"The new Apple AirPods will be $159 with a standard charging case — a price that is unchanged from the previous version — and $199 with a new wireless charging case. Both are available for order on Apple.com right now, and will be in stores next week. You can also buy just the wireless charging case for $79.

The biggest change is one that none of us will ever see: The new AirPods are powered by Apple’s H1 wireless chip, which is the successor to the W1 found in the original AirPods. Apple claims it improves the audio experience, as well as wireless synchronization. The new AirPods have up to 50 percent more talk time compared to the first generation. “Switching between devices while listening to music on iPhone, Apple Watch, or iPad is more seamless than ever with two times faster connect times,” according to the announcement. The H1 chip also delivers up to 30 percent lower gaming latency.

The other key enhancement that the H1 chip offers, is the ability to summon Siri with just your voice."
