Dancer busts gravity-defying moves in Apple's first AirPods ad

Whether you're walking up walls or dancing in reverse gravity, Apple's wireless AirPods won't slip out of your ears.

At least that seems to be the message of the company's first TV ad for the devices set to replace earbuds.

In it, the Cupertino tech giant enlisted freestyle dancer Lil' Buck to take a gravity-defying stroll through the streets of Mexico City to the tune of pop duo Marian Hill's "Down."

In stylized black and white, Buck dances sideways along car doors, up the sides of buildings and upside down beneath the glowing lights of a theater marquee -- all without missing a beat.

One of the biggest worries people had about Apple's decision to nix the iPhone's headphone jack was that earbuds-sans-wires would be constantly falling out and getting lost.

Addressing those fears in an interview last fall, Apple CEO Tim Cook insisted that he personally used the AirPods while working out, taking walks and even dancing without ever having that problem.

Much of Apple's marketing around wireless earphones thus far has emphasized the freedom they offer from the hassle of cumbersome cords. A star-laden commercial for Apple-owned Beats by Dre last fall used the self-empowerment-themed song "No Strings" to make that point.

Here, it seems Apple is underscoring that flexibility by freeing its star from gravity.
