AirPods 5 While some earlier rumours had suggested new AirPods Pro with an built–in camera would be on the way, the tech giant has instead revealed an upgrade to its standard AirPods. The AirPods 5 keep the same open–ear design from the AirPods 4, but with some key upgrades.Apple says that the new AirPods will feature 'richer, more detailed sound' as well as active noise cancellation (ANC) as standard. The company claims that its new open–ear ANC system cuts out 50 per cent more external noise than the AirPods as well as featuring a more natural transparency mode. Dave Pakula, Apple’s vice president of Hardware Engineering, said: 'We’re thrilled that with AirPods 5, we’re able to bring Active Noise Cancellation — one of our most beloved features — to our most affordable AirPods'Battery life has also been improved, with up to five hours of ANC playback on a charge - one hour longer than the AirPods 4 - and up to 22 hours with the charging case.

The headphones are available in two variations, a standard option and a more expensive version that includes an on–stem volume control system from the AirPods pro called Volume Swipe. The cheaper version is available for $129 with the more expensive option priced at $149 (UK price to be confirmed).
