Are the AirPods Bluetooth? Seems to me that wasn't mentioned once in the presentation.

There were rumors about them being Bluetooth+ - proprietary extensions on top - and since they claimed to eliminate transmission delays, I was curious if the rumors were true.

Thanks.

If they weren't stupidly expensive I'd get a pair to try to get them to work with my Android phone - direct AAC streaming would be quite nice.
