The holiday deals may be over, but if you want to get Apple’s classic AirPods, there’s good news. Amazon sells them with a wired drawer for $ 120, or about $ 40 off the list price. It was lower in the early Black Friday sales last year, but especially after January, offers are quite scarce.
Buy AirPods at Amazon – $ 120
To remind you, Apple updated its classic AirPods last year with improved wireless performance with the same fixed battery life. With a new H1 chip, they turn on faster, while you can seamlessly switch between multiple Apple devices such as an iPad and MacBook. Always listening in also makes it easier to talk to Siri, and the voice assistant sounds more natural to get started.
As before, the AirPods have a decent sound quality and can listen to music for about five hours. If this is not enough, and you are not near a power outlet, the drawer usually offers four to five extra full charges. The design does not use earbuds like the AirPods Pro, but if you like the fit of classic wired EarPods, you will probably like the AirPods as well.
The models for sale do not include a wireless charging tray, but you will charge faster with a cable anyway. The $ 40 discount represents a 25 percent saving, so if you were to stick to a deal, you might not see anything better for a while.
