Apple unveils AirPods 5 with 50% better noise cancellation
Apple unveiled its new AirPods 5 wireless earbuds during the iPhone 18 Pro presentation on September 9. The 5th-generation model features an active noise cancellation system that reduces ambient background noise. This system reduces noise 50% more than AirPods 4 and comes standard on the 2 versions. The starting price remains the same as for the previous generation at $129 (about AZN 220). Apple calls it the best noise cancellation system in its class among open-fit earbuds.
The internal design of AirPods 5 has been reworked. The earbuds now include the next-generation Adaptive EQ feature. This system adjusts the sound based on how the earbuds fit in the user's ears. Personalized Spatial Audio delivers fuller, more lifelike spatial sound. The updated Transparency mode helps surrounding sounds come through more naturally. Adaptive Audio automatically balances noise cancellation and transparency modes depending on the environment. Conversation Awareness automatically lowers the volume of music or other media when the user begins speaking. On the version priced at $149 (about AZN 250), the volume can be controlled using the stem of the earbud. Users simply swipe up or down with a finger. This makes it possible to change the volume without touching the iPhone. This capability was previously available only on AirPods Pro. The case for the more expensive version can also be charged wirelessly.
The H2 chip allows AirPods 5 users to use Siri commands and Apple Intelligence features without touching their phones. The updated Siri, which will be released in beta with iOS 27, will be able to complete tasks using personal information from messages, emails, photos and apps. For example, it will be able to find a restaurant mentioned in an email or play a song recommended in a message. The Live Translation feature will also work through an Apple Intelligence-compatible iPhone and translate conversations in real time. Battery life varies by version. With active noise cancellation enabled, the more expensive model runs for up to 5 hours on 1 charge and provides up to 22 hours of listening time with the case. The base version provides up to 20 hours of total listening time with the case. Preorders for the 2 AirPods 5 versions began on September 9. The earbuds will go on sale on September 18.
