Apple’s AirPods were initially launched back in 2016, but the company hasn’t really bothered to update it for the past few years, at least until now. Hot on the heels of rumors that a new set of AirPods could be in the works, Apple has officially launched its second-gen set of AirPods earphones.

According to the rumors, Apple is working on a new set of AirPods and also a bunch of new iPads. We’re not sure when they might be announced, but it could be relatively soon because according to a report from DigiTimes (via MacRumors), it seems that Apple’s suppliers have started to gear up for production of those devices.

Given the size of the AirPods, it means that their included batteries are pretty small which also means that charging them to full won’t take as long compared to a phone, tablet, or laptop. According to Apple’s current speeds, it will take the AirPods 15 minutes of charging to add an extra 3 hours of battery life, which is pretty decent.

Which brands come to mind when you think of headphones? Bose? Sennheiser? Beats? Master & Dynamic? Sony? Those are some of the more popular brands in the market today, but following in the footsteps of Microsoft, it seems that Lenovo has decided to launch their own brand of headphones as well.

A trend we’re starting to see amongst headphone companies is the launch of headphones that feature true wireless connectivity. This means that unlike certain wireless headphones that still feature a cable that connects the earbuds together, we’re seeing more earbuds that follow in the footsteps of the AirPods by doing away with cables entirely.

Apple’s AirPower wireless charging mat was initially announced in 2017 alongside the iPhone X, but to date the device has yet to be launched. We have also been hearing rumblings about a possible second-gen set of AirPods headphones, and the good news is that these devices could be set for a launch in the coming months.

For a while now we have been hearing rumors that Apple could be working on a second-gen set of AirPods headphones, and now according to a report from Economic Daily News (via AppleInsider), it seems that the AirPods 2 will be launching this spring alongside the AirPower charging mat.

MWC 2019 is coming up and it is expected to be a huge event where we will see a lot of announcements from various companies. Samsung will be hosting their own event where the Galaxy S10 will be announced. There are rumors that a 5G smartphone could also be announced, and the company’s foldable smartphone as well.

It has been a while since Apple released new Beats headphones. Unfortunately for fans of Beats headphones hoping to see something new from the company, you might be in for a wait because it still does not look like that will be happening just yet. However there is some good news and that is Apple has released new colorways for existing headphones.

If you’re in the market for a new set of gaming headphones, then Logitech might have something for you. This is because the company has recently taken the wraps off four brand new gaming headsets part of its G-series lineup, so there definitely should be something there that would appeal to you.

Recently there was a report that indicated that Samsung could be working on a new pair of earbuds called the Galaxy Buds. It was unclear back then how accurate this information was, but now we know that there is a very good chance that this is true. This is because Samsung Turkey’s website might have accidentally revealed the existence of the device.

Samsung will be hosting an event next month on the 20th of February where the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S10 and all of its variants will be announced. The company is also expected to officially unveil its foldable smartphone, and possibly some new wearables as well. Now it seems that according to AllAboutSamsung, we might be able to expect new headphones too.

It has been a while since Apple has launched new Beats headphones. They have updated the color options, but to date there is no new model with new features. This could possibly be because Apple might be more interested in getting out a pair of its own branded headphones, at least that’s what the rumors are saying back in 2018.

The AirPods come with a charging case that is meant to provide the user with additional battery if they need it. It also helps keep the earphones in place securely so that users don’t lose them. However an Indiegogo campaign for an accessory called the Air.Wear might be of interest to those who’d rather not bring a case around with them.
