AirPods are wireless Bluetooth earbuds designed by Apple Inc. They were first announced on September 7, 2016, alongside the iPhone 7. Within two years, they became Apple’s most popular accessory.^[4][5] The most recent model, AirPods (3rd generation), are a replacement to the 1st and 2nd generation models, although the 2nd generation is still sold on Apple’s website. These models are Apple’s entry-level wireless headphones, sold alongside the AirPods Pro and AirPods Max.

In addition to playing audio, the AirPods contain a microphone that filters out background noise as well as built-in accelerometers and optical sensors capable of detecting taps and pinches (e.g. double-tap or pinch to pause audio) and placement within the ear, which enables automatic pausing of audio when they are taken out.^[6]

On March 20, 2019, Apple released the second-generation AirPods, which feature the H1 chip, longer talk time, and hands-free «Hey Siri» support. An optional wireless charging case which costs extra was added in the offerings.

On October 26, 2021, Apple released the third-generation AirPods, which feature an external redesign with shorter stems similar to AirPods Pro, spatial audio, IPX4 water resistance, longer battery life, and MagSafe charging capability.

Models[edit]

1st generation[edit]

Apple announced the first generation AirPods on September 7, 2016, at an Apple Special Event alongside the iPhone 7 and Apple Watch Series 2. Apple originally planned to release the AirPods in late October,^[7] but delayed the release date.^[8] On December 13, 2016, Apple began taking online orders for AirPods. They were available at Apple Stores, Apple Authorized Resellers, and select carriers on December 20, 2016.^[9][10]

AirPods contain a proprietary Apple W1 SoC processor which helps optimize battery use as well as the Bluetooth 4.2 and audio connections. The advanced connectivity functions of the W1 requires devices running iOS 10, macOS Sierra, watchOS 3, or later.^[1] They can also function as standard Bluetooth headphones when connected to any device that supports Bluetooth 4.0 or higher, including Windows laptops and Android devices.^{[11][12][13][14]}

There are two microphones inside each AirPod, one facing outward at ear level and another at the bottom of the stem.^[15][16] Each AirPod weighs 0.14 oz (4.0 g), and its charging case weighs 1.34 oz (38 g). The AirPods are capable of holding a charge of around five hours. Charging them for fifteen minutes in the case gives three hours of listening time.^[16] The charging case provides 24 hours of total usage time.^[17] During a complete dismantling, each AirPod was found to contain a 93 milliwatt hour battery in its stem, while the charging case contains a 1.52 watt hour or 398 mAh at 3.81 V battery.^[18]

The model numbers for the first-generation AirPods are A1523 and A1722.^[19]

Production of the first-generation AirPods was discontinued on March 20, 2019, after the second generation was released.^[20]

2nd generation[edit]

Apple announced the second generation AirPods on March 20, 2019.^[21][22] They are the same design as the first generation, but have updated features.^[22] They include an H1 processor which supports hands-free «Hey Siri», Bluetooth 5 connectivity. Apple also claims 50% more talk time and faster device connection times.^[22] The «Announce Messages with Siri” feature was added in iOS 13.2, which allows the user to dictate text messages to Siri.^[23]

Second-generation AirPods can be purchased with the same charging case as the first generation, or for an additional price bundled with the Wireless Charging Case, which can be used with Qi chargers. The Wireless Charging Case can be purchased separately and is compatible with first-generation AirPods. It moves the charging indicator LED to the exterior of the case.^[24] The Wireless Charging Case was initially announced in September 2017 alongside the AirPower charging mat, but was delayed by AirPower’s protracted development and eventual cancellation.^[25] The second generation AirPods remained on sale with a price cut following the release of the third generation in October 2021, but are now only available with the lightning charging case.

