Editor's take
Apple's fifth-generation open-ear AirPods add improved Active Noise Cancellation, Live Translation and Personalized Spatial Audio, rated IP57 water resistant with 5 hours of ANC listening (22 hours with the case) — but this specific listing has only 1 review so far.
AirPods 5 keeps Apple's iconic open-ear (non-tip) design rather than switching to sealed silicone tips, which trades some outright noise isolation for the all-day comfort and easy-in, easy-out convenience the design is known for. New this generation: improved Active Noise Cancellation, Adaptive Audio that blends ANC and Transparency automatically, Conversation Awareness that lowers volume when you start talking, and Live Translation powered by Apple Intelligence.
Amazon's spec table lists an item weight of 0.13kg (130g) for this listing — that figure almost certainly covers the full retail package (earbuds, charging case, cables, box) rather than the earbuds themselves, since individual AirPods typically weigh only a few grams each; we're flagging that rather than presenting 130g as the earbud weight. Battery life is rated at 5 hours of ANC listening per charge, 22 hours total using the case, and the case supports USB-C, Apple Watch and Qi wireless charging. IP57 covers dust, sweat and water resistance.
This particular listing has only 1 review so far, so its 5.0 rating is not yet a meaningful sample. Bluetooth version and precise driver size weren't published in this listing's spec table, so both are left unconfirmed.
Pros
- Open-ear design for all-day comfort without sealed ear tips
- New Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness and Apple Intelligence-powered Live Translation
- IP57 rated dust, sweat and water resistant
- 22 hours of total listening time using the wireless charging case
Cons
- Only 1 review on this listing so far — not enough to judge real-world reliability
- Open-ear design offers less passive noise isolation than sealed in-ear tips
- 5 hours of ANC listening per charge is shorter than most sealed earbuds
- Amazon's listed 0.13kg weight almost certainly covers the full retail package, not the earbuds alone
Ideal for: iPhone users who want Apple's classic open-ear AirPods comfort with the newest ANC and Apple Intelligence features.
Reviews
