  • 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)

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.

      Totally amazed with the sound quality of AirPods

Goo I was not sure what to expect when I purchased these. I definitely consider myself an audiophile so the bar is very high when it comes to listening devices. Good over-the-ear headphones are readily available. Good quality in-the-ear headphones vary widely. So I was on the fence about shelling out the cash for these without trying them first. Much to my surprise and extreme delight, the pods are worth every dollar. The sound quality is better than expected. Sound reproduction is great at all volume levels which I still can't believe. Sound reproduction delivers very good bass midrange, and treble. The perception of sound spatialization is excellent. The same music I have been listening to for months sounds better than ever. Who knows how Apple comes up with these quality products but I am flat out impressed. That said if sound is all you need, the price is high. If "quality" sound is a requirement, it's a small price to pay.

Their sound quality is only slightly better than the standard earpods, however their functionality and ease of use makes them well worth the price. I use them at work, at coffee shops and on bike rides. I can't think of a better set of headphones for these situations!
