Apple released its cord-free AirPods headphones a long, long time ago and yet new orders placed with the company’s online store STILL aren’t delivered for at least a week. We have no idea how that’s even possible at this point, but it’s embarrassing to say the least. If you want AirPods — and you should, because they’re awesome — please don’t order them from Apple. Instead snag a pair of Apple MMEF2AM/A AirPods Wireless Bluetooth Headphones on Amazon for the same price, and you’ll get free Prime shipping. This way they’ll be in your hands and in your ears within 2 days instead of a week or more.
Here are some key details from the product page:
- Just take them out and they’re ready to use with all your devices, put them in your ears and they connect instantly
- Double-tap either AirPod to activate Siri, without taking your iPhone out of your pocket
- 5 hours of listening time on a single charge thanks to the W1 chip
- Made to keep up with you, thanks to a charging case that holds multiple additional charges for more than 24 hours of listening time
- Need a quick charge? Just 15 minutes in the case gives you 3 hours of listening time
- AirPods provide rich, high-quality AAC audio. And when you want to be heard, dual beamforming microphones filter out background noise when you make calls or talk to Siri
- AirPods connect automatically with all your Apple devices. They’re simultaneously connected to your iPhone and Apple Watch, and sound switches instantly between the devices. Want to listen to your Mac or iPad? Just choose AirPods on those devices.
