bit smaller and for the first time the case is also officially ipxNUMBER_TOKEN water resistant so like they might have survived water in the past but it's officially official now still lightning at the bottom unfortunately but this new case is now improved it'll still do wireless charging but it's also now magsafe compatible which just means it'll snap onto the iphone's magsafe charging puck and it holds pretty well there too this magsafe wireless charging case isn't unique to airpods NUMBER_TOKEN though by the way they quietly also updated the airpods pro case to also snap onto the magnets but they didn't also update it for water resistance so small difference what would have been even cooler is if you could trickle charge them via the qi charging on the back of the iphone since they're both qi charging it would have been the sickest like little ecosystem plug they could have called it reverse mag safe charging but they're they don't talk to each other like that it needs some extra hardware to reverse wireless charge iphones don't have that so that's not a real feature in this product like it is with some other phones and their earbuds now if you decide to grab the sexiest case on earth the dbrand icons case or pretty much any other airpods case no magnetic snapping but yes wireless charging does still work if you're wondering i'll have a link below to this case if you want to protect your headphones and make sure you get an airpods NUMBER_TOKENk specifically because like i said airpods pro cases are slightly different dimensions they won't quite fit but really the most interesting change to airpods honestly is the sound they have a and i can't believe i'm saying this a perfectly respectable sound now so it's legitimately very improved i've trashed on airpods in the past as you guys have probably remembered for how weak they sound how tinny they've been these airpods when they're sat right in your ears have much more body and bass frequencies now and they get plenty loud as always and they really do sound pretty solid now the caveat is one there is no eq built in like a lot of other headphones have and two these were meant to still be good basic everyday headphones and so apple has tuned them as such meaning they've got to be usable for phone calls and podcasts which have a lot of high focus on vocal frequencies but also music listening in a variety of genres and then also movie watching and everything in between but one feature that sort of gets highlighted at least every time apple talks about these headphones is spatial audio now i don't typically use spatial audio very much but every time i try these i give another shot and basically there are two types of spatial audio experiences so one is if you're just listening to music or watching a video and you can just force it on with the ios settings and the head tracking turns on and for most mixes it basically sounds like you're suddenly in a small room with a set of speakers in front of you and as you turn your head from left to right those speakers will sound like they continue to stay in front of you but then two there's a very small number of really well done mixes in dolby atmos and you can find some on apple music they actually do a great job of separating the instruments and the channels and sort of spreading them out around
