The vacation deals may be over, but if you’re looking for Apple’s classic AirPods, here’s some good news. Amazon sells them with a wired charging case for $ 120, or about $ 40 off the list price. They were lower in early Black Friday sales last year, but deals are still quite rare, especially after January.
Buy AirPods from Amazon – $ 120
Just to remind you, Apple updated its classic AirPods last year with improved wireless performance while maintaining the same solid battery life. With a new H1 chip, they connect faster and you can switch seamlessly between multiple Apple devices such as an iPad and MacBook. The always-on listening also makes it easier to talk to Siri, and the voice assistant sounds more natural to boot.
As before, the AirPods have decent sound quality and can listen to music for about five hours. If that’s not enough, and you’re not near an electrical outlet, the charging case typically offers four to five additional full charges. The design doesn’t use earbuds like the AirPods Pro, but if you like the fit of classic wired EarPods, you’ll probably like the AirPods too.
The models on sale don’t come with a wireless charging case, but you can charge faster with a cable anyway. The $ 40 discount represents a 25 percent savings, so once you’ve struck a deal, you might not see anything better for a while.
