Apple AirPods Wireless Ear Buds, Bluetooth Headphones with Lightning Charging Case Included, Over 24 Hours of Battery Life, Effortless Setup for iPhone

Let me start by saying that given the price, I didn't actually have high expectations for these. I'm pleased to say that I was pleasantly surprised. They definitely live to Apples quality that we've come to except from their products. The sound in my opinion is excellent and all of the features such as pause, next track and prior track work effortlessly with 2 taps. Paring was a breeze and instant. So far the battery life is decent. That said, I have noticed that the actual case loses its charge a bit faster then the pods themselves but its nothing extreme. All in all I'm very happy with my purchase. They also came quickly. I ordered them on a Tues. night and had them by Thurs. afternoon. For those who are concerned about receiving fakes, they are NOT fake. For over 2 months prior to purchasing these I did sooooo much reading and spent all day Thurs putting them to the test according to what Apple suggests for comparing real vs fake, and then some. Geez, who knew that there are so many ways to check for the authenticity of these. Trust me when I say I did everything! I would caution you not to go my the serial number alone. Sadly the scammers are finding ways around that now according to almost ever article I read including Apple. Perhaps the easiest way to is to check on your " find my" app. Apparently the knock offs won't show up on that app. And that's straight from Apple. The second best way I found was, with you ipods connected, go to settings > general > About & scroll down until you see Carrier Lock, just under that you should be able to see your name and airpods. Click on that and then you should be able to see manufacturer, model #, serial #, firmware version and hardware version. If thats missing they're fake. I know that info is also on another part of the phone but thats where you need to see it. According to Apple that information along with "find my" are the 2 thing that scammers have yet been able to get around. So with all of that said if you're considering the purchase from here I would say do it. It's a great price and it's not a 3party seller. You can always check it out yourself after receiving them and if need be send them back. And for what its worth, I actually have a pair Beats Wireless earbuds and I personally think these ipods sound much better. I hope this helps. Happy listening.

They stopped making these, but I LOVE them. I use them just about everyday for talking on the phone, and listening to music. The thing I like most about them is how clear I sound to someone else during a phone call. They do not fall out of my ears when running, but they are uncomfortable to sleep with them on.

Love apple products, so expect good quality. And it didn’t disappoint. Fits my ears perfectly and the sound quality is excellent. I mean it is Apple after all. Can’t wait to get the next gen when they come out.

I bought these Apple AirPods for my son for Christmas, and they turned out to be his favorite gift! The setup was incredibly easy—he paired them with his iPhone in seconds. The sound quality is crystal clear, and the Bluetooth connection stays strong even when he’s moving around the house. He loves how comfortable and lightweight they are, and the charging case makes it so convenient to keep them powered up. The battery life really does last over 24 hours with the case, which is impressive for how compact they are. Whether he’s listening to music, watching videos, or taking calls, the AirPods deliver top-notch performance. They also automatically pause when he takes them out, which is a nice touch. Excellent sound, easy setup, and the perfect gift for any Apple user. Highly recommend!

I have had these for over a year and it is still performing above expectations. It just survived a wash in the washing machine! I freaked out when I pulled it out but to my surprise, it still works!!! Now that’s quality!!

