The third generation of Apple’s AirPods include all the things you never knew you needed. Spatial audio, for example, which has so far been reserved for Apple’s AirPods Pro and Max. Or adaptive EQ that modifies the sound for your particular ear shape. They also, helpfully, include longer battery life, with 30 hours when you include the battery charging case. That case is MagSafe compatible, so you can use your wireless phone charger to power up your earbuds. And they power up quickly, too, with five minutes in the case giving you an hour of listening on the earbuds.
