Apple AirPods with Standard Charging Case
With the phenomenal sound you’d expect from Apple, the best bargain on the AirPod menu is the standard Apple AirPods with charging case—now just $129 at Amazon—that’s $30 off the original price. While the buds are wireless themselves, you need to plug in the case to charge them.
Once juiced up, these buds instantly pair with your Apple iPhone. No scrolling, no fiddling with settings. You’re good to go. And you can expect a whopping five hours of battery life per charge. In fact, these are the most popular of the Apple AirPods family earning a perfect five-star rating from more than 236,700 reviewers.
Apple AirPods with Wireless Charging Case
This model of Apple AirPods comes with a wireless charging case. How does it work? Place the case on just about any Qi-wireless charging pad or stand, no plug or wire required, for a full charge.
You can still count on a long (five hour) battery life. And don’t worry if you run out of juice while away from home—just pop these babies back into their charging case for 15 minutes and you’ll get up to three more hours of battery life. The Apple AirPods with wireless charging case are on sale—$39 off the regular price; score them for just $160.
Meanwhile, these wireless earbuds earned an impressive five-star rating from over 34,300 Amazon reviewers.
Apple AirPods Pro
At the top of the food chain are the Apple AirPods Pro. This new model features noise-canceling capabilities, plus silicone ear tips for a more secure fit. The Apple AirPods Pro are certainly an investment (and improvement from the entry-level pair listed above), but Amazon has knocked $50 off the price as an enticement, bringing them down to $199.
Yes, it’s steep, but the comfort and audio upgrades make a big difference—especially if you always listen to music or podcasts. In fact, these pro-level buds earned a perfect five-star rating from more than 96,700 Amazon shoppers.
