Expanding its autumn audio lineup alongside the iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro series, Apple has introduced the AirPods 5, featuring next-generation Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) powered by an updated H3 audio processing chip.
The AirPods 5 deliver up to twice the noise neutralization capacity of their predecessor, alongside adaptive transparency modes tuned to automatically filter environmental spikes in urban and transit settings. Redesigned acoustic drivers and personalized spatial audio profile matching enhance dynamic range, while refined earbud ergonomics improve long-duration fit stability. Pricing begins at $179 for the standard model and $229 for the ANC-equipped configuration, with shipments commencing September 18.
