AirPods are wireless Bluetooth earbuds created by Apple. They were first released on December 13, 2016, with a 2nd generation released in 2019 and the premium AirPods Pro released later that year. Within two years, they became Apple’s most popular accessory, turning into a critical success and viral sensation.[3][4] AirPods Wireless Charging Case Technical Specifications
In addition to playing audio, AirPods feature a built-in microphone that filters out background noise, which allows phone calls and talking to Apple’s digital assistant, Siri. Additionally, built-in accelerometers and optical sensors can detect taps (e.g. double-tap to pause audio) and in-ear placement, which enables automatic pausing when they are taken out of the ears.[5] AirPods Wireless Charging Case Technical Specifications
On March 20, 2019, Apple released the 2nd generation AirPods, which feature the H1 chip, longer talk time, and hands-free “Hey Siri” support. An optional wireless charging case was added in the offerings.

Overview
With the Wireless Charging Case, charging is as simple as placing your AirPods in the case and laying it on a Qi-compatible charging mat. The LED indicator on the front of the case lets you know that your AirPods are charging. And when you’re away from a charging mat, you can use the Lightning port to charge. The Wireless Charging Case works with all generations of AirPods and can hold multiple charges. AirPods Wireless Charging Case Technical Specifications
