The cost of Apple's second-generation AirPods, which are now the entry-level model, was reduced from $159 to $129 on the list price last year. However, it only offers the wired charging case type now, which charges using a regular Lightning cable. 

The simple, second-generation AirPods still deliver superb wireless performance and dependable battery life despite their advanced age, making them a terrific choice if you don't need a wireless charging case. The most affordable set of earbuds from Apple are currently available for purchase. 

Apple's most affordable earbuds are currently available at Target and Walmart for $89.99 ($40 off), which is only $10 more than their previous record-low price. The model with the wireless charging cover is now available at Adorama for $139.99 ($20 discount). The third generation of Apple's AirPods are frequently referred to as the middle child in the company's current AirPod series because they are supported by the company's MagSafe technology and cost $179. 

They are a nice upgrade over the previous generation model thanks to the shorter stems, better sound, and features like sweat and water resistance, support for spatial music with dynamic head tracking, and enhanced battery life. Apple secretly launched a new third-generation AirPods option in September that costs $10 less than the version with a MagSafe charging case and comes with a Lightning-only charging case. 

We advise purchasing the first-generation AirPods Pro with noise cancellation instead, which are now available for $159.99. Despite this, we would not advise purchasing the AirPods with a Lightning-only charging case since the MagSafe-compatible model is frequently discounted from the MSRP. For instance, right now Sam's Club and Staples (if you're a member) have them for about $169 ($10 off). 

The recognisable in-ears that have come to be associated with the moniker AirPods are not the AirPods Max. They are substantial and opulent, made of mesh cloth, steel, and aluminium for comfort during prolonged listening sessions.

 They also have wide, balanced sound, superb noise cancellation, Apple's spatial audio capability, and superior noise reduction, even though their bass response lags some of their competitors'. For most people, the $550 price tag prevents them from being the greatest noise-canceling headphones, but it's difficult to find a pair of Bluetooth headphones with greater sound quality and easier-to-use controls.