The model numbers for the second-generation AirPods are A2032 and A2031.^[19]

3rd generation[edit]

Apple announced the third generation AirPods on October 18, 2021. They feature an external redesign with shorter stems similar to AirPods Pro and use similar force touch controls. They include support for spatial audio and Dolby Atmos, IPX4 water resistance, skin detection and a case supporting MagSafe charging. Apple claims increased battery life, with AirPods lasting six hours and the charging case providing up to 30 hours.^[26] Preorders of the third generation AirPods began on October 18, 2021. The third generation AirPods were released on October 26, 2021, and are priced at $179.^[27] In September 2022, Apple released a $169 variant with a charging case lacking Qi and MagSafe charging compatibility.^[28]

The model numbers for the third-generation AirPods are A2565 and A2564.^[29]

Technical specifications[edit]

All of the electronics and circuitry responsible for the audio drivers and Bluetooth transmission are stored entirely within the head of the AirPod. The battery is stored in the stem. The battery and circuit boards are connected via flex/ribbon cable.^{[citation needed]}

Compatibility[edit]

AirPods are compatible with any device that supports Bluetooth 4.0 or higher, including Android and Windows devices, although certain features such as automatic switching between devices are only available on Apple devices using iCloud.^[12]

The first-generation AirPods are fully compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch models with iOS 10 or later, Apple Watch models with watchOS 3 or later, and Mac models with macOS Sierra or later.^[30]

The second-generation AirPods are fully compatible with devices running iOS 12.2 or later, macOS Mojave 10.14.4 or later, and watchOS 5.2 or later.^[31]

The third-generation AirPods are fully compatible with devices running iOS 15.1 or later, iPadOS 15.1 or later, macOS Monterey 12.0 or later, and watchOS 8.1 or later.^[32]

Support[edit]

The lithium-ion batteries in AirPods can see significant degradation over time, with two-year-old sets lasting for less than half of the advertised five hours.^[33][34] Apple has a program to service batteries and purchase replacement individual AirPods and charging cases. The replacement of one or both AirPods or the charging case has a lower price with AppleCare+ than without.^[35] Apple offers battery servicing for free with AppleCare+ and for a fee without. However, this is just a replacement service, as AirPods batteries cannot be removed.^[35]

AirPods contain upgradeable firmware. Its original firmware was version 3.3.1. In February 2017, Apple released version 3.5.1,^[36] 3.7.2 in May 2017,^[37] and then 6.3.2 on March 26, 2019.^[38] In July 2019, version 6.7.8 was released and 6.8.8 followed in September 2019.^[3] In June 2020, firmware 2D15 was released (G2).^[39] In September 2020, firmware 3A283 (G2 and Pro) was released^[40] and in April 2021, firmware 3E751.^[41][42] AirPods automatically sync through Apple’s iCloud service, allowing users to switch audio sources to other supported devices connected by the same Apple ID.^[43]

Sales[edit]

Analysts estimate Apple sold between 14 million and 16 million AirPods in 2017.^[51] In 2018, AirPods were Apple’s most popular accessory product, with 35 million units sold.^[52][53] 60 million units were sold in 2019.^[54] Analysts estimate AirPods make up 60% of the global wireless headphone market and that Apple’s entire Wearables products (Apple Watch, AirPods, and AirPods Pro) “is now bigger than 60% of the companies in the Fortune 500”.^[55][56][54] An estimated 5-7% of Apple’s revenue from AirPods comes from replacement earbuds and cases.^[57] Analysts estimate Apple sold 120 million or so pairs in 2021.^[58]

Cultural impact[edit]

On announcement day, AirPods were compared to Apple’s previously existing EarPods (2012–present), with The Verge noting «They look… just like the old EarPods, with the wires cut off.»^[59] Initially mocked by many for their unfamiliar design (including CNN asking «Would people actually wear these?» in 2016),^[60] their popularity grew rapidly over the years and they were voted the most popular «hearable» brand of 2019.^[5]

At an Apple earnings call in 2019, CEO Tim Cook called AirPods “nothing less than a cultural phenomenon.”^[61] AirPods had become a viral sensation with memes circulating across the internet about its appearance and its relation to the removal of the headphone jack in iPhones.^[62] However, as time wore on, AirPods became known as a status symbol.^[58][63][64]

Criticism[edit]

One criticism of AirPods is their high price; however, at launch they were actually priced less than most «true wireless» earbuds on the market (e.g. the Samsung Gear IconX and Bragi Dash) and remain competitively priced with similar products from other major brands.^[65][66][67]

Another prominent criticism was a problem that caused the charging case battery to deplete at a rapid rate despite the AirPods not being used. Users were reporting upwards of 30% idle discharge per day.^[68] In response, Apple released a firmware update (version 3.5.1) for the AirPods, which addressed connectivity and battery drain problems.^[69]

According to the Financial Times, AirPods are difficult if not impossible to recycle, and not designed to be repairable.^[70]

Replacement for hearing aids[edit]

