AirPods
Wireless Apple earbuds
AirPods are Apple's wireless earbuds, introduced in 2016 and quickly becoming ubiquitous.
The name combines air (suggesting wireless freedom) with pod (the small, self-contained shape).
They connect via Bluetooth and come in a compact charging case.
Beyond the product, AirPods have become cultural shorthand for wireless earbuds generally and for a certain obliviousness to one's surroundings: He walked right past me with his AirPods in.
