Apple unveiled the AirPods 5 at its 'Surprise and shine' event, offering two versions with active noise cancellation now 50% more effective than the AirPods 4. The base model costs $129 without wireless charging, while the $149 step-up version adds wireless charging, longer battery life, and stem volume controls. Both use the existing H2 chip and look identical to last year's AirPods 4, but feature upgraded internal acoustics for slightly better sound.
