Apple AirPods (3rd generation) 2021

AirPods (3rd generation)

This commercial introduces the features built into the third-generation AirPods and conveys a user-centric approach.

The colorful backgrounds leave a strong impression, and the scene transitions clearly communicate how the audio is adjusted to suit each user’s individuality.

The vibrant visuals, which also convey a sense of weightlessness, are accentuated by a digital BGM where various sounds overlap.

With an arrangement of digital, floating tones that resound irregularly, it effectively expresses technological progress and a near-futuristic atmosphere.

Apple AirPods Pro “Silence the Noise”

Apple AirPods Pro Commercial: “Turn Noise into Silence” 30 Seconds

This is a commercial that focuses on the noise-canceling feature of AirPods Pro, portraying how quiet it can get through a distinctive, imaginative world.

Various vehicles—including work trucks that typically make loud noises—are floating, and there’s even a parade happening in the air, creating a lively atmosphere.

Yet you can’t hear any of it, which depicts the silence brought about by the elimination of noise.

What really highlights this silence in the visuals is TK Maiza’s rendition of “Where Is My Mind.” It’s a cover of the Pixies’ song, and it feels more digitally oriented than the original.

The combination of soft sounds and gentle vocals conveys a strong sense of weightless floating.
