AirPods
Wireless. Effortless.
Magical.
With plenty of talk and listen time,
voice-activated Siri access, and an
available wireless charging case,
AirPods deliver an incredible wireless
headphone experience. Simply take
them out and theyʼre ready to use with
all your devices. Put them in your ears
and they connect immediately,
immersing you in rich, high-quality
sound. Just like magic.
Wireless to the fullest.
After a simple one-tap setup, AirPods are
automatically on and always connected.1
Using them is just as easy. They sense
when theyʼre in your ears and pause when
you take them out. And the AirPods
experience is just as amazing whether
youʼre using them with your iPhone,
Apple Watch, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV.
Your right-hand Siri.
Need a hand? Simply say “Hey Siri” for
assistance without having to reach for your
iPhone. And with Announce Notifications,
Siri can automatically read important
notifications from Messages, Phone,
Calendar, Reminders, and more as they
arrive. You can choose which contacts you
hear notifications from, and Siri wonʼt
interrupt you if youʼre on a call or sharing a
song.2
Hey Siri, Hey Siri, play my
call Dad Chill Mix
Hey Siri, turn up Hey Siri, how do I get
the volume to Prospect Park?
Performance youʼll want
to hear.
Powered by the Apple H1 headphone
chip, AirPods deliver a fast and stable
wireless connection to your devices.
The H1 chip also drives voice-enabled Siri
access and delivers up to 30 percent
lower gaming latency.3 So whether youʼre
playing games, listening to music, or
enjoying podcasts, youʼll experience
higher-quality sound.
Knows when youʼre listening.
Optical sensors and motion accelerometers work
together to automatically control the audio
experience, engaging the microphones for phone
calls and Siri access, and enabling AirPods to play
sound as soon as theyʼre in your ears. You also have
the freedom to wear one or both AirPods, and you
can play or skip forward with a double-tap when
listening to music.
Knows when youʼre talking.
A speech-detecting accelerometer recognizes when
youʼre speaking and works with a pair of
beamforming microphones to filter out external noise
and focus on the sound of your voice.
Lay it down,
charge it up.
With the available Wireless
Charging Case, charging is as simple as
placing the AirPods case on a Qi-certified
charging mat. Thatʼs it. The LED indicator
on the front of the case lets you know that
your AirPods are charging. And when
youʼre away from a charging mat, you can
use the Lightning port to charge.

your AirPods are in your ears, bring your
iPhone close to the device instead.
