The details

For those who haven't yet switched to wireless and rechargeable earbuds, now is the perfect time to grab a pair of AirPods on sale.

Your AirPods wireless charging case provides multiple full charges for your earbuds and more than 24 hours of battery life. Each charge provides up to five hours of playback time and three hours of talk time. When you're not using them, keep them in the charging case so you never miss a call, podcast or song.

Because AirPods are paired with your iOS device (like your iPad, iPhone, or MacBook), you'll receive a push notification when the battery is low. If your charging case is running low on battery, simply connect the case to a power source using the included Lightning cable.

“The sound quality is great”

These Apple AirPods have an impressive 4.7-star rating on Amazon based on more than 13,000 customer reviews. Shoppers have praised the AirPods for their universal fit and ability to access Siri. AirPods have received rave reviews for their “seamless connection” and “great sound quality.”

One buyer noted that the AirPods gave him “the freedom to multitask” that other headphones couldn’t provide.

“They are truly life-changing,” added another, who also noted that the “sound quality is great” and the “charge time is short” on these versatile earbuds.

While there are thousands of glowing reviews for AirPods, there are a few things to consider before you buy. Some buyers have said that AirPods aren't particularly comfortable for their ears, while others have said that when wearing the AirPods in public, they prefer a true headphone experience that covers the ear and helps block out background noise – especially since this version doesn't offer noise-cancelling technology.

Verdict

If you're a loyal Apple user, you'll probably appreciate the benefits of wireless earbuds that allow you to easily pair them with multiple devices. However, if you're looking for noise-canceling features or don't like the feel of earbuds, these may not be for you.

Fortunately, two other models of wireless earphones are currently available at Amazon
