What is the name of Apple's popular wireless earbuds?

Apple’s popular wireless earbuds are called AirPods. They are Bluetooth earbuds designed to work especially closely with Apple devices, while also functioning as standard Bluetooth headphones with compatible Android, Windows, and other devices.

Apple announced the first-generation AirPods on September 7, 2016, alongside the iPhone 7 and Apple Watch Series 2. After a short delay, they became available in December 2016. Their compact charging case, automatic pairing, microphones, motion sensors, and integration with Siri helped make them one of Apple’s best-known accessories.

AirPods are sometimes confused with AirPods Pro or AirPods Max. AirPods Pro are in-ear models with additional features such as active noise cancellation, while AirPods Max are over-ear headphones. EarPods are different again: they are Apple’s older wired earbuds. The AirPods product family includes several generations, with newer models adding features such as spatial audio, USB-C charging, and noise cancellation.
