A spatial audio implementation could range from mind blowing to meh. I want to hear one that can reach this level: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYdIidUIbAs
Wow, I did not know my headphones could do that! What's this announcement then if this is already possible?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
They charge super fast. You can get 1 hour of playback from 5 minutes of charging. You can also charge one at a time if you really need them continuously.
Ah now we're thinking with portals.. perhaps they can sell a set of 3 for this exact use? If you're playing games or something that takes heavy focus, you want to stay ahead of charging, not wait for something to die l.
If you are having prolonged gaming sessions, you are doing it at home, so use wired. If you are on the go and want to listen to music or watch videos, use wireless.

I connected my wife’s AirPods to the Apple TV to watch tv and noticed I could connect another one, so I borrowed my sister in laws AirPods and connected them and both work at the same time. So now we can watch…
The AirPods Pro are a great product, but this update to the base model is really disappointing.
>Apple and the Environment Hilarious section for an expensive product that has a non removable battery and is going to end up in a landfill after a year or two of use.
A year or two seems implausibly low but I would also compare this with the competition. For example, I have some great AKG headphones (over-ear, wired) which cost more even before adjusting for inflation — the audio quality is absolutely stellar but all of the plastic started falling apart after a couple of years. I've replaced the covers over the ears but now the non-replaceable cable shroud and padding on the cross…

@dang can we get a less editorialized title (this one only highlights one of the new features)? And one that uses proper capitalization? Something like "AirPods (3rd generation)" would also match the other Apple-announcement posts that are currently on the front page.
