The latest AirPods are fixed with the H1 chip, which is meant to provide performance efficiencies, faster connect times between the pods and your devices and the ability to ask for Siri hands-free with the “Hey Siri” command.

The H1 chip also allows for the AirPods to offer 50 percent more talk time using the headphones, because of its performance efficiency. Switching between devices is two times faster than the previous-generation AirPods, according to Apple.

The second-gen AirPods are existing with the standard wired charging case ($159), or a new Wireless Charging Case ($199). A standalone wireless charging case is also available for purchase ($79).

“AirPods delivered a magical wireless experience and have become one of the most beloved products we’ve ever made. They connect easily with all of your devices, and provide crystal clear sound and intuitive, innovative control of your music and audio,” stated Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “The world’s best wireless headphones just got even better with the new AirPods. They are powered by the new Apple-designed H1 chip which brings an extra hour of talk time, faster connections, hands-free ‘Hey Siri’ and the convenience of a new wireless battery case.”

Two times faster switching and 50 percent more talk time might sound like small perks for a relatively expensive accessory, but it came with lack of voice control and the time it takes to switch devices. The introduction of “Hey Siri” alongside the new H1 chip, as well as much faster switching between devices, should remarkably increase the user experience with these new AirPods.

The new AirPods are available on Apple.com and the Apple Store app, with in-store availability beginning next week.
