Everyone is posting that there isn’t a difference between these and the 1st gen. This is misleading and inaccurate. Is the improvement drastic, no, but it is still an improvement. The improvement is that Apple has upgraded the on-board chip to the H1, which leads to faster and more stable pairing. This isn’t anecdotal. It’s been tested and proven to be faster.
Also, if you opt for wireless charging, buy the case with the gen 2 AirPods and you’ll save a few dollars.
If you already have the 1st gen, then it’s probably not worth the upgrade. If you are looking to buy your first pair of AirPods, then go for these.

Authentic and Beautiful, Love these way more than ever expected
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2019
These AirPods are amazing they automatically play audio as soon as you put them in your ears and pause when you take them out. A simple double-tap during music listening will skip forward. To adjust the volume, change the song, make a call, or even get directions, just say "Hey Siri" to activate your favorite personal assistant. Plus, when you're on a call or talking to Siri, an additional accelerometer works with dual beamforming microphones to filter out background noise and ensure that your voice is transmitted with clarity and consistency.Additionally, they deliver five hours of listening time on a single charge, and they're made to keep up with you thanks to a charging case that holds multiple additional charges for more than 24 hours of listening time. Just 15 minutes in the case gives you three hours of listening to time or up to two hours of talk time.I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to buy

I had the AirPods for only a few days.. every time I opened the charging case (after couple hours - enough time for charging), the left earplug was always at very low battery (0-5%), but the right one is fully charged. So I returned it.

Excellent, pretty useful... easy to use and reliable. At first I had some doubts about it being reliable to my Mac as some Bluetooth speakers sometimes cut off, but these work great and are really comfortable to my ears. Aesthetically, they look great to me.
Worth every penny.

Best Price Around For Second Generation Airpods!

However, I was very nervous to buy on Amazon. Many reviews stated these were generation 1 airpods which came out in 2016. In the product description it did state the second generation model number MV7N2AM/A and with amazon's amazing return policy I decided that it was the risk to buy and if the 1st generation did show up, I could easily return and purchase somewhere else. Thankfully, after checking serial numbers on both the box and after the airpods were connected through my phone I can confirm these are authentic, second generation airpods. Based off others reviews that they received generation 1 airpods, I can't 100% guarantee you will get 2nd generation airpods, buit it seems like they've stopped sending out the old pairs at this point.

Muito bom, porém... leiam COM ATENÇÃO

Pedi o fone, tal como a maioria dos compradores de internet, após muita pesquisa, e fui no preço que tava melhor, leia-se inclusive, pouca coisa melhor ok?
Feito isso, recebi, produto na caixa, embalado, lacrado, original, perfeito e maravilhoso, tudo em ordem.
O entretanto vem no anúncio, o título “AirPods 2...” deveria vir acompanhado de ESTOJO PRIMEIRA GERAÇÃO, pois existe uma clara, e prática diferença técnica. O estojo do AirPods 2 funciona tal qual o Apple Watch, carrega por indução, já o do AirPods 1, via cabo...
Pois é, chato né? Comprei um AirPods 2, em que pese, quase 1100 reais, e recebi o estojo do AirPods 1, funciona? Sim, funciona, altera minha vida, na prática? Não, não altera... Mas agride diretamente a imagem que a empresa transpassa ao cliente, se fosse em uma loja física, jamais teria levado.
A questão aqui fica em torno da expectativa pela compra, desde o momento onde decidi comprar, consegui recurso pra isso, ainda mais em plena crise econômica, passados alguns dias, acompanha-se a entrega alimentando mais ainda a ansiedade pelo produto...
Foi um banho de água fria, mas pior ainda é o trabalho que daria fazer uma devolução, reembolso, ou mandar o estojo pra receber outro.
Fica EXPRESSA E CLARA, minha crítica, e que seja construtiva, fui super bem atendido, no que pesa o trato humano, mas na hora de tirar o 10, vocês erraram feio, ficam com o 8.
