with Personalised Spatial Audio
It’s magic, remastered.
With Personalised Spatial Audio that places sound all around you.
Adaptive EQ that tunes music to your ears.
And longer battery life that charges up in a snap.
It shrugs off sweat and showers, and delivers an experience that’s simply magical.
Taking sound in totally new directions.
Personalised Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking places sounds all around you to create a three-dimensional listening experience for music, TV shows, movies and more — immersing you in sounds from every direction so it feels like you’re in your very own concert hall or cinema.1
Music on a more personal note.
Adaptive EQ automatically tunes music to your ears. Inward-facing microphones detect what you’re hearing, then adjust low- and mid‑range frequencies to deliver the rich details in every song, customised for you in real time.
Bass hits an all-time high.
An Apple-designed dynamic driver, powered by a custom amplifier, renders music in exceptionally detailed sound quality — so you revel in every tone, from deep, rich bass to crisp, clean highs.
Mute the breeze.
Covered in a special acoustic mesh, an inset microphone in each earbud minimises wind noise when you’re on a call — so your voice is always heard loud and clear.
You heard it here first. HD voice quality for FaceTime.
Connect on FaceTime in crisp, HD quality with a new AAC-ELD speech codec. And with support for Personalised Spatial Audio, Group FaceTime calls sound more true to life than ever.
Style from ear to ear.
With a contoured design and shorter stem, AirPods are designed to direct sound into your ears — in a refined look anyone can appreciate.
Pinch- perfect control.
The force sensor gives you even more control over your entertainment. You can press to play, pause and skip through songs, or answer and end calls.
Showers? No sweat.
AirPods, the Lightning Charging Case and the MagSafe Charging Case are rated IPX4 sweat and water resistant, so they’ll withstand anything from rain to heavy workouts.2
A case full of energy.
Both the Lightning Charging Case and the MagSafe Charging Case give AirPods up to 30 hours of listening time.3 The beauty of the MagSafe Charging Case is its compatibility with MagSafe and other wireless chargers — for power in a click.
- Up to 6 hours of listening time with one charge.3
- Up to 30hours of total listening time with the case.3
An instant connection.
Place AirPods near your iPhone or iPad and tap Connect to pair with every device in your iCloud account. If you’re playing music on your Mac, you’ll be able to answer a call on your iPhone — without having to switch devices.4
A great sense of detection.
An enhanced skin-detecting sensor knows the difference between your ear and other surfaces, so audio only plays when you’re wearing AirPods — and pauses when they’re in your pocket or on a table.
Always-on “Hey Siri”.
Play music, make calls, get directions or check your schedule simply by using your voice. Just say “Hey Siri” to activate your favourite personal assistant and stay on top of everyday tasks.5
Announce Notifications.
Siri can read your important messages or alerts as they arrive — and you can even reply to messages with just your voice.5
Enhanced Find My.
Track down your AirPods with the Find My app. See how close they are with proximity view, get separation alerts if they’re out of Bluetooth range — or have them play a sound so you can locate them.
Audio Sharing.
Easily share a song or show between any two sets of AirPods. Simply bring AirPods near the iPhone, iPad or Apple TV you’re listening to and connect instantly.6
