With the Christmas holidays fast approaching, you’re probably asking yourself: when is the last day I can order the gear I want and have it arrive in time for the holiday? Well, if that gear includes Apple AirPods, the answer is today. If you order these Apple Airpods with charging case (wired) from Amazon, today, not only will you get $30 off, you can have them in plenty of time to gift wrap them and hand them over for Christmas. These Apple Airpods are only $129, down from $159, making this the kind of deal you want to jump on, especially if you want them to arrive in time for Christmas.

The second generation of the Apple Airpods is a serious step forward in Apple’s world of mobile devices. They replaced the W1 chip with the new H1, which makes connection times faster and gives overall better performance. Also, you no longer have to tap the Airpods twice to activate Siri; you can just say “Hey Siri,” and she’s there. These Airpods 2 come with a charging case that can help save battery and charge your Airpods on the go. If your Airpods are running low, just put them in the case for 15 minutes and get 3 whole hours more listening and talk time.

Now, these definitely don’t have the active noise cancellation of the Airpods Pro, but users report some decent ambient noise-canceling abilities. And there’s Apple’s legendary design in both the Airpods form and function (these look sleek and handsome as can be, and at the same time they turn on and off automatically when you place them in your ears or remove them; no fuss and no muss). But perhaps most importantly, these Airpods offer incredible sound quality, when it comes both to listening to music and to talking on calls. It’s among the best available. Needless to say, it connects seamlessly to all your Apple devices, and there’s Apple’s legendary level of support as well.

All this performance must put a terrible strain in the battery, right? Nope. These Airpods boast more than 24 hours of battery life with the charging case. On top of this, you get 5 hours of listening time on a single full charge — which is a gift at any time of year.

It’s a stressful time of year and we want to make sure the gear we order will arrive in time for the holidays. You can browse these Airpod deals, but if you order these Airpods from Amazon today, not only will they arrive in time, you’ll score $30 off. That means you can get them for only $129, down from their regular price of $159.
