Honestly, I love my AirPods. The concept is fantastic, the cordless design is a breath of fresh air, and the sound quality is so much better than you might think if you’ve never tried out a pair. I haven’t used any other headphones since I got my AirPods, and most other people who have actually managed to get their hands on AirPods also love them. But Apple just can’t figure out how to build them quickly enough to meet demand — it’s been six months since they were released, and the shipping quote on Apple’s website is still at six weeks.
If you want AirPods and you want them right now, order them on Amazon. They’re in stock and eligible for free Prime delivery, which means you can have them in your hands just two days from now. You will have to pay a premium if you buy them on Amazon though, but it’s really not as bad as you might think.
Here are some highlights from the product page:
- Audio automatically plays as soon as you put them in your ears and pauses when you take them out.
- To adjust the volume, Change the song, make a call, or even get directions, just double-tap to activate Siri.
- Because the ultralow-power W1 chip manages battery life so well, airpods deliver an industry-leading 5 hours of listening time on One charge.
- They’re 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.
