We knew it was coming as here it is.  Say hello to the new Apple AirPods.  Apple is hoping to cover their bases w/ notable improvements their customers have been waiting for.  

For starters, it is equipped w/ their new H1 headphone chip to allow for Hey Siri support via your voice and improved battery life.  It will have the option for a wireless charging case that works w/ Qi chargers.  You can only tell the difference between gen 1 and gen 2 by a small LED light for display colors to show off battery life.  Speaking of battery life, the new H1 chip gives you an extra hour of juice bringing it up to a 5-hours of juice and gives you 3-hours of juice in a 15-minute charge.  As well as faster connection and switching between devices. 
 
The new AirPods will cost you $159 in the standard case and $199 for the wireless charging case.   Those of you with the 1st-gen ones can grab the charging case for $79 w/o having to upgrade.  
 
The new AirPods are out right now.  Who’s upgrading to this or just grabbing the new charging case?
