Apple today announced new AirPods, the second generation of the world’s most popular wireless headphones. AirPods revolutionized the wireless audio experience with a breakthrough design and the new AirPods build on the magical experience 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 come with either a standard charging case or a new Wireless Charging Case for convenient charging at home and on the go. The new AirPods and AirPods with Wireless Charging Case are available to order on apple.com and the Apple Store app starting today, and in Apple Stores beginning next week.


Same price, unless you want a wireless charging case, then its 200.

I'm going to wait and see reviews on the new H1 chip, primarily the battery life. I've had my Airpods for ~18 mos and the batteries last about half of what they used to. It's about time I replace them with something and this seems like a perfect opportunity.

Are they noise canceling? If not mine are fine until they add that. That's really the only gripe I have about them except obviously could always use more battery life for talk time.

Y'all are nuts paying that much for these things. Anything bluetooth like this the battery will fade. They hey siri thing is crap as you can just raise your phone.

To Brettasaurus, you will likely not get isolated as these look to be semi open back to allow more soundstage and be aware of your surroundings.

Spend your money how you like but I would just get some <$50 dollar ones on Amazon and wait till the battery dies then get some more.

this makes me believe that Apple has something HUGE to announce (streaming TV service competition with Netflix) for their thing at the end of this month.


They want the full 2-3 hours to just go over that....I hope its worth it.

Mother fricker! I just bought new ones yesterday for my son's gift today for his birthday. I wonder if I can take these back?
