Let's take apart these wireless earbuds [Apple AirPods 2] and see all the components. Then we'll explore audio codecs and the world of digital audio, and see how it all works.
Check out www.pcbway.com/ for all kinds of PCBs, easy ordering, and quick delivery.
Take a look at their PCB Assembly, for an inexpensive population of the components on your PCBs.

This video explores the inner workings of wireless earbuds and specifically, we'll explore these Apple AirPods 2. We'll give you a general overview of how these earbuds work, and then dive into how Audio is represented digitally. We'll dive even deeper into Audio sampling rates, and audio bit depth. Finally, we'll give a brief overview of audio file formats.

@KishanKumar-ul1ef 2 года назад

To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. ru-vid.comUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.

Props to Victor Duarte for the 3D renderings and animations in this video. From his bio I can see he has a background in mechanical engineering and I think it shows on his work. Everything is so detailed and meticulously modeled. The topic is also very well scripted and researched as far as I can tell from my sound engineering past. The clear and well paced narration brings everything together and makes it easier to understand this 17 minute video which is heavily loaded with information. Congratulations to everyone who works on this channel!

What is the use of the accelerometer in AirPods? wonderful content ✌✨ Cheers

@ParallelLogic 3 года назад

I was wondering the same thing. Looking at the product pages for similar devices it appears to be for "wake on use": pick up the earbuds and they start working. No acceleration = low power mode to save battery between uses.

@alexosow 3 года назад

Oh I was wondering that also, I know the optical sensor is so it can tell if you have the AirPods in your ear, but an accelerometer doesn't seem like it would do anything since that's just to determine how it's moving

@BranchEducation 3 года назад

The accelerometer is for sensing on you tapping on the earbud. It's to accept a call, or if you want to act like a secret service agent, or a number of other functions.
