Apple might’ve been gut-punched recently due to less-than-stellar iPhone sales, but that doesn’t mean they’re not upping their game elsewhere, namely with the 2nd-gen wireless AirPods. They’ve announced the 2019 Apple AirPods with the kind of upgrades that will keep them at the front of the wireless headphone pack. Not only do you get 50% more talk time than the 1st-gen version, but the new H1 chip also provides an improved sound experience, and better syncing with your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You can now talk to Siri through your AirPods for voice commanding your music, etc., as well. Every pair comes standard with a charging case, or you can upgrade to a wireless version that employs Qi compatibility for on-the-go charging. They’re on sale now on Apple’s website.
