Pretty much any time that you walk outside, you'll see someone using an Apple product. And most of the time, you'll spot someone using Apple headphones. Whether you're looking to stick to the classic wired EarPods or want to finally make the switch over to cordless Bluetooth earbuds, you can get multiple versions of the Apple Airpods on sale at the Prime Day Early Access Sale.
For the first time since their release last month, the second-generation AirPod Pro Earbuds are on sale for $235. The earbuds are completely wireless, allowing you to move freely without getting stuck in a cord. They have fast Bluetooth pairing, on-ear tappable controls, and in-case charging, as well as noise-canceling technology that allows you to really immerse yourself in your music.
They also allow you to access Siri instantly by just saying out loud, "Hey Siri," and you can choose from four silicone ear tip sizes to fit the sweat- and water-resistant headphones in your ears just right. When you have the Active Noise Cancellation on, you get up to six hours on a single charge and up to 30 hours of total listening time thanks to the charging case.
