`
`With AirPods, setting up and using wireless headphones has never
`been easier. Just open the charging case near your iPhone and with a
`simple tap, AirPods are immediately set up with all the devices signed
`into your iCloud account, including your Apple Watch, iPad and Mac.
`Advanced sensors detect when AirPods are in your ear and can
`automatically play and pause your music. Double tapping on AirPods
`activates Siri, allowing you to access your favorite personal assistant to
`select and control your music, get directions, make and receive calls or
`perform any other Siri task.
