What are Airpods?
They are a type of earbud that connects wirelessly to your device. Unlike traditional earbuds, they don’t have a cord around your neck or in your pocket.
Instead, they rely on Bluetooth technology to stay connected to your phone or another compatible device.
This makes them extremely convenient for people who are always on the go. They also have built-in sensors that allow them to pause playback when you remove them from your ears and resume when you put them back in. Earbuds work with all sorts of other devices as well, including a Windows PC.
How do they Work?
Airpods work by connecting wirelessly to your device using BT connection technology. This allows them to remain free from the cords and wires typically associated with earbuds.
