Report the new third generation AirPods.The color has inherited the traditional signature white.The price is 23,800 yen

Let's organize the difference from the new and old AirPods and AirPods Pro

AirPods was born in December 2016.In March 2019, the appearance of the earphones and charging case was almost unchanged, and the Apple -designed chip "Apple H1" was renewed.In addition to compatible with audio operation by hands -free "Hey Siri", a Qi compatible wireless charging function has been added to the charging case.

"AirPods with Wireless Charging Case", which was sold with a wireless charging case for the second generation AirPods, was 25,080 yen.The third generation AirPods is 23,800 yen, so the price is about 1,280 yen.

The evolved AirPods stands in a rounded and soft, rounded, rounded, close to the top AirPods Pro, which has an active noise canceling function.The "housing" of the outer shell part, which stores amplifiers in a dynamic "Apple driver" designed by Apple as a heart of the sound, has an open structure.At the top position, there is a small hole that is the path of air.

The new AirPods is an earphone attached to the ears without using silicon eartips like AirPods Pro.If you are used to earplug type earphones that use ear chips, you may be worried about the stability when you wear it.

In the case of AirPods, fix the stick -shaped body (stem) with a built -in remote control or microphone into the dent of the ear.If the body is inserted firmly in the ear so that the tip of the stem touches the temple, the feeling of wearing will be increasingly stable.

However, as all earphones and headphones are, there is an individual difference in the wearing feeling depending on the shape of the ear.Compared to the second -generation AirPods, the new AirPods has a slightly increased housing thickness, so the smaller the ears will notice the change in fit.If you are considering purchasing from now on, we recommend that you check it on the actual machine in advance.

After all, the compatibility with the iPhone was outstanding

The new AirPods has a simpler functional configuration than AirPods Pro because it does not have an active noise canceling function.Of course, one -touch pairing function with iPhone/iPad/iPod touch is inherited.

Tap the "i" (information) icon displayed next to the name of AirPods on the list of Bluetooth devices to enter the function setting.The skin detection sensor allows the "automatic ear detection" to be more accurate to link and take off the earphones from the ears and the sound playback and pause.

If you are signing in with your user's Apple ID, you can automatically switch AirPods while listening to music on your iPad and call on the iPhone.Tap "Connect to this iPhone" to enable or invalid this automatic switching function.

"Battery charging optimization" is a function for device to learn a cycle for users to charge AirPods and reduce the deterioration of the built -in battery.I think it's okay to leave the default settings on.

AirPods searches from "search" apps that are standard on iOS and macOS, or track from the app when you lose them using the "search" network formed in cooperation with other Apple Device users.You can now.This is also a good idea to use it as "on" which is the default setting of the earphone.

Long battery.Support for drip -proof sweat.Is it OK to clean with a sterilization sheet?

The continuous playback time with the built -in battery was about 5 hours for the second generation AirPods, and about 24 hours in total if the charge in the charging case was repeated.The new AirPods has improved battery performance for about 6 hours for earphones and a charging case in total for about 30 hours.If you can use it for about 6 hours consecutively, you will be able to handle long movements and online conferences without worry.

If the earphone battery is exhausted, charging in a charging case will make up for about one hour music playback or voice calling battery.

The new AirPods is not only the earphone itself, but also the charging case has become a drip -proof specification of IPX4 grade.Because of the high resistance to sweat, you can enjoy sports scenes and music listening in hot summer without worry.I use the time to watch videos and music when washing dishes and dishes in the kitchen, so I feel very reliable for new AirPods that can be handled without anxiety even with wet hands.

When you return home from the go, you will want to wipe the AirPods cleanly, such as a sterilization sheet.Apple released the "AirPods care method" on July 16, 2021 on the site.At the time I am writing this article, no guidance on AirPods has been added yet, but I think we should keep in mind the handling of AirPods Pro and second -generation AirPods.Washing is prohibited even if it is an earphone / charging case for drip -proof.The basics are to take care not to get in the bactericidal solution from the opening, and gently wipe off the outer skin of the main body.

Surprisingly powerful and rich bass playback!Exciting sound

The sound of the new AirPods was connected to the iPhone 13 Pro and checked the Apple Music song, Apple TV+video content.

The reproducibility of the bass is surprisingly powerful than the second generation AirPods.Rock and jazz -up -tempo songs have a very clear bass, and you can follow the melody lines even outdoors.The vocal and extensive vocals are outstanding to listen to.The high -pitched range full of transparent, open -type earphones, is also alive.The gradation of the sound of the piano and stringed instruments is very smooth and rich.The richness of the color of the music was more distinctive for the new AirPods than the sound of a natural balance and no habit of AirPods Pro.The new AirPods is an earphone where you can enjoy the exciting "fun music".

Video playback is also a good idea.Watching an action movie or animation with a new AirPods that can be played with powerful bass can be overwhelmed by the heavy bass that resonates at the bottom of the belly.The voice of a person has come to a plunge than the second -generation AirPods.When you take a bus or train to play video content, you will realize that the lines (dialogue) are easier to hear.Hands -free voice calls with apps such as FaceTime felt that human voices could be heard more three -dimensionally.

It is said that the open -type housing earphones are more superior to the clear sense of sound and the natural spread of the sound field than the earphones of the closed housing.The new AirPods matches the content playback of "Spatial Audio" content, combined with the increased three -dimensional sense of dialogue and sound effects.It also supports dynamic head tracking, so it has more fun to get into the content.

AirPods that makes you want to "replace"

AirPods is an open -type housing earphone, so if you use it in a quiet place with people around you, you want to use it carefully so that you do not bother the sound.However, the new AirPods can listen to the sharp sound even at a relatively small volume, so if you use it outdoors, you may not be able to make a full volume and lean out of the sound.If you have used AirPods so far, if you buy a new AirPods, you may feel a little noisy if you raise the volume as before.In particular, when listening to music while moving outdoors, be careful of volume setting.

The new third generation AirPods is a unique wireless earphone that is slightly different from the conventional model.A stylish lineup full of individuality has been added to the AirPods series, including the charm that can experience Apple -like innovation, such as dynamic headtracking of spatial audio, as soon as possible at the forefront.We highly recommend the "replacement" of AirPods.
