4. Many different sensors

Bluetooth – headphones AirPods will come to the buyer “stuffed” with all sorts of sensors. This is to conserve battery power. For example, with the help of these sensors, the device can determine what their owner is currently doing: listening to music or talking.

Through the use of optical sensors and a special accelerometer that detects the movement of the headphones, EarPods can arbitrarily turn off playing music if you are not using them at the moment. They are also able to detect if one of the two headphones is not in use and redirect the volume and microphone operation. A voice accelerometer and a microphone built into each earphone will help determine when a conversation is taking place in mobile mode and drown out extraneous noise using a special noise reduction system.

3. Easy call Siri

Using wireless headphones AirPods from Apple, it is extremely easy to communicate with the voice assistant Siri. In order to call the virtual assistant, you need to “tap” the headphone twice and Apple – the device to which the headset is connected, will appear Siri. At the same time, you can communicate with the assistant through headphones, without touching the mobile device, and give him commands: call someone, turn on a track or find out the weather.

2. Fast charging

AirPods, by themselves, do not have a long battery life. This is about 5 hours of simple listening to music, or 2 hours of talk time. This is very small, especially if you have to make a lot of calls. Luckily Apple came up with a way out. The kit, which comes with new headphones on sale, comes with a special case that acts as a wireless charger for the headphones. According to statements, this case will be able to charge AirPods more than five times in a row. That is, you can use a headset from Apple all day long without using an outlet.

However, we are already accustomed to the fact that any lithium-ion batteries do not charge as quickly as we would like. And given the fact that AirPods will discharge quickly, engineers Apple have equipped the device with fast charging technology. The earbuds can be fully charged in just 15 minutes from a special case, and then continue listening to music for the next 5 hours.

Well, in order to find out the level of battery charge, you can simply, without taking out your phone, ask Siri about it: “Siri, what about the battery of mine AirPods?”
