The availability of Apple's wireless headphones, called AirPods, is delayed as the company is experiencing problems in getting the audio from both the earpieces at the same time, a media report said on Saturday.

According to Fortune, "technology problems with how the earpieces receive wireless signals via Bluetooth are causing delay."

Apple launched AirPods along with the iPhone 7 in September this year as a replacement for conventional earphones that require a headphone jack.

The company launched iPhone 7 without the headphone jack, however, consumers can still use wired earphones, but can be done by using a dongle to connect them via lighting port.

"The original plan was to ship the AirPods in October, but Apple decided to delay the earphones that month without giving a reason," the report added.