Taking the Apple AirPods at face value, they're a solid headset for the money! If you already have the original, first generation AirPods and just want to upgrade, not a bad option either. The 2nd generation AirPods feature an improved software chip & runs off of BlueTooth 5.0 vs 4.1 (Gen 1). The software chip allows a faster, stronger, and more stable connection with your device(s). This particular item for $139.00 does NOT feature the wireless charging case. This one must be plugged in via USB (cable provided in the box) to an outlet or USB port. The wireless charging case model is $169. Now if you're looking to upgrade to the wireless charging case later on, you can. Apple does sell it separately. If you want the wireless charging option right out of the box, I recommend sending the $169 vs the $139 product here. Sound quality: Straight out of the box, sound is pretty solid. No crackles, static, pops, or any abnormal noises created by the more economic-friendly headsets. You have a lot more adjustability & tuning capabilities if paired on an iOS/Apple device vs using for example paired with an Android OS device. So, ultimately Apple users may or may not get a better sound quality experience. Noise cancellation: AirPods do fit fairly well in the ear without having to be jammed inside your ear canal. Generally they create a snug fit using Apple's "universal" earphone design, it is one size fits most not one size fits all. Some users have upgraded or opted to spend the additional funds on a set of AirPods Pro due to the rubber tips for a better/snug fit. I believe only the AirPods Pro currently has an active noise cancellation utilizing two microphones but I would double-check Apple for accurate information. Also, for Android users. The Galaxy buds by Samsung feature active noise cancellation & wireless charging case on every model so you might want to look into that product before making a final purchase. Battery life: For optimal battery life, I highly recommend charging both AirPods inside the case. The case itself is a battery pack with a life. So if one or both AirPods are low on battery, you can toss them in the case and charge them up. Apple I believe rates 5 minutes of charging time is equivalent to 1 hour of talk/listening time and 15 minutes of charging time is equivalent to 2 hours of talk/listening. I'm sure this is accurate when they're brand new but I'm sure like anything, normal ware & tare might diminish that over time. Warranty: Apple provides a 1-year standard manufacturer's warranty on this product. This ONLY covers defects/defaults from the manufacturer. This will NOT cover physical and/or liquid damages to AirPods, case, or charging cable included. AppleCare: It's $29.00 and 2 years and well worth the extra money. You're already spending this kind of money on a headset, may as well have protection. We get it, accidents happen! But protect yourself and get your AirPods repaired/replaced at no additional cost to YOU! There is no additional fees or deductibles involved. AppleCare tips: You don't have to install AppleCare right away. You have 60 days from the original purchase date to contact Apple by providing your AirPods serial number (on outside of the box) and Apple will tell you if you're still eligible. You can renew AppleCare for another 2 years for the same fee of $29.00 provided you want to keep the same product. If you decide to upgrade to the AirPods Pro or whatever the latest model is, you would have to purchase AppleCare for that specific product. You can go into an Apple store location and get live repair/replacement on your AirPods. Using AirPods with Android: Apple has allowed Android and other non-iOS devices to use AirPods since the AirPods pair/connect via BlueTooth. If you're using AirPods on an Android platform such as Samsung or LG for example there's 2 ways to pair the headset to your device. You either turn on BlueTooth on your device, pop both AirPods inside your ear, find "AirPods" under available connections, and connect. Or you might have to pair manually using the button on the AirPods case to make available, pair, and connect. FAIR WARNING: You will NOT have access to all features that the AirPods have to offer on an Apple/iOS device. You will be limited on functions you can perform. I was able to find an app on Google play store for $1.99 called "AirPopUp". It is a paid application that unlock access to certain/more features of the AirPods similar to what an Apple/iOS device would be granted. Be aware that you will NOT have access nor the ability to have every single feature since you're not on Apple's network. There may be other apps (most likely paid applications) you'd have to find that may unlock more features such as: AirPods battery life percentage, case battery life percentage, programming LEFT & RIGHT AirPods for certain function(s), skipping/pausing/resetting songs, answer/decline/hang up phone calls, find my AirPods, and more. For Samsung users specifically, you might want to look into the Galaxy Buds. They're a little cheaper than AirPods, I believe Amazon has them for $109.99 + $22 3-Year insurance through Assurion that does cover physical/liquid/accidental damage just like AirPods. Galaxy Buds features: Made by Samsung Audio powered by AKG Rubber ear bud tips Pair with Samsung device to get the most Wireless charging case Active noise cancellation Comes in multiple colors (black/white/silver/yellow/red & black combo with Star Wars edition Galaxy Note 10+) Includes changing cord and replacement rubber earbud tips. I know if you pair the Galaxy Buds with a Samsung device it will automatically download an application titled "Galaxy Wearable". This allows users to check battery life status of the case and each bud, prompts you for software updates, ability to program LEFT & RIGHT earbuds to do certain function(s), answer/decline/hang up phone calls, pause/skip/reset songs. Apple may charge a lot of money for their products on accessories but they never fall short of being a revolutionary, well-designed, reliable product that works as advertised.

These Apple AirPods are absolutely amazing and worth every penny. The sound quality is crystal clear with rich bass and balanced audio, whether I’m listening to music, watching videos, or taking calls. They connect instantly and seamlessly to my Apple devices, which makes using them completely effortless. The fit is comfortable even for long periods, and the battery life is impressive—I can use them all day without worrying about constant charging. Call quality is excellent, and the noise handling makes conversations clear even in busy environments. Sleek, lightweight, and incredibly convenient, these AirPods have quickly become an everyday essential. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase and highly recommend them to anyone considering wireless earbuds.
