Apple AirPods are one of those devices that, when you can get them on sale, you should stock up. Whether you're due for a headphones upgrade, have a birthday or other present-giving celebration on the calendar or are simply prepping for the day you inevitably lose an earbud, on-sale AirPods are a deal worth perusing.
Right now, Amazon shoppers can save 35 per cent on third-generation Apple AirPods — that’s an even better deal than they were on Boxing Day. The AirPods have racked up nearly 66,000 reviews on Amazon, earning a 4.4-star average rating. The only catch? They’re a Lightning Deal, meaning shoppers only have until the clock runs out to save.

The AirPod wireless charging case holds multiple full charges for your earbuds and has more than 30 hours of total listening time. Each charge delivers up to six hours of play time and four hours of talk time. When not in use, it should be kept in the charging case to ensure you never miss a call, podcast, or song.
Since the AirPods are paired with your iOS device (such as your iPad, iPhone, or MacBook), you’ll receive a push notification when your battery is low. When your charging case battery pack is low, simply connect the case to a power source using the included Lightning cord.
An upgrade to Apple's 2nd-generation AirPods, the 3rd-generation earbuds are sweat and water-resistant, feature a longer battery life, and come with improved microphone quality.
What people are saying
Considering the popularity of AirPods, it isn't surprising that the wireless headphones have earned an average rating of 4.4 stars and nearly 66,000 reviews.

The "noise cancellation is non-existent," writes one user. However, they're still "great quality earbuds."
Verdict
If you’re a loyal Apple product user, you’ll probably enjoy the benefits of wireless earbuds that allow you to easily pair with multiple devices with ease, especially at their current sale price. However, if you're looking for noise cancellation features, you might be better off investing in a pair of AirPods Pro.
