Apple Third-Gen Apple AirPods Features
Apple's third-gen AirPods are the improved version of the company's second-generation AirPods, with it featuring a new design, breakthrough audio features, a longer battery life, and other features that guarantees "a magical experience" to those who use it.
The device comes with a custom driver and a high dynamic range amplifier that produce a bass with crisp, clean high frequencies. Its microphone cover uses an acoustic mesh to help reduce the sound of the wind, allowing the user's voice to come across distinctly on calls.
It also uses computational audio to bring Adaptive EQ and spatial audio with dynamic head tracking that tunes sound in real-time based on how they fit in the user's ear and creates a three-dimensional theater-like experience with Dolby Atmos to provide users with an optimal experience.
Thanks to this, users can feel immersed in the songs and videos they listen to and watch alongside the calls they take.
Aside from these features, these AirPods know if and when they're being worn and when not, allowing them to pause and play media whenever they're worn or not. They also have audio-sharing features allowing them to be paired with other Apple devices, providing users with the chance to share the audio stream between two sets of Apple devices.
Last but not least is the AirPods' battery life - they offer an extra hour of battery life over the previous generations, with up to six hours of listening time and up to four hours of talk time. It also has fast charging, allowing it to acquire enough charge that lasts an hour in just five minutes.
