This could be the next-generation AirPods from Apple.

An image has appeared online purporting to be of Apple's upcoming third-generation AirPods . Judging by the image, which was shown off by Chinese publication 52audio, the ear buds could come with a pressure-equalizing system, like that used in the AirPods Pro, and a less rectangular charging case. 

The new AirPods could also feature touch controls. The new Apple earbuds could also reportedly come with a shorter stem and silicone ear tips.

Apple didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
