In 2016, Apple released the Apple AirPods—small, wireless headsets that pop into your ear with no cords whatsoever. The device was an instant hit.
A second generation was released in 2019 with a better battery life and a wireless case. It wasn’t until later in 2019 that things really started to change when Apple released the AirPod Pro. The 2019 pro line featured noise cancelling sound (and a transparent mode, which helps you hear your surroundings). They came at a premium price but have a premium listening experience. When you put the Pros in, you can hear the difference immediately.
AirPods are simple to use, but if they are new to you, then they can still be a little confusing. This guide will walk you through all the gestures, how to pair them, and charge them. It also has an Apple Music guide, so you know how to use Apple Music once you’re ready to listen.
