Pre-Black Friday Deal: Apple AirPods Drop to Record Low of $99

Amazon today posted an all-time new low price for the AirPods with Wired Charging Case, just $99. That’s down from the previous price of $159.00.

Previous low prices were around $130, so this is a great deal for Apple’s popular entry-level AirPods. Grab ’em while you can and get your holiday shopping finished early.

Apple’s AirPods wireless earbuds, which offer a completely wireless experience, promising up to 5 hours of listening on a single charge, Siri compatibility, and an ultra-low-power W1 chip which offers high-quality sound and better battery life.

Pairing the AirPods with an iPhone is as simple as opening the charging case, and with a tap of the screen, the buds are paired. AirPods are immediately set up with all of your devices, including your iPhone, iPad, and even your Mac, via iCloud. They connect automatically with all of your devices from then on. They can also seamlessly switch from a call on your iPhone to listening to music on your Apple Watch, with no switching hassle.

The W1 chip which powers the AirPods uses dual optical sensors and accelerometers in each AirPod, which means the AirPods can detect when they’re in your ears, so they only play when you’re ready for the music. Take them out, and the music automatically pauses. Take one out to have a conversation, and when you put it back, the music resumes in that pod.

Siri can be accessed with a double-tap of an AirPod, allowing you to perform any Siri task you normally perform via Hey Siri. An additional accelerometer in each AirPod detects when you’re speaking, enabling a pair of beam-forming microphones to focus on the sound of your voice, filtering out external noise to make your voice sound clearer than ever before.
