Apple today launched a completely redesigned version of AirPods. The new AirPods 3rd Generation have longer battery life, Spatial Audio (including Dolby Atmos), and a new driver for better sound quality. They also bring the Adaptive EQ feature of the AirPods Pro down to the standard AirPods. Adaptive EQ customizes sound for the unique way your ears hear different frequencies due to differing fit. They are also rated IPx4 for sweat- and water-resistant. The new, shorter buds have six hours of battery life in their own, while the new charging case holds four charges, for 30 hours total. The case can add one hour of battery life to the buds in just five minutes. The case can be charged with MagSafe wireless charging. The new AirPods are available to order today for $179, shipping next Tuesday, Oct. 26th. The old 2nd Generation AirPods will remain available at a new price of $129, down from $160.
