AirPods now support hands-free "Hey Siri" functionality, allowing users to control volume and swap songs through voice commands. The new AirPods are equipped with an updated H1 chip, which replaces the W1 chip and brings connectivity improvements. AirPods connect more quickly to your devices for an even more hassle-free experience, and switching between devices while listening to music is now two times faster. The H1 chip in the second-generation AirPods supports Bluetooth 5.0, which should bring better range. Apple's newest AirPods come with an optional Wireless Charging Case that enables Qi-based wireless charging. AirPods continue to offer up to five hours of battery life when listening to music, and the case provides an additional 24 hours of battery life. The new AirPods are more efficient with the H1 chip and talk time has increased from two hours to three hours.
