Five reasons why Apple AirPods are the perfect Mother's Day present

If you're wondering what to get the wonderful woman in your life this Mother's Day, why not think outside the (chocolate) box? We all know how important 'me time' can be, and with Apple AirPods from John Lewis & Partners, you can make those moments feel extra special for every mum.

Whether she's a fitness fan that doesn't want to be tied down while listening to her body-pump playlist, an audiobook addict, loves a boxset at bedtime or is learning a language, she'll appreciate the wire-free, world-class listening experience that Apple AirPods provide.

Here are five good reasons why it's worth spoiling her with better sound...

Five reasons to gift Apple AirPods this Mothers' Day

1. They'll enjoy true escapism with Spatial Audio

The first trick up the AirPods' proverbial sleeve is their Spatial Audio technology. This uses dynamic head tracking to sense movement, then places sounds all around you to create a three-dimensional listening experience. For music, it's like being at the gig, and for movies, you'll think you're in a cinema, not on the sofa.

2. Mum's music... on a more personal note

On that, ahem, note, there's also Adaptive EQ. This smart tech automatically tunes music to the shape of your ear. Inward-facing microphones detect what you’re hearing, then adjust the low- and mid-range frequencies to deliver the rich details in every song, customised for you in real time.

3. Calls are always loud and clear

Each AirPod contains an inset microphone, covered in a special acoustic mesh, which minimises wind noise when you’re on a call. So Mum can take calls wherever she is, and always hear and be heard.

4. Working up a sweat? No worries

Both AirPods and their MagSafe Charging Case are rated IPX4 sweat and water resistant, so they’ll withstand anything from school runs in the rain to power walks around the park.

5. Wire-free listening, for up to six hours

Just one charge will give Mum up to six hours of listening – that's more than enough for a movie or a few episodes of Killing Eve snuggled up in bed. And with the MagSafe Charging Case in tow, she can enjoy up to 30 hours of total listening time before reaching for the charger. When your to-do list is as long as your arm, that's one less thing to remember.
