A useful feature of Apple's wireless AirPods, designed to help hearing impaired, can also be used to engage in eavesdropping-and people's reactions are mixed.

But charging$ 159 for AirPods does, tweeted Dave Pell, an investor and iOS app developer, referring to the pricey new wireless headphones that Apple launched alongside the iPhone 7.

However, as some users have pointed out on Reddit, Live Listen also means Apple users can listen to conversations going on in another room-as long as their iPhone is in the room, they have their AirPods in and Live Listen is turned on.

不过在红迪网（Reddit）上一些用户称，苹果用户可以在另外一个房间通过此功能监听，只要他们的手机在房间内，打开Live Listen功能，手里有耳机就行。

过去，苹果的这种做法在中国一直效果不俗，不过，如果有金色和玫瑰金色版本的AirPods就可能会更好。

尽管首席执行官蒂姆·库克此前曾说这款耳机的需求量“惊人”，但苹果拒绝透露目前AirPod的销量。

新增功能还有音频共享，用户可以和其他AirPod同步听歌或和朋友同步看电影，Siri还可以进行消息通知。

根据苹果公司的消息，随着系统iOS12开启了Live Listen的功能，苹果无线蓝牙耳机AirPod可以将你的苹果手机，平板iPod变成麦克风——可以把声音传送到耳机。
