AirPods 5 Pre-Orders Now Live, but Flagship AirPods Pro 3 only $50 More Right Now
Apple says the fifth-generation model delivers 50% better noise cancellation than AirPods 4 and adds swipe volume controls with tougher water and dust protection.
- At its annual hardware event, Apple unveiled the fifth-generation AirPods, featuring standard Active Noise Cancellation, an IP57 water and dust rating, and new swipe-to-adjust volume controls on the stems.
- Beyond standardizing Active Noise Cancellation, Apple claims the AirPods 5 block 150% more noise than the AirPods 4 using a new multiport architecture for "richer, more detailed sound across an even wider range of ear geometries."
- While the base model starts at $129, a $149 version includes wireless charging and an extra hour of battery life; both maintain four hours of listening time with Active Noise Cancellation activated.
- With an IP57 rating, the AirPods are now sealed against dust and water, enabling use during workouts and downpours unlike the splash-only protection of the previous IP54-rated generation.
- Unless consumers secure a clearance discount on lingering AirPods 4 stock, the AirPods 5 represent a clear upgrade, though they still lack the vacuum-like isolation of the silicone-tipped AirPods Pro.
