Hi Jewel, Apple Airpods are like Apple Earpods except that they are bluetooth/wireless. They look exactly like your earpods if you were to cut off the cable right underneath the hard plastic stem. They have a new chip Apple developed called the W1 chip and they come in a little case/cradle which also recharges them and as soon as you open the case a message pops up on the iPhone that it found Airpods and it asks if you want to connect. They have no on/off switch, no volume control or any other buttons or switches. If you take them out of your ear they turn off or I guess go to sleep and at this point all you can do in terms of control is to tap one of them twice to bring up SIRI or, if the phone is ringing, a double tap on the Airpods will answer the call. They sound very good, but are also very expensive, $160 in the US, here in Canada $220 Canadian and a friend in Germany told me they are 180 Euros there which is even more since currently 180 Euros converts to about $195 US.

I haven't been following, in detail, the string on ear/airpods, so my question may seem a little dense, but is airpod a tradename, meaning for earpods that are designed to be used when in an aircraft?

Talk about luck, eh? Anyway, I must say that I am delighted with the results of the AirPods in terms of their sound quality and compatibility with my iPhone 6 Plus and MacBook Pro Mid 2014. I can honestly say that they are well worth the purchase price. For the first time ever, I can, on the fly, easily switch between a one ear configuration and a two ear Bluetooth headset configuration, while using my iPhone and MacBook Pro. Very, very nice, indeed. Give them a try at your first opportunity. Mark -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
