AirPods are accessories desired by every Apple fan, but did you know that you can also connect them to devices from other brands?

Os AirPods, Bluetooth headphones officially launched by Apple in late 2016, have become a phenomenon among the brand's device owners. That same year the company founded by Steve Jobs first removed the 3,5mm input from the iPhones 7 and 7 Plus, which created a huge demand for Bluetooth headphones among s. 2d5n1u

The alternative offered by Apple was the AirPods, which offer fast, simple and stable Bluetooth connection with the iPhone, thanks to the W1 developed by Apple itself, battery life of up to 5 hours on a single charge (up to 12 hours considering the extra charges available in the case) and good quality audio for 159 dollars, a price that, at least out there, is quite competitive.

Although they lose some of their appeal when used together with non-Apple products, you can enjoy the accessory's headphones and microphones to listen to music, make audio or video calls, voice commands, etc. on Windows 10 computers.

  1. I loved it, thank you very much.
    Do you know if there is any way for the paired phone to automatically connect when I take it out of the box? Why do I always need to go back on bluetooth and connect again.
