Apple AirPods with Charging Case
Apple Airpods is a pair of wireless earphones that works together with other Apple devices like the iPhone. The Airpods are very lightweight and weigh only 8 g. The accompanying case where you store the earphones weight 38 g.
Apple surprised the tech community during the launch of iPhone 7. The company controversially ditched the earphone jack and announced that the new phone instead pair with a wireless Airpods. The pairing is accomplished with the Bluetooth W1 chipset that automatically connects to devices running iOS 10, MacOS Sierra and WatchOS 3.

- Design will polarise opinion

When Apple pulled the headphone jack off the iPhone 7, it also unveiled a new set of wireless earbuds called AirPods, and claimed they were so great, users wouldn't mind the missing headphone jack.

In a number of ways the Apple AirPods are genuinely amazing. As a piece of engineering they're stunning, fitting the most advanced and user-friendly wireless technology into an incredibly compact design. Without a doubt, the W1 chip is ushering in a new dawn for wireless headphones.- Brilliant

AirPods review: the best non-isolating wireless earbuds, but only for Apple
In some ways I love the AirPods. Apple's W1 chip really does what it claims: solves Bluetooth connectivity issues that have plagued all but a few truly wireless earbuds, and with excellent battery life too. The case is also brilliant and I don't even mind the stalk-like design.- rock-solid connection
- brilliant case
- long battery life
- seamless connection between multiple Apple devices
- no lag or lipsync issues
- good if not quite spectacular audio quality
- no isolation
- less stable when connected to non-Apple devices
- lack of controls
- reliance on Siri requiring an internet connection
Apple AirPods review: we love them, but people keep looking at us
So what do we think of Apple's latest creation? In short, we love the AirPods. They are technically brilliant and we're big fans of how well they work with iOS (we wouldn't bother if you use Android). The sound quality is also superb. However, there is one big drawback and that's their appearance.- They work brilliantly
- Unobtrusive
- So easy to pair
- They look a bit weird
- Easy to lose one
- Case needs to be less slippy
