Apple announced the Air Pods during their September special event when they announced the iPhone 7 and 7+. Apple distributed beta units to various tech reviewers, all of whom have given very good to excellent reviews. Try searching on Google for Air Pod review to locate some.
The Airpods autosync between all devices on the same Apple ID when paired with one device. They do not have any wires. Each AirPod has an IR sensor on the inside to automatically know when it is in an ear. When in the ear, the AirPod activates. If both are in both ears, one gets stereo, whilst if one is in an ear, one gets mono. The device auto selects. Each AirPod has a mic, so reviewers state that when both are in, Siri works well, even in noisy environments. Double-tapping the outside of the AirPod, whilst it is in the ear, activates Siri. Reviewers state that one cannot adjust volume on the AirPod directly; it must be adjusted on the iDevice, Mac, or Apple Watch. Battery life is around 5 hours. Recharge for 3 hours of use takes 15 mins in the case. Case provides enough battery for 5 recharges, or up to 24 hours of usage before case must be recharged. AirPods can be paired with non-Apple devices. Apparently, all paring occurs in the case, so the case manages the initial pairing set-up protocols. One reviewer stated range of 800 feet with an iPhone, in the person's yard. I have not seen any official statement of distance from Apple.
