When Apple’s AirPods were first released, there was a divisive ripple across people who were either loudly pro-wireless earbuds or passionately anti-new tech. Nine years later and we can confidently state that the controversial headphone has withstood the test of time. I guess it didn’t hurt that just about every notable celebrity hopped on the bandwagon early on, taking the tech from finance-bro-fashion to a mainstream necessity.
If you haven’t already made the switch to wireless headphones, don’t worry—you’re not alone. (Dua Lipa did famously pull multiple wired headphones out of her Birkin Bag during a recent interview). Luckily, now’s the perfect time to finally upgrade. The second-generation Apple AirPods just hit their lowest price point ever for Prime Day, giving you 40 percent off the wireless gadget.
Saving $100 on a daily tech essential is not a bad deal, if you ask us. The second generation AirPods have never been discounted this steeply before, and who’s to say they will ever be again. If you’re getting tired of your current setup, now is the time to make a switch. It’s also the perfect time to grab an extra pair—whether you tend to misplace yours or just want a backup for your travel bag.
With various noise cancellation settings, improved sound quality, and a six hour battery life outside its charging case, these headphones significantly improve your audio experience while out and about. If you invest in one tech deal this Prime Day, let it be this one.
