Apple has yet to come up a definite date as to when their wireless headphones, the AirPods, will be coming out. Nonetheless, if recent reports are to be based on, it's most likely to be sent out before the current month ends.

It was previously publicized that the wearables will be shipped out by Nov. 30 and sent to the different regions catered by Apple. Such a schedule will be perfect since Christmas is just a few weeks away, provided that the estimated release window comes to fruition.

It can be recalled that the company dished out a notice saying that the wireless earpieces will be distributed later in the year. Also, the same statement reasoned out that Apple is making some final revisions to the audio accessory and will be keeping their consumers updated regarding the AirPods' availability.

A couple of European retailers, on the other hand, have claimed that the cordless earphones will be knocking on their doors next month and are now taking pre-orders.

Meanwhile, the AirPods sport a so-called W1 coprocessor to ensure the earpieces' superb performance while in use. Moreover, the chipset is said to play a key role in regulating the AirPods' energy consumption making it last for a good five hours despite continuous usage. There are also talks suggesting that the said chip allow the wireless headphones have a quick charge capability wherein 15 minutes plugged in will provide the AirPods with three hours of juice.

It was also cited in earlier reports that the audio wearable will be fully operational as soon as it is worn. In addition, the AirPods will be automatically synchronized to whatever iOS-powered gadget the person is using.

The Apple AirPods will be sold at $159 once it is released to the public.
