Apple didn’t just stop with announcing the new iPhone 7 and Apple Watch Series 2,. It also unveiled a set of wireless headphones called AirPods. The Airpods will not be part of the iPhone 7 shipment. Instead, users will receive headphones that will connect to the Lightning port along with an adapter that makes the phone usable with traditional earphones.

But users can also pick up AirPods, which are a set of wireless headphones that come with an attached microphone to allow for hands-free calling.

AirPods require a one-tap setup. Then they are automatically on and always connected. To use them, you simply place them in your ears. They can sense when they’re in your ears and will pause when you take them out. You can also double-tap an AirPod to activate Siri and dish out your voice commands.

AirPods offers up to 5 hours of listening time on one charge. They also come with a charging case that contains several additional charges that will offer more than 24 hours of listening time. If you need a quick recharge, you can pop it in the case for just 15 minutes and get 3 hours of listening time.

If you need to check the battery levels, just hold the AirPods next to your iPhone or ask Siri “How’s the battery on my AirPods?”

AirPods will become available starting October.
