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% shorter than AirPods 2nd gen and includes a force sensor to easily control music and calls.

The AirPods 3rd Generation with Wireless Charging Case offers personalized spatial audio with dynamic head tracking that creates a captivating, three-dimensional soundscape for your favorite music, TV shows, and movies. With advanced gyroscopes and accelerometers, these AirPods work seamlessly to monitor your head movements and deliver sound that makes you feel like you're at the center of the action, fully immersed in every note, dialogue, and sound effect.¹

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.
