Even simpler. Even more magical. With the new AirPods you can experience wireless headphones in a completely new way. Simply take them out of the charging case and they are immediately ready for use with your iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad or Mac.
With one tap, you set up AirPods and they work like magic. They're automatically on and always connected. AirPods even detect when they're in your ears and pause when you take them out.
To adjust the volume, change the song, call someone, or get directions, say "Hey Siri" and what you want to do. You can wear just one or both AirPods, and double-tap to play a track or skip to the next when listening to music or podcasts.
AirPods offer 5 hours of playback1 and 3 hours of talk time on a single charge.2 And with a charging case that holds an additional charge for 24 hours of playback, they can keep up with everything you do.3 Need a quick charge? Just 15 minutes in the charging case gives you 3 hours of music4 or 2 hours of talk time.
The AirPods are controlled by the new Apple H1 chip and use optical sensors and accelerometers to detect whether they are in your ear. The H1 chip automatically forwards the audio signals and activates the microphone - regardless of whether you are using both AirPods or just one. And when you are on the phone or speaking to Siri, an additional accelerometer with voice recognition and wave-focusing microphones ensure less outside noise and a clearer voice.
