AirPods - All-new with spatial audio
It's magic, remastered.
With spatial audio that places sound all around you, Adaptive EQ that tunes music to your ears
and longer battery life that charges up in a flash.
It shrugs off sweat and sprinkles, and delivers an experience that's simply magical.
Taking sound in totally new directions.
Spatial audio with dynamic head tracking places sounds all around you to create a three-dimensional listening experience for music, TV shows, movies and more - immersing you in sounds from every direction so it feels like you're in your very own concert hall or cinema.[1]
Music on a more personal note.
Adaptive EQ automatically tunes music to the shape of your ear. Inward-facing microphones detect what you're hearing, then adjust low- and mid-range frequencies to deliver the rich details in every song, customised for you in real time.
Bass hits an all-time high.
An Apple-designed dynamic driver, powered by a custom-engineered amplifier, renders music in exceptionally detailed sound quality - so you revel in every tone, from deep, rich bass to crisp, clean highs.
Mute the breeze.
Covered in a special acoustic mesh, an inset microphone in each earbud minimises wind noise when you're on a call - so your voice is always heard loud and clear.
You heard it here first. HD voice quality for FaceTime.
Connect on FaceTime in crisp, HD quality with a new AAC-ELD speech codec. And with support for spatial audio, Group FaceTime calls sound more true to life than ever.
Style from ear to ear.
With a contoured design and shorter stem, AirPods are designed to direct sound into your ears - in a refined look anyone can appreciate.
Pinch-perfect control.
The force sensor gives you even more control over your entertainment. You can press to play, pause and skip through songs, or answer and end calls.
Sprinkles? No sweat.
Both AirPods and the MagSafe Charging Case are rated IPX4 sweat- and water-resistant, so they'll withstand anything from rain to heavy workouts.[2]
A case full of energy.
Wirelessly and effortlessly recharge the MagSafe Charging Case on a MagSafe charger.[3] Fully loaded, the case gives you up to 30 hours of total listening time.[4] And charging your AirPods in the case for just five minutes generates around an hour of listening time.[5]
- Up to 6 hours of listening time with one charge.[6]
- Up to 30 hours of total listening time with the case.[4]
An instant connection.
Place AirPods near your iPhone or iPad and tap Connect to pair with every device in your iCloud account. If you're playing music on your Mac, you'll be able to answer a call on your iPhone - without having to switch devices.[7]
A great sense of detection.
An enhanced skin-detect sensor knows the difference between your ear and other surfaces, so audio only plays when you're wearing AirPods - and pauses when they're in your pocket or on a table.
Always-on "Hey Siri".
Play music, make calls, get directions or check your schedule simply by using your voice. Just say "Hey Siri" to activate your favourite personal assistant and stay on top of everyday tasks.
Announce Notifications.
Siri can read your important messages or alerts to you as they arrive - and you can even reply to messages with just your voice.[8]
Enhanced Find My.
Track down your AirPods with the Find My app. See how close they are with proximity view, get separation alerts if they're out of Bluetooth® range - or have them play a sound so you can locate them.
Audio Sharing.
Easily share a song or show between any two sets of AirPods. Simply bring AirPods near the iPhone, iPad or Apple TV you're listening to and connect instantly.[9]

Customer Review Summary
The Gen 3 Apple AirPods come highly recommended by customers who tout their superb sound quality, ease of use, and excellent integration with all Apple devices. Users love the spatial audio feature and appreciate the quick connection speed, enhanced bass, and sleek design. The battery life is long-lasting, and the charge time is quick. The product is particularly praised for providing a seamless transition between Apple devices, making it the perfect audio accessory. However, the fit may not suit everyone due to its larger size. Comfort and fit aside, the Gen 3 AirPods are a worthy upgrade for immersive audio experience.
Not worth it
They are nowhere near as good as the first headphones they released. Not worth purchasing, I am using the old broken headphones as they are better than the new.
Great product
The staff was nice and friendly the product is what we wanted
Best price
Staff were really helpful. He showed me 2 different products and explained me the difference. He helped me to get the right product which I was looking for.
Great purchase for the price
Bought these when it was on sale and got a really good deal. Selected click and collect and it was ready to collect quicker than mentioned on the website. Great service at PB Tech Petone!
Bought these AirPods (3rd gen) for my daughter and she loves it. It fits her ear eventhough she has small ears.
Excellent quality compared to the 2nd Gen
Was a bit concerned as when initially connected showed different power levels in each ear piece however after first charge all is going smoothly.
Great sounds and value + MagSafe
MagSafe = less cable = less hassle if you are already into apple eco system.
Good for Price
I have been using it since last year for gym music.
Better than expected
Bought these to replace my aging Sony set and was surprised at how good they were. Obviously the seamless integration with my other Apple products is a given, but the sound quality is great and they are very comfortable. Spatial Audio is an added bonus too.
Easily satisfied
Xmas present for the wife.
She is happy! (Make my life easier). Easy to setup and great sound quality
Seamless integration and quality expected from Apple
I have used many wireless headphones from the cheapest to the high-end over the years. Although the sound quality is arguably better with other high-end brands like Sennheiser you can't beat how well Apple products integrate. If you own an iPhone and other Apple products and want a great listening experience that is easy to set up and use across devices - these are the standard in this price range.
Good product but pricey
These work well and do everything claimed, however if you are just after an ear pod for simple things and your not brand focused there are a number of options at a better price point
So glad
These have helped so much with directions overseas. So easy to connect with iphone and everything syncs up so well! Better sound than I had expected.

The playlist consisted of 358 unique audio tracks purchased from the iTunes Store (256-Kbps AAC encoding). Volume was set to 50 per cent. Testing consisted of full AirPods battery discharge while playing audio until the first AirPod stopped playback. The drained AirPods were charged to 100 per cent, then audio playback was resumed and continued until the first AirPod stopped playback. This cycle was repeated until both AirPods and the charging case were fully discharged. Battery life depends on device settings, environment, usage and many other factors.

Volume was set to 50 per cent. Testing consisted of full AirPods battery discharge with a mobile phone call until the first AirPod stopped playing call audio. The drained AirPods were charged to 100 per cent, then the mobile phone call was restarted and continued until the first AirPod stopped playing call audio. This cycle was repeated until both AirPods and the charging case were fully discharged. Battery life depends on device settings, environment, usage and many other factors.
