Apple AirPods, The World’s Most Popular Wireless Headphones , Are Getting Even Better Images courtesy of Apple bite gadgets T he second generation of the world’s most popular wireless headphone, Airpods, was recently launched by Apple earlier this year. Thanks to a breakthrough in design, Airpods revolutionised the wireless audio experience and built upon the magical experience that customers love. The new Apple-designed H1 chip, developed specifically for headphones, delivers performance efficiencies, faster connect times, more talk time and the convenience of hands-free ‘Hey Siri’. “AirPods delivered a magical wireless experience and have become one of the most beloved products we’ve ever made. They connect easily with all of your devices, and provide crystal clear sound and intuitive, innova- tive control of your music and audio,” said Phil Schiller, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing. “The world’s best wireless headphones just got even bet- ter with the new AirPods. They are powered by the new Apple-designed H1 chip which brings an extra hour of talk time, faster connections, hands-free ‘Hey Siri’ and the convenience of a new wireless battery case.” With a new Apple-designed H1 chip which features custom audio architecture, this creates a revolutionary audio experience and improved synchronisation. The H1 chip allows the Airpods to deliver up to 50 per cent more talk time compared to the first generation Airpods. You can switch between devices while listening to music on the iPhone, Apple Watch or iPad with two times faster connect times. The feature ‘Hey Siri’ makes it easier to change songs, make a call, adjust the volume or get directions. The new AirPods come with either the standard charg- ing case or the new Wireless Charging Case. Each case holds additional charges for more than 24 hours of total listening time, ensuring that they are charged and ready to go whenever you are. The Wireless Charging Case is designed to offer the freedom of wireless charging with Qi-compatible charging solutions. An LED light indicator located on the front of the case conveniently shows the charge status with just a glance. Existing Air- Pods customers can purchase the standalone Wireless Charging Case. The second generation Airpods are available online, through the Apple Store app and Apple stores. https://www.apple.com/
