If you’ve been wanting to join the AirPod club, now’s your chance to score a pair of these popular wireless earbuds at a discount. Amazon has discounted the Apple AirPods with Wired Charging Case by $30. Once listed at $159, they now go for just $129 with free shipping. They’ll ship quickly for Prime members, and with easy setup for all your Apple devices, you’ll be listening in no time. While we’ve seen these drop to $110 before, this is a rare after-Christmas sale that you should take advantage of if you weren’t able to grab a pair before the holidays.

When you remove these earbuds from the charging case, they automatically connect to your Apple device, and the new Apple H1 chip ensures a stable, fast wireless connection for improved sound. They automatically pause your music when you remove them from your ears. What’s more, you’ll be able to switch off between devices seamlessly without having to disconnect. The AirPods charge quickly in the charging case, which delivers up to 24 hours of playback time while you’re on-the-go, and you can listen for up to five hours on a single charge. The case charges with a lightning connector. The controls are easy to use as well: Just double tap to play or skip forward, or access Siri by saying “Hey Siri.” She can announce messages from your phone directly to your AirPods.

But of course, the most important feature of a pair of earbuds is the sound quality, and the Apple AirPods do not disappoint in that area. Reviewers rave about the excellent sound quality these earbuds provide, along with the seamless connection and voice assistant features. The Apple AirPods received an average rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars from more than 270,000 customer reviewers, so you can rest assured you’ll get a great product for your money.
