Apple Airpods 3rd Generation
AirPods
All-new with Spatial Audio
It’s magic, remastered.
With 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 sprinkles,
Taking sound in totally new directions.
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 theater.
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, customized 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 minimizes wind noise when you’re on a call — so your voice is always heard loud and clear.
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.
Sprinkles?
No sweat.
Both AirPods and the MagSafe Charging Case are rated IPX4 sweat and water resistant, so they’ll withstand anything from rain to heavy workouts.
A case full of energy.
Wirelessly and effortlessly recharge the MagSafe Charging Case on a MagSafe charger.3 Fully loaded, the case gives you up to 30 hours of total listening time.4 And charging AirPods in the case for just 5 minutes generates around an hour of listening time.5
Up to
6 hours of listening time with one charge.6
Up to
30 hours of total listening time with the case.
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.7
A great sense of detection.
An enhanced skin-detect 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.
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.

Overview
All-new design
AirPods are lightweight and offer a contoured design. They sit at just the right angle for comfort and to better direct audio to your ear. The stem is 33 percent shorter than AirPods (2nd generation) and includes a force sensor to easily control music and calls.
Spatial audio with dynamic head tracking
Sound is placed all around you to create an immersive, three-dimensional listening experience for music, TV shows, and movies. Gyroscopes and accelerometers in AirPods work together to track your head movements — so it sounds like you’re in the center of songs and scenes.¹
Adaptive EQ
Music is automatically tuned to suit the shape of your ear. Inward-facing microphones detect what you’re hearing, then adjust low- and mid-range frequencies to deliver the rich details in every song.
Longer battery life
AirPods have an extra hour of battery life compared with AirPods (2nd generation) for up to 6 hours of listening time² and up to 4 hours of talk time.⁵ With just 5 minutes of charge, you’ll get around an hour of listening⁶ or talk time.⁷ And with the MagSafe Charging Case, you can enjoy up to 30 hours of total listening time and charge with compatible MagSafe and wireless chargers.⁸
Sweat and water resistant
Both AirPods and the MagSafe Charging Case are rated IPX4 water resistant — so they’ll withstand anything from rain to heavy workouts.³
Magical in every way
Setup is effortless — pull them out of the case and they’re ready to use. Automatically switch between your Apple devices. In-ear detection knows the difference between your ear and other surfaces. Announce Notifications with Siri gives you the option to have Siri read your notifications through your AirPods. And with Audio Sharing, you and a friend can easily share a song or show between any two sets of AirPods.⁴
