The headphones are characterized by a design that is very similar to the actual product, but has been finished with a chamfer on the side of each earbud to allow for easy docking on the [wireless charging baseplate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/max-headphones-charging-stand). This also allows the earbuds to be positioned onto the side of an [iPad Pro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipad-air-m4) in a similar fashion to the Apple Pencil to allow for seamless charging between uses. The Apple AirPods concept aims to fine-tune the functionality of the headphones and make them more applicable within the technology brand's ecosystem of products.
