These true wireless earbuds from Apple connect easily and automatically. The H1 chip on the inside lets you access Siri and hear your text messages. You have easy music controls by tapping the earbuds, and the battery lasts up to five hours.

In our review of the 2nd generation AirPods from last year, we said "these new, second generation AirPods are a real treat. They're faster, more convenient to charge, make you sound better, and give you Hey Siri right in your ears."

The 2nd-generation AirPods include an improved H1 headphones chip that gives these earbuds the ability to access Siri and read your text messages to you. They also have a a super simple setup that allows the AirPods to automatically connect to your Apple mobile device simply by being near it.

Use the controls on the earbuds to easily play or skip forward in your music simply by tapping. The earbuds are actually smart enough to detect when they are in your ears and will automatically pause when you remove them.

And when the five-hour battery runs low, just drop the earbuds in the charging case and recharge without having to plug in right away. All-in-all you can't go wrong with these since they're so easy to use and sound as good as they do.
