AirPods contain a proprietary Apple W1 SoC processor which helps optimize battery use as well as the Bluetooth 4.2 and audio connections.

The AirPods are capable of holding a charge of around five hours. Charging them for fifteen minutes in the case gives three hours of listening time. The charging case provides 24 hours of total usage time.

Impacto cultural
El día del anuncio, AirPods se compararon con los EarPods previamente existentes de Apple (2012-presente), con el borde anotando “Ellos miran… Al igual que los viejos Earpods, Con los cables cortados.” Inicialmente burlado por muchos por su diseño desconocido (incluyendo CNN preguntando “¿La gente realmente usaría estos??” en 2016), Su popularidad creció rápidamente a lo largo de los años y fueron votados como el más popular “auditivo” marca de 2019.
En una llamada de ganancias de Apple 2019, El CEO Tim Cook llamó a AirPods “nada menos que un fenómeno cultural”. AirPods se había convertido en una sensación viral con memes que circulan a través de Internet sobre su apariencia y su relación con la eliminación de la toma de auriculares en iPhones. Sin embargo, A medida que pasaba el tiempo, AirPods se hizo conocido como símbolo de estado.
Crítica
AirPods ha sido criticado por su alto precio; sin embargo, En el lanzamiento, en realidad tenían un precio menos que la mayoría “verdadero inalámbrico” auriculares en el mercado (p.ej. el engranaje Samsung Iconx y Bragi Dash) y sigan siendo un precio competitivo con productos similares de otras marcas importantes.
Dado que AirPods se puede usar fácilmente durante largos períodos de tiempo, AirPods también han tenido un efecto sobre cómo las personas interactúan entre sí. Tener auriculares se percibe generalmente como un “No molestar” señal, Y algunos usuarios de AirPods usan este hecho para evitar estratégicamente una pequeña charla incómoda. Pero en el lugar de trabajo colaborativo, El uso constante de AirPods a veces se ha interpretado como un signo de falta de respeto a los compañeros de respeto, causando conflicto en la oficina.
Otra crítica destacada fue un problema que hizo que la batería de la caja de carga se agotara a un ritmo rápido a pesar de que los airPod no se usan. Los usuarios informaban más 30% descarga inactiva por día. En respuesta, Apple lanzó una actualización de firmware (versión 3.5.1) para los airpods, que abordaron los problemas de conectividad y drenaje de la batería. Estudiantes y profesores universitarios de la Universidad George Washington han comentado que los AirPods han disminuido los estudiantes’ interacciones sociales diarias.
Según el Financial Times, AirPods son difíciles, si no imposibles de reciclar,, y no diseñado para ser reparable.
Reemplazo de audífonos
En 2022, Investigadores del Hospital General de Veteranos de Taipei en Taiwán compararon el rendimiento de AirPods 2 y el AirPods Pro original que usa Live Listen en un iPhone o iPad para comparar con audífonos médicos. Oicón opn 1 fue la comparación de alta gama, con Bernafon MD1 como la alternativa más asequible. El rendimiento de los sistemas fue al menos ayudando a los participantes con Pro (incluyendo características de cancelación de ruido) Ser mejor y aproximar los audífonos.
Competencia
Algunos consumidores expresaron el punto de vista de que había mejores opciones para auriculares inalámbricos basados en la calidad y el costo.. Uno de los mayores competidores de Apple es Samsung, que comercializa auriculares inalámbricos que son muy similares a los airPods. Otra línea de productos similar es de Beats Electronics de Apple, que vende productos como los auriculares inalámbricos PowerBeats Pro.