In 2022, researchers at the Taipei Veterans General Hospital in Taiwan compared the performance of AirPods 2 and the original AirPods Pro using Live Listen on an iPhone or iPad to compare to medical hearing aids. Oticon Opn 1 was the high-end comparison, with Bernafon MD1 as the more affordable alternative. The performance of the systems were at least assisting participants with Pro (including noise cancelling features) being better and approximating the hearing aids.^[71]

Competition[edit]

Some consumers expressed the viewpoint that there were better options for wireless earphones based on quality and cost.^[72][73] One of Apple’s biggest competitors is Samsung, which markets wireless earbuds that are very similar to AirPods.^[74] Another similar product line is from Apple’s Beats Electronics, which sells products such as the Powerbeats Pro wireless earbuds.^[75]

The model numbers for the third-generation AirPods are A2565 and A2564.^[29]

Technical specifications[edit]

All of the electronics and circuitry responsible for the audio drivers and Bluetooth transmission are stored entirely within the head of the AirPod. The battery is stored in the stem. The battery and circuit boards are connected via flex/ribbon cable.^{[citation needed]}

Compatibility[edit]

AirPods are compatible with any device that supports Bluetooth 4.0 or higher, including Android and Windows devices, although certain features such as automatic switching between devices are only available on Apple devices using iCloud.^[12]

The first-generation AirPods are fully compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch models with iOS 10 or later, Apple Watch models with watchOS 3 or later, and Mac models with macOS Sierra or later.^[30]

The second-generation AirPods are fully compatible with devices running iOS 12.2 or later, macOS Mojave 10.14.4 or later, and watchOS 5.2 or later.^[31]

The third-generation AirPods are fully compatible with devices running iOS 15.1 or later, iPadOS 15.1 or later, macOS Monterey 12.0 or later, and watchOS 8.1 or later.^[32]

Support[edit]

The lithium-ion batteries in AirPods can see significant degradation over time, with two-year-old sets lasting for less than half of the advertised five hours.^[33][34] Apple has a program to service batteries and purchase replacement individual AirPods and charging cases. The replacement of one or both AirPods or the charging case has a lower price with AppleCare+ than without.^[35] Apple offers battery servicing for free with AppleCare+ and for a fee without. However, this is just a replacement service, as AirPods batteries cannot be removed.^[35]

AirPods contain upgradeable firmware. Its original firmware was version 3.3.1. In February 2017, Apple released version 3.5.1,^[36] 3.7.2 in May 2017,^[37] and then 6.3.2 on March 26, 2019.^[38] In July 2019, version 6.7.8 was released and 6.8.8 followed in September 2019.^[3] In June 2020, firmware 2D15 was released (G2).^[39] In September 2020, firmware 3A283 (G2 and Pro) was released^[40] and in April 2021, firmware 3E751.^[41][42] AirPods automatically sync through Apple’s iCloud service, allowing users to switch audio sources to other supported devices connected by the same Apple ID.^[43]

Sales[edit]

Analysts estimate Apple sold between 14 million and 16 million AirPods in 2017.^[51] In 2018, AirPods were Apple’s most popular accessory product, with 35 million units sold.^[52][53] 60 million units were sold in 2019.^[54] Analysts estimate AirPods make up 60% of the global wireless headphone market and that Apple’s entire Wearables products (Apple Watch, AirPods, and AirPods Pro) “is now bigger than 60% of the companies in the Fortune 500”.^[55][56][54] An estimated 5-7% of Apple’s revenue from AirPods comes from replacement earbuds and cases.^[57] Analysts estimate Apple sold 120 million or so pairs in 2021.^[58]

Cultural impact[edit]

On announcement day, AirPods were compared to Apple’s previously existing EarPods (2012–present), with The Verge noting «They look… just like the old EarPods, with the wires cut off.»^[59] Initially mocked by many for their unfamiliar design (including CNN asking «Would people actually wear these?» in 2016),^[60] their popularity grew rapidly over the years and they were voted the most popular «hearable» brand of 2019.^[5]

At an Apple earnings call in 2019, CEO Tim Cook called AirPods “nothing less than a cultural phenomenon.”^[61] AirPods had become a viral sensation with memes circulating across the internet about its appearance and its relation to the removal of the headphone jack in iPhones.^[62] However, as time wore on, AirPods became known as a status symbol.^[58][63][64]

