  • 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 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.

      Awesome wireless running headphones!!

      I just got my AirPods yesterday and I love them I seriously don't want to talk them off! They are more comfortable than their wired cousin and the sound quality I just got my AirPods yesterday and I love them I seriously don't want to talk them off! They are more comfortable than their wired cousin and the sound quality is pretty good (not bose obv.) ! I like how they do only connect to one thing at once even if you are sitting with your apple watch mac and phone and ipad there all at once and the bluetooth connection doesn't chop or change around. I ran with my AirPods this morning and it was BLISS! Heaven! no more wires no more adapters the pods just sit there and the double tap to change song is great! Really happy I bought these and the charging inside the case is like a bonus feature.

They feel more s Just got my AirPods today and I am ecstatic about them. They paired seamlessly with my iPhone and their sound is superior to the wired version. They feel more secure in my ears than than the wired pods. My only gripe is the volume control; you shouldn't have to rely on Siri to do that. I'm sure an update or future versions will improve upon this.

      Painful

      Sound is great concept is great size is not for everyone. Please make buds that are not “one size fits all” because they are not and they hurt.
