Want the latest from Beats? Check out our full review of the Powerbeats Pro.

The holidays are practically here, and time is running out to pick up all of those last-minute gifts. Though the majority of items on Amazon are no longer offering to ship before Christmas arrives, there are still quite a few things you can get before the big day — some with some decent discounts to boot! If you were hoping to find a great deal on Apple AirPods, however, you’re out of luck. AirPods aren’t the only wireless headphones on the market, though, and they certainly aren’t the cheapest. So if you’re looking to snag a pair of wireless earphones, and have them arrive before Christmas, this Beats sale is exactly what you need.

There are a lot of different wireless headphones on the market and most of them come with similar features. Bluetooth connectivity, full control of your music, wireless calling, and fast-charging are just a few of the things that make any pair of wireless earphones worth buying. However, the Powerbeats take it a step further with long, 12-hour battery life and water resistance for an intense workout.

My iPhone 15 Pro Max preorder was so much cheaper than I expected
View of the iPhone 15 Pro's camera module.

I’ve spent less money on a shiny new iPhone 15 Pro Max than I did on my iPhone 14 Pro when it launched, yet I’m getting more for my money. Sounds unbelievable, and I’ve had to double-check the figures, but it’s certain — this year's bigger phone was cheaper than last year's smaller one.

Along with some other key changes, Apple has also solved all the problems I had with its largest iPhone last year, making the iPhone 15 Pro Max the obvious choice for me this year.

Apple has upgraded the AirPods Pro with lossless audio, sort of
Apple AirPods Pro with USB-C.

Amid the slew of new Apple products launched today, only the tiniest mention was made of the fact that Apple has also given the AirPods Pro Gen 2 wireless earbuds a not-so-minor refresh. Along with the expected addition of USB-C, making the AirPods Pro the first Apple headphones to ditch the Lightning connector, Apple has also given the iconic white noise-canceling earbuds the ability to do lossless audio wirelessly -- something that has never been seen on the AirPods family before, and is even a rarity among non-Apple wireless audio devices.

There is, however, a catch. The "groundbreaking wireless audio protocol" that allows for lossless audio at 20-bit/48 kHz (a better-than-CD-quality resolution) is powered by the AirPods Pro's H2 chip, but for now, it only works when paired with the upcoming Apple Vision Pro headset. At the moment, Qualcomm's aptX Lossless Bluetooth codec (when used with compatible wireless headphones and smartphones) is the only technology that supports lossless audio wirelessly, and even that technology is limited to 16-bit/48kHz.

Second-generation AirPods Pro have USB-C now, too
Apple AirPods Pro with USB-C.

In one of the least-kept surprises of today's iPhone 15 event, Apple announced that the second-generation AirPods Pro are switching to USB-C for their charging case.

That's a big deal because they'll now use the same charger as the iPad and MacBook — and also because they can use any other USB-C cable that you've got laying around. And because we're not talking about a device with a huge battery capacity, you don't need to worry so much about whether you have the right USB-C cable. Things should charge just fine, and fast enough, given that the battery case only sports a 523 mAh battery.