Criticism[edit]

One criticism of AirPods is their high price; however, at launch they were actually priced less than most «true wireless» earbuds on the market (e.g. the Samsung Gear IconX and Bragi Dash) and remain competitively priced with similar products from other major brands.^[65][66][67]

Another prominent criticism was a problem that caused the charging case battery to deplete at a rapid rate despite the AirPods not being used. Users were reporting upwards of 30% idle discharge per day.^[68] In response, Apple released a firmware update (version 3.5.1) for the AirPods, which addressed connectivity and battery drain problems.^[69]

According to the Financial Times, AirPods are difficult if not impossible to recycle, and not designed to be repairable.^[70]

Replacement for hearing aids[edit]

In 2022, researchers at the Taipei Veterans General Hospital in Taiwan compared the performance of AirPods 2 and the original AirPods Pro using Live Listen on an iPhone or iPad to compare to medical hearing aids. Oticon Opn 1 was the high-end comparison, with Bernafon MD1 as the more affordable alternative. The performance of the systems were at least assisting participants with Pro (including noise cancelling features) being better and approximating the hearing aids.^[71]

Competition[edit]

Some consumers expressed the viewpoint that there were better options for wireless earphones based on quality and cost.^[72][73] One of Apple’s biggest competitors is Samsung, which markets wireless earbuds that are very similar to AirPods.^[74] Another similar product line is from Apple’s Beats Electronics, which sells products such as the Powerbeats Pro wireless earbuds.^[75]

AirPods Pro are wireless Bluetooth in-ear headphones designed by Apple, initially released on October 30, 2019.^[4][5] They are Apple’s mid-range wireless headphones, sold alongside the base-level AirPods and highest-end AirPods Max.

The first-generation AirPods Pro use the H1 chip found in second-generation AirPods, but add active noise cancellation, transparency mode, automated frequency profile setting, IPX4 water resistance, a charging case with wireless charging, and interchangeable silicone tips.^[6]

The second-generation AirPods Pro were announced in September 2022, and feature the H2 chip, Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, improved sound quality and noise cancellation, longer battery life, volume adjusting gestures, Find My tracking, Apple Watch charger compatibility and extra-small sized ear tips.

Models[edit]

1st-generation[edit]

Apple announced AirPods Pro on October 28, 2019, and released them two days later on October 30, 2019.^[6] They include features of standard AirPods, such as a microphone that filters out background noise, accelerometers and optical sensors that can detect presses on the stem and in-ear placement, and automatic pausing when they are taken out of the ears. Control by tapping is replaced by pressing a force sensor on the stems.^[7] They are rated IPX4 for water resistance.^[3]

The AirPods Pro use the H1 chip also found in the second and third-generation AirPods, that supports hands-free «Hey Siri». They have active noise cancellation, accomplished by microphones detecting outside sound and speakers producing precisely opposite «anti-noise». Active noise cancellation can be turned off or switched to «transparency mode» that helps users hear surroundings. Noise cancellation modes can also be switched in iOS or by pinching the stems of the AirPods using the force sensor.^[8]

The H1 chip is embedded in a unique system in a package (SiP) module enclosing several other components, such as the audio processor and accelerometers.^[9]

Battery life is rated to be equal to the second-generation AirPods at five hours, but noise cancellation or transparency mode reduce it to 4.5 hours due to the extra processing.^[10] The charging case advertises the same 24 hours of total listening time as the standard AirPods case. It also features Qi standard wireless charging compatibility.^[10] In October 2021, Apple updated the bundled charging case with MagSafe.^[11] Like AirPods, AirPods Pro have received criticism for their battery life.^[12]

AirPods Pro come with three sizes of silicone tips. There is a software test in iOS called the Ear Tip Fit Test that «[checks] the fit of your AirPods ear tips to determine which size provides the best seal and acoustic performance» to ensure a correct fit, as well as a feature called «Adaptive EQ» which automatically adjusts the frequency contour, claimed to better match the wearer’s ear shape.^[6] Starting in early 2020, Apple started selling tip replacements for AirPods Pro on their website.^[13]

