The Apple AirPods 5 are wireless earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation. They use an open-ear design and are powered by the H2 headphone chip. Each earbud has a custom high-excursion Apple driver.
Listening modes include Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency mode and Adaptive Audio, which blends the two. Conversation Awareness, Adaptive EQ and Voice Isolation are also included. Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking creates immersive sound, and the earbuds support studio-quality audio recording.
Live Translation and Siri AI add hands-free functionality. The earbuds are rated IP57 for dust, sweat and water resistance. They play for up to 4 hours with ANC on and up to 20 hours in total with the USB-C charging case.
