Product review summary

This page is intentionally secondary to the manual page and exists to provide review-oriented context.

The Apple AirPods (2nd Generation) Wireless Earbuds with Lightning Charging Case Included have been reviewed positively by many users. The earbuds provide more than 24 hours of total listening time with the charging case and have effortless setup, in-ear detection, and automatic switching for a magical experience. Users can easily share audio between two sets of AirPods on their iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV. Quick access to Siri is provided by saying “Hey Siri”. Additionally, the AirPods have dual beamforming microphones, dual optical sensors, motion-detecting accelerometers, and speech-detecting accelerometers. Despite some users claiming that the 2nd generation is not much better than the 1st generation, it has been proven that the on-board chip H1 leads to faster and more stable pairing.

FAQ:
Q: Why don’t you ship to Alaska?
A: It’s because of the lithium battery. However, the post office will ship lithium batteries if people go about it the right way.

Q: Are these fake?
A: If you buy anything on Amazon, go through Prime so you can return right away if you get a fake. Check the warranty at an Apple store to ensure authenticity.

Q: Does this come with a lightning cable?
A: Yes, it comes with a lightning cable. It can be found by pulling up on the tab underneath where the air pods case laid.

Q: Why is this the same price as the first generation?
A: Apple almost always keeps the price when a new version arrives. These are the latest AirPods, which are priced at Apple for $159.00.

Q: Can I use a protective case with wireless charging?
A: Yes, these cases are full-grain leather and protect AirPods as well as allow wireless charging through them.

Q: Are these waterproof?
A: They are water and sweat-resistant.

Q: Do the AirPods work on Android phones?
A: They work great with Android phones, but you have to manually tap the Bluetooth setting to activate the pods. No Siri either.

Q: When will I receive my pre-order?
A: Delivery times vary, and you should check with the seller for an estimated delivery date.

Q: Are these the 2nd Generation?
A: The package includes A2032 and A2031 left and right AirPods (Apple calls both 2nd generation), and the package also includes a A1602 case (Apple calls this Lightning Charging Case). From what I can see, Apple never quite calls the included Lightning Charging Case a gen 1 product but lots of other sellers do.