With iOS 14 and iPadOS 14, Apple added a spatial audio mode designed to simulate 5.1 surround sound. Supported apps include the Apple TV app, Disney+, HBO Max and Netflix.^[14][15] Spatial audio requires an iPhone or iPad with an Apple A10 processor or newer.^[16] tvOS 15 brought spatial audio to the Apple TV 4K.^[17]

iOS 14 also added the ability to apply headphone accommodations to transparency mode, allowing the AirPods Pro to act as rudimentary hearing aids.^[18] In October 2021, a new Conversation Boost mode was added as a customization of the regular Transparency mode. It boosts voices above background noise and music.^[19]

2nd-generation[edit]

The second-generation AirPods Pro were announced at an Apple media event on September 7, 2022, and were released on September 23, 2022. They use an updated H2 chip with Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, and feature improved sound quality and noise cancellation, and longer battery life. They also include extra-small sized ear tips, and AirPods support swiping up and down to adjust volume. Ear tips are physically compatible with first generation AirPods Pro as they use the same connector, but Apple notes the second generation ear tips use a less dense mesh and recommends against intermixing them for acoustical consistency.^[20][21]

The charging case includes an Apple U1 chip that supports Find My tracking, and includes a speaker for locating and status updates. In addition to Lightning, Qi and MagSafe chargers, it is also compatible with Apple Watch chargers. A lanyard loop was also added to the side of the case.^[22][23]

Compatibility[edit]

Support for AirPods Pro was added in iOS 13.2, watchOS 6.1, tvOS 13.2, and macOS Catalina 10.15.1.^[10][8] They are compatible with any device that supports Bluetooth, including Windows and Android devices, although certain features such as automatic switching between devices are only available on Apple devices using its iCloud service.

AirPods — беспроводные Bluetooth наушники от корпорации Apple. Представляют собой два раздельных наушника (TWS), использующих жесты для взаимодействия с пользователем: вынимание наушника из уха приостанавливает воспроизведения (функция «пауза»); возврат его на место — продолжит воспроизведение; двойное касание запускает голосового ассистента Siri, либо управляет воспроизведением музыки^[1]. Наушники AirPods совместимы с устройствами Apple на iOS 10 или новее, а также с ПК и ноутбуками на базе macOS Sierra и часами на базе watchOS. Наушники воспроизводят звук с любого устройства, совместимого со стандартом Bluetooth 4.0. На устройствах с ОС Android доступен жест «двойное касание» для управления^[2].

История

1-ое поколение

AirPods были представлены 7 сентября 2016 года вместе с iPhone 7 и Apple Watch Series 2. Apple планировала начать продажи AirPods в конце октября^[3], но сдвинула срок на более поздние даты^[4]. С 13 декабря 2016 года открыт онлайн-заказ наушников, а с 20 декабря они стали доступны в Apple Store и у ресселеров^[5][6]. Цена наушников в комплекте с чехлом — 159 долларов США (около 10,5 тысяч рублей)^[6][7].

С выпуском iOS 10.3 добавлена возможность поиска потерянных AirPods путем активации звука через приложение «Find My iPhone»^[8].

В сентябре 2017 года, вместе с выходом iPhone 8/8 Plus и iPhone X, поддерживающих беспроводную зарядку Qi, был представлен новый блок питания также дополненный ресивером Qi^[9].

AirPods содержат фирменный SoC-процессор Apple W1, который помогает оптимизировать использование батареи, а также Bluetooth 4.2 и аудиовыходы. Для расширенных функций подключения W1 требуются устройства под управлением iOS 10, macOS Sierra, watchOS 3 или более поздней версии. Они также могут функционировать как стандартные наушники Bluetooth при подключении к любому устройству, поддерживающему Bluetooth 4.0 или выше, включая ноутбуки с Windows и устройства Android.^[10][11][12]

Внутри каждого AirPod есть два микрофона, один из которых направлен наружу на уровне уха, а другой — в нижней части ножки. Каждый AirPod весит 0,14 унции (4,0 г), а его чехол для зарядки весит 1,34 унции (38 г). AirPods способны удерживать заряд около пяти часов. Зарядка их в течение пятнадцати минут в чехле дает три часа прослушивания.^[13] Зарядный чехол обеспечивает 24 часа общего времени использования.^[14] Во время полного демонтажа было обнаружено, что каждый AirPod содержит батарею емкостью 93 милливатт-часа в стержне, в то время как зарядный чехол содержит батарею емкостью 1,52 ватт-часа или 398 мАч при напряжении 3,81 В.^[15]

Номера моделей AirPods первого поколения — A1523 и A1722.^[16]

