Originally offered only on the AirPods Pro & Max, the 3rd generation of Apple AirPods with Lightning Charging Case now feature spatial audio technology with dynamic head tracking, and Dolby Atmos compatibility. Unlike your traditional left/right stereo playback, spatial audio envelops you in sound and can adjust positioning as you move your head, so you’re always in the sweet spot. When watching Dolby Atmos movies, you’re aurally immersed to feel like you’re in the center of the action.

Adaptive EQ is another feature that works to intelligently improve your audio experience. Whether you’re at work or on the train, it automatically adjusts playback in real-time, so that the AirPods can deliver music closer to what you’re supposed to hear.

Crafted with sweat and water resistance, the 3rd gen Apple AirPods and charging case can handle an intense session at the gym or getting caught in the rain during a run.

On a single charge, the true wireless AirPods deliver up to 6 hours of playback with another 24 hours available within the included charging case. Just place them inside and close the lid to start recharging them. When it’s time to charge up the case, simply plug in the included Lightning to USB Type-C cable to a power adapter (not included).

If you’re in a rush or just forgot to charge your AirPods, a quick 5-minute charge will give them up to 1 hour of playback.

On many iPhones, Macs, Apple Watches, and iPads, the 3rd gen AirPods can pair with them as if by magic. Once you open the case, they connect immediately and can automatically switch between your Apple devices, letting you share audio easily.
