AirPods are lightweight and offer a contoured design. They sit at just the right angle for comfort and to better direct audio to your ear. The stem is 33 percent shorter than AirPods (2nd generation) and includes a force sensor to easily control music and calls. Sound is placed all around you to create an immersive, three-dimensional listening experience for music, TV shows, and movies. Gyroscopes and accelerometers in AirPods work together to track your head movements - so it sounds like youre in the center of songs and scenes. Music is automatically tuned to suit the shape of your ear. Inward-facing microphones detect what youre hearing, then adjust low- and mid-range frequencies to deliver the rich details in every song.
