Apple has officially launched its highly anticipated third-generation AirPods, boasting a fresh contour design and a range of exciting features. These new AirPods offer support for space audio, harnessing the power of Apple’s custom acoustic system and the H1 chip. Additionally, they employ cutting-edge computational audio technology to deliver an adaptive equalization function, promising a groundbreaking listening experience.

According to Apple’s official specifications, these AirPods do not support the following devices: iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 5s, iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, and the sixth-generation iPod Touch. Apple provides clarification in the footnote of the New AirPods, citing that certain features require iOS 13 or above, and these aforementioned devices fall short of meeting this requirement.

Apple AirPods 2 Review: The Ultimate Wireless Earphones with Wireless Charging
In March 2019, Apple revolutionized the audio accessory market with the release of the AirPods 2. Designed exclusively for iPhones, these cord-free wireless earphones brought forth a slew of cutting-edge features and improvements that set them apart from their predecessor, the original AirPods. In this comprehensive review, we’ll delve into what makes the AirPods 2 so special and why they continue to be a must-have accessory for Apple enthusiasts.

Key Features of AirPods 2:

Wireless Charging Capabilities: The AirPods 2 come with an optional wireless charging case that supports Qi-based wireless charging. This case not only provides additional battery life but also ensures that your AirPods stay safe and sound when not in use. With the wireless charging case, you can conveniently charge your AirPods using any Qi-compatible charger. The case itself features LED indicators – orange when charging and green when fully charged.

Hands-Free Siri Integration: AirPods 2 take voice commands to a whole new level with “Hey Siri” functionality. Users can seamlessly adjust the volume, select songs, make phone calls, and more, all without ever having to touch their AirPods. This hands-free Siri integration adds a new level of convenience to the AirPods experience.
H1 Chip for Enhanced Performance: The AirPods 2 are powered by the H1 chip, a significant upgrade over the W1 chip found in the original AirPods. The H1 chip allows for faster and more reliable device pairing with iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Mac. It also supports Bluetooth 5.0, delivering improved connectivity and range.

Key Improvements Over the W1 Chip Include:
- Up to 50% more talk time.
- 2x faster switching between devices.
- Faster connections for phone calls.

Comparing AirPods 1 and AirPods 2:

AirPods 2 retain the same iconic design and color as their predecessor, coming exclusively in white. The visible changes are internal, and these improvements make all the difference. The addition of the H1 chip enables the convenient “Hey Siri” feature and quicker device switching, while the introduction of the wireless charging case adds a new layer of flexibility to your AirPods experience.

Our Verdict:

Apple’s AirPods 2 represent a significant leap forward in wireless earphone technology. Their sleek design and enhanced features make them an essential accessory for Apple users. The wireless charging case, H1 chip, and voice-activated Siri provide a level of convenience and functionality that’s hard to beat.

In an era where wireless audio is the new norm, AirPods 2 have solidified their position as the go-to option for iPhone users. If you’re looking for a seamless and stylish audio experience, AirPods 2 are hard to resist.

The charging issues of the AirPods case are pretty common. You put the AirPods into the charging case, but the AirPods aren’t charging. It is known to all that AirPods are designed to charge when you put them in the charging case, which is an amazing piece of technology in itself. The charging case is designed to hold multiple charges so you can charge your AirPods no matter where you are.

Today we will share how to fix the not charging issue of AirPods case by replacing the battery. It is difficult to teardown the AirPods charging case because the charging case features 2 fixed points and the middle part is glued with adhesive. If the operation method is inappropriate, the charging case can easily be damaged.

1. Self-made disassembly tools

There is currently no special repair tool for the AirPods. Therefore, we need to make a set of disassembly tools.

(1). Make a pry piece with a 0.1mm steel plate. Firstly, cut the steel plate into the shape of a pry piece with a pair of scissors and grind the edges of the pry piece with a sheet of sandpaper.

(2). Bend the pry piece with a cutting nipper and use tweezers to make a shielding plate.

Below are the self-made tools that we use for disassembling the case.

2. Docking tubes pulling out

(1). To avoid damaging the charging case, wrap a round of high-temperature tape. Next, insert the pry piece into the seam of the two fixed points.

(2). Use the pry knife to pry out a gap and insert the shielding plate.

(3). Insert the tweezers.

(4). Wedge the special pry piece into the seam to pull out the docking tubes. Please do not damage the flex cable while pulling out.

3. Old battery removal

(1). Attach the charging case to the holder and dip a small amount of alcohol on the battery.

(2). Pry up the battery with the pry knife and the battery connector with tweezers. Then take out the battery flex cable.

(3). Take out the battery.

4. New battery installment

(1). Measured by the multimeter, the battery is found to have no voltage. Get a new battery that has a 3.8 voltage.

(2). Attach the double-sided tape to the new battery. Put the new battery into the charging case and connect the battery flex cable.

5. Testing

Plug in the charging cable. The charging case can be charged normally. Put the earbuds in. The earbuds can be charged normally too.

AirPods is deemed unrepairable by many people. Obviously, many parts of the AirPod are glued together, and taking them apart is most likely to induce damage to the parts it has been glued to. For charging case battery replacement, the hardest part of the repair is to remove the docking tubes. However, with the right tools and techniques, we find that the docking tubes can be taken out and the battery of the case can be successfully replaced.
