One of the products that has most attracted the attention of Apple, not only for its design but also its excellent performance, we find it in the AirPods, a device that is considered as one of Apple's products in all its history. In the market we can find a large number of true wireless headphones.

However, the king of this category during 2018 has been the AirPods. According to Counter Point, Apple AirPods have reached 60% share of true wireless headphones on the market at the end of 2018. However, this number is likely to drop in the coming months due to the excellent alternatives available on the market today.
