With AirPods, setting up and using wireless headphones has never been easier.
The all new Apple W1 chip enables the groundbreaking innovations in AirPods, with dual optical sensors and accelerometers in each AirPod that work with the W1 chip to detect when AirPods are in your ear, so they only play when you are ready to listen. If you want something a bit more exquisite, the Apple Watch Hermes will be sold for $1,149 and will come with a special-edition band and face. Simply remove them to automatically pause the music, or just remove one to have a conversation and automatically resume when you put it back. Double-tapping the AirPods enables Siri, and the microphone is created to focus on voice and filter out external sound.
