Apple already posted this week new iPads and updated Macs before, now the AirPods follow. This is what the second generation of in-ears has to offer.
The new AirPods do not have a different design, although everyone suspected that beforehand. They look the same as Apple's first wireless in-ears and would therefore theoretically fit into the first generation's storage case. But there was a lot going on inside. The new headphones have an H1 processor built into them, which is supposed to speed up switching between devices and dramatically increase talk time. It is also possible to call up Apple's voice assistant with "Hey Siri!"
Wireless charging case is available separately
However, Apple also offers a model without a case for wireless charging. This is cheaper and has the same features as the version with the case for wireless charging. This means that there is also the H1 chip here, among other things. Apple also thought of users of the first AirPods and released the wireless charging box without AirPods in the Apple Store.
But what does all the fun cost? Apple charges 179 euros for the AirPods without a wireless charging case. So they are a little more expensive than the first AirPods. The version with the new case costs a full 229 euros. The case for wireless charging without AirPods is available for 89 euros.
