At its Unleashed hardware event, Apple has launched the third generation of AirPods with a brand new design. The new TWS offering from Apple with an H1 chip brings new features such as Adaptive EQ and spatial audio to the non-Pro AirPods model.

According to Apple, the new AirPods sport the same force sensor seen on AirPods Pro for controlling media playback. Comparing to the previous generation of AirPods, Apple has finally reduced the length of the stem while keeping the same standard design for ear tips – as opposed to an in-ear design with silicone tips. Another highlight of the design upgrade is the presence of IPX4 water and sweat resistance for earbuds and charging case.
