Apple announced a new version of AirPods, the second generation of the company's popular headphones, on Wednesday.

The new version of AirPods supports longer battery life and a new H1 chip that Apple says improves connectivity with your iPhone or iPad and helps to deliver up to a 50 percent bump in talk time over the first generation AirPods. The chip replaces the W1 in the first model.
