Easily share a song or show between two sets of AirPods.⁴ A skin detecting sensor knows to play audio only when you’re wearing AirPods and pauses when you take them off. And you can track down your AirPods and Charging Case with the Find My app.⁵
Long battery life
Get up to 5 hours of listening time on a single charge.⁶ And get up to 30 hours of total listening time using the case.⁷
Redesigned case
The Charging Case comes with USB-C charging capabilities and is more than 10% smaller by volume than the previous generation.⁸
Dust, sweat and water resistant
AirPods 4 and the Charging Case are rated IP54 dust, sweat and water resistant, so they’ll withstand rain and heavy workouts.⁹
