Breakthrough wireless design
  • Completely wireless headphones are automatically on and always connected
  • AirPods sense when they’re in your ears and know when you’re listening
  • Music pauses when you take one or both AirPods out, and playback automatically resumes when you put them back in within a few seconds
  • Use one AirPod or both — the sound and microphones are always in the right place
Hands-free “Hey Siri”2
  • AirPods now support hands-free “Hey Siri” — simply say, “Hey Siri,” and your favourite personal assistant is ready
  • Use “Hey Siri” to change songs, adjust the volume, make a call or get directions
  • Hear incoming callers announced and say, “Hey Siri, answer the call”, or double-tap to answer or end the call
  • Double-tap to play or skip forward for music and podcasts
Powered by the Apple H1 headphone chip
  • Apple-designed H1 chip delivers up to 50 per cent faster transferring of calls from iPhone to AirPods4
  • You also get up to two times faster switching between your other devices1
  • Ultra-low power usage and fantastic battery life for amazingly small and light devices
Fantastic sound and voice
  • High-quality AAC wireless audio provides incredible-sounding music over a more robust wireless connection
  • Each AirPod has dual optical sensors that work with a motion-sensing accelerometer to detect when they’re in your ears
  • For calls and Siri, beamforming microphones work with a separate voice-detecting accelerometer to focus on your voice and filter out background noise
50 per cent more talk time and 24 hours of listening3
  • Up to 5 hours playback and now 3 hours of talk time on a single charge
  • Store and charge your AirPods with the included charging case
  • Choose from the standard charging case that uses the Lightning connector, or the new Wireless Charging Case that uses the Lightning connector and is also compatible with Qi-compatible charging mats
  • Both charging cases provide multiple charges for AirPods for more than 24 hours of listening time
  • 15 minutes of charge time in the case gives you 3 hours of listening time or 2 hours of talk time
Seamless use with your Apple devices
  • Setup is simple with your iOS device — just open the lid to the AirPods case and hold it close
  • After AirPods are connected to your first iOS device, they’re automatically set up for your other devices, including your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, Mac and Apple TV signed in to your iCloud account
  • Your iPhone and Apple Watch are simultaneously connected, and AirPods will automatically switch between them
  • You can listen to audio on Mac or iPad with a single click or tap
