  • 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!

      Best pair of truly wireless earphones I have ever owned.

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.

      Lost a star because of a feature I expected

      Overall I am very pleased with my apple AirPods. I have one huge disappointment though. While researching the AirPods I kept reading about a feature to seamless Overall I am very pleased with my apple AirPods. I have one huge disappointment though. While researching the AirPods I kept reading about a feature to seamlessly connect between my phone and my computer as to not need to actually go into bluetooth settings and select connect. When I purchased them and found out that feature had been removed I was extremely disappointed. I was tempted to only give them 3 stars, but other than that one feature I am very pleased.

      Disappointing

      Negatives: Bluetooth: Connectivity has been a major issue. Daily dropped calls, losing connection while listening to music, etc. Microphone: The microphone i Negatives: Bluetooth: Connectivity has been a major issue. Daily dropped calls, losing connection while listening to music, etc. Microphone: The microphone is super sensitive; it captures EVERYTHING. Make sure you're in a quiet place when talking on the phone. Battery Life: Nowhere near as good as advertised. Positives: Ear compatibility: The airpads do sit nicely in the ears. Good for walking around your house listening to music (when the bluetooth connection works). Prognosis: While the airpods do work ok when in a home environment, I would not recommend buying them for more than $40-$50. If you can get them at that price point, then enjoy! Otherwise, buy a lower cost alternative that will maintain a bluetooth connection.
