The third-generation AirPods are a major improvement over previous models. They feature larger drivers, support for Apple’s adaptive EQ, and Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking. The design is more comfortable, ensuring they can be worn all day without discomfort. Additionally, they offer sweat resistance, automatic pausing and improved battery life, with six hours of listening time and 24 hours with the charging case.

In our original review, expert Jonathan Bray praised the AirPods for their superb sound quality, enhanced functionality and usability. They outperform many competitors, especially for iPhone owners, making them the best standard AirPods yet.

In addition to their excellent sound quality, they offer easy setup and seamless switching between Apple devices. The new skin-detect sensors improve playback accuracy, while the force sensor on the stem allows for easy control of music and calls. The MagSafe charging case is convenient too, aligning perfectly with MagSafe chargers for faster and more efficient charging.

What’s more, the integration of the AirPods with Siri allows for hands-free control, and the robust Find My network support makes it easier to locate misplaced AirPods.