Производство AirPods первого поколения было прекращено 20 марта 2019 года, после выхода второго поколения.^[17]

2-ое поколение

Apple анонсировала AirPods второго поколения в марте 20, 2019.^[18][19] Они имеют тот же дизайн, что и первое поколение, но имеют обновленные функции. Они включают в себя процессор H1, который поддерживает громкую связь «Hey Siri», подключение по Bluetooth 5.^[19] Apple также утверждает, что на 50 % больше времени в режиме разговора и быстрее подключается к устройству.^[19] В iOS 13.2 была добавлена функция «Анонсировать сообщения с помощью Siri», которая позволяет пользователю диктовать текстовые сообщения Siri.

AirPods второго поколения можно приобрести с тем же чехлом для зарядки, что и первое поколение, или за дополнительную плату в комплекте с чехлом для беспроводной зарядки, который можно использовать с зарядными устройствами Qi. Чехол для беспроводной зарядки можно приобрести отдельно, он совместим с AirPods первого поколения. Он перемещает светодиодный индикатор зарядки на внешнюю сторону корпуса.^[20] Чехол для беспроводной зарядки был первоначально анонсирован в сентябре 2017 года вместе с зарядным ковриком AirPower, но был отложен из-за затянувшейся разработки AirPower и возможной отмены.^[21] AirPods второго поколения остались в продаже со снижением цен после выпуска третьего поколения в октябре 2021 года, но теперь доступны только с чехлом для зарядки lightning.

Номера моделей AirPods второго поколения — A2032 и A2031.^[16]

3-е поколение

Apple анонсировала AirPods третьего поколения 18 октября 2021 года. Они имеют внешний редизайн с более короткими ножками, похожими на AirPods Pro, и используют аналогичное управление force touch. Они включают в себя поддержку пространственного звука и Dolby Atmos, водонепроницаемость IPX4, распознавание кожи и чехол, поддерживающий зарядку MagSafe. Apple заявляет об увеличении времени автономной работы: AirPods работают шесть часов, а зарядный чехол обеспечивает до 30 часов.^[22] Предварительные заказы AirPods третьего поколения начались 18 октября 2021 года. AirPods третьего поколения были выпущены 26 октября 2021 года по цене 179 долларов.^[23] В сентябре 2022 года Apple выпустила вариант стоимостью 169 долларов с зарядным чехлом, не совместимым с Qi и MagSafe charging.^[24]

Номера моделей AirPods третьего поколения — A2565 и A2564.^[25]

Аппаратное обеспечение

Apple использовала собственный чип Apple W1, построенный на архитектуре ARM, что позволило оптимизировать потребление электроэнергии из батареи и обрабатывать передачу звука через Bluetooth 4.0^[26][27].

Каждый наушник AirPod весит 4 грамма; в комплекте с ними поставляется коробка (футляр) для хранения и зарядки весом 38 граммов. Заряда AirPods достаточно для использования на протяжении 5 часов. Также коробка имеет собственный аккумулятор на 24 часа использования наушников и заряжается от Lightning^[28]. В ходе разбора в AirPods были обнаружены батареи на 93 мВт*ч, а в коробке — на 1,52 Вт*ч^[29].

AirPods имеют обновляемую прошивку, но точная схема доставки обновлений неизвестна^[30].

Критика

Отмечалась высокая стоимость наушников AirPods. Перед тестированием высказывались сомнения в надежности крепления, но тестирование их опровергло^[31].

Также отмечалась высокая скорость разряда коробки для хранения и зарядки, даже когда AirPods не используются: отдельные пользователи сообщали о потере 30 % заряда за сутки^[32]. Apple заявила об исправлении ряда проблем с подключением и использованием батареи в прошивке 3.5.2^[33].

Появление AirPods заставило и другие компании выпускать беспроводные наушники. В частности, новые продукты в этом сегменте выпустили Sony и Samsung Electronics^[34][35][36].

В 2018 году на профильных форумах все чаще стали встречаться жалобы пользователей AirPods на тошноту и головные боли^[37].

В 2020 году вышли AirPods Max, которые стоят 550 долларов США. Пользователи высказывали негативные отзывы, такие как: скудный комплект, странный чехол, нескладная конструкция и неоправданно высокая цена. AirPods Max были восприняты холодно фанатами техники Apple, на фоне популярных AirPods Pro и AirPods.
