad Air 2, iPhone 7 Plus, and Apple Watch series 1. It takes some practice to get the double-tap to Siri just right, because it doesn't work as easily as Apple suggests, but eventually you find the right place and the right amount of tapping force. Siri works quite well through the AirPods, also to my surprise, since it works only adequately for the phone, and works poorly for the iPad. The sound quality of the AirPods is good for jazz. But, the AirPods do have a sync issue with the phone because sporadically, while listening to Apple Music, with the phone sitting next to me, the music will simply stop, despite running the latest version of iOS (10.3.3) and despite an adequate Wi-Fi downstream of 45-50 megs.
