To remind you, Apple updated its classic AirPods last year with better wireless performance, preserving the same battery life. With a new H1 chip, they connect more quickly, allowing you to easily switch between multiple Apple devices, such as an iPad and a MacBook. Always-on listening also makes it easier to talk to Siri, and the voice assistant looks more natural to begin with.
As before, AirPods have decent sound quality and allow about five hours of listening to music. If that is not enough and you are not near an outlet, the charging case usually provides four to five extra full charges. The design doesn’t use ear tips like the AirPods Pro, but if you like the fit of the classic wired EarPods, you probably also like the AirPods.
The models on sale do not include a wireless charging case, but you will get a faster charge using a cable anyway. The $ 40 discount represents a 25 percent savings, so if you’re waiting for a deal, you might not see anything better for a while.
