Optical sensors and motion accelerometers work together to regulate the audio experience automatically, activating the microphones for phone conversations and Siri access, and allowing AirPods to play sound as soon as they're inserted into your ears. When listening to music, you can wear one or both AirPods, and you can play or skip forward with a double touch.

When you talk, a speech-detecting accelerometer detects it and works with a pair of beam-forming microphones to filter out background noise and focus on the sound of your voice.

You can quickly share a song, podcast, or other audio stream between two pairs of AirPods with new Audio Sharing.
