wireless headphones apple's airpods

When Apple launched the iphone7 and 7plus a lot people were expecting it to announce new wireless headphones from Beats, which it acquired last year, and a wireless version of its EarPods that rumor had it would be called AirPods.
The new Beats did indeed materialize in the form of next-gen versions of its current models -- the power beats3 ($200) and Solo3 Wireless ($300) -- as well the all-new BeatsX ($150). But it's the new $159 (£159, AU$229) AirPods, due to ship in late October, that have created the biggest stir.

Yeah, they happen to be a wireless version of the ubiquitous white Apple earbud, seemingly the most popular default headphones in the world. But more strikingly, they're totally wireless earbuds, which makes them different from anything that Beats has. And they also use a new proprietary W1 chip that Apple has developed (the new Beats also use the W1 chip).
That chip is being described as custom hardware that uses ultralow-power Bluetooth and keeps the two earbuds in sync.

according to apple, the W1 chip has dual optical sensors and accelerometers in each AirPod that work with the W1 chip to detect when the AirPods are in your ears, so they only play when you're ready to listen. You access Siri with a double tap to the AirPods and select and control your music, adjust volumes and check your battery life with voice commands. "An additional accelerometer in each AirPod detects when you're speaking, enabling a pair of beam-forming microphones to focus on the sound of your voice," Apple adds, "filtering out external noise to make your voice sound clearer than ever before."

AirPods work with non Apple Bluetooth audio devices, but you can't access their special features unless you're using them with an Apple device running ios10, watchOS 3 or macOS Sierra. As an Apple rep obliquely put it: "AirPods do work with non-Apple devices via Bluetooth. You lose the magic as a result." We'll have to dig a little deeper into that comment while playing Barry Manilow's "could it be magic" once we get a review sample, but at least AirPods are compatible with legacy iPhones, not just the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.
