2024-04-04 11:00:00Apple AirPods 2 fall to just $89
Now's a good time to shop if you're looking for reliable earbuds that won't break the bank. There's currently a sale on Apple AirPods, including a 31 percent discount on the second-generation Apple AirPods (https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Amazon&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL0FwcGxlLUFpclBvZHMtQ2hhcmdpbmctTGF0ZXN0LU1vZGVsL2RwL0IwN1BYR1FDMVEvP3RhZz1nZGd0MGMtcC12LWN1LTIwIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiJmZmEzMTY5OC05MDJmLTQ2MWMtYWVjZi00ZjA4NzQ1MGM3MTAifQ&signature=AQAAAe0ylnvdn3lQvicKp4YGJ8NBmtt5WVG5xAEsDQvzVyCa&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FApple-AirPods-Charging-Latest-Model%2Fdp%2FB07PXGQC1Q%2F) to $89 from $129. While the second-gen Apple AirPods came out back in 2019, the entry-level option is still a great option — especially on sale.
Apple's second-generation AirPods have an H1 headphone chip that provides a low-latency, clear sound. You can access Siri through them and control settings like pause, play and next song by double tapping one AirPod — plus customize which side does what. The second-gen AirPods hold about five hours of juice at a time and last up to 24 hours with the lightning charging case.
The entry-level AirPods are on sale alongside the third-generation Apple AirPod's (https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Amazon&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQkRIQjlZOEgvcmVmPWZzX2FfbWR0Ml91czE_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy1wLXYtY3UtMjAiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6ImZmYTMxNjk4LTkwMmYtNDYxYy1hZWNmLTRmMDg3NDUwYzcxMCJ9&signature=AQAAAdTAW5ET819b4MGyR7RMuZc8txBpClD7mjMTzS4Yl2lN&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0BDHB9Y8H%2Fref%3Dfs_a_mdt2_us1) 13 percent drop to $149 from $169. The newest model's improvements (https://www.engadget.com/apple-airpods-review-2021-160026883-160026840.html) include much better audio quality and six hours of battery life (or 30 with the charging case). The second-gen AirPods Pro (https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Amazon&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQ0hXUlhIOEIvcmVmPWZzX2FfbWR0Ml91czA_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy1wLXYtY3UtMjAiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6ImZmYTMxNjk4LTkwMmYtNDYxYy1hZWNmLTRmMDg3NDUwYzcxMCJ9&signature=AQAAAe0nsCi1zDh97ngm1W9VrfsyGnwqP5x4YGr8WUUXWmID&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0CHWRXH8B%2Fref%3Dfs_a_mdt2_us0) are marked down to $199 from $249 — a 20 percent discount. These AirPods (https://www.engadget.com/airpods-pro-review-second-generation-130048218-130048292.html) are worth the extra cost if you want noise canceling, great sound with an H2 chip and a MagSafe USB-C charging case.
