Apple AirPods features

Even after two years, the AirPods are still first choice of TWS for iPhone users globally. The AirPods offer excellent connectivity and hand-free "Hey-Siri" features. The audio quality is not the best in class, but you won't be disappointed either. The charging case offers a further 20 hours of battery life on top of the five hours you get from the buds themselves 一 which is good. However, the AirPods with wireless charging case will cost extra.
