Okay, okay. This morning I didn’t give you much to go on regarding what’s up with the new iPhone generation and its jack-less headphone option.

I mean, it’s a big deal.

At the launch last night, Apple spent more time talking about their audio in general than they have in the last two iPhone events combined.

Besides removing the headphone jack and replacing it with Lightning EarPods and a 3.5mm audio jack to Lightning dongle/converter (which is the new list of contents in your little box), Apple also announced AirPods.

Another model of wireless buds from Apple, AirPods have several more innovative features, like dual sensors, dual accelerometers, and dual mics.

Dual mics you say? Interesting.

Here’s more from Mashable:

The sensors make sure the music only plays when at least one earbud is in your ear, while the dual mics let you invoke Siri with a tap. It’s all powered by the Apple W1, which Phil Schiller called Apple’s “first wireless chip.”

The AirPods come with a snazzy, white case which doubles as a battery/portable charger.

Apple claims that as soon as you open the AirPods’ case, the iPhone will offer to connect with them and that all you need to do so is tap one button. In fact, Apple will work its iCloud magic to make sure the AirPods seamlessly connect with all the Apple devices you’re using.

Can you even? Here’s them in their cute little charger pack – that can hold 25 hours of charging power for your convenience:
