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.

Don’t miss this chance to get the Apple AirPods 3 for $99
Apple AirPods 3 in their case..

Apple fans who are on the hunt for true wireless earbuds deals probably have their sights set on AirPods. If you don't mind getting an older model, you can currently buy the Apple AirPods 3 for a very affordable $99 from Walmart, following a $70 discount on their sticker price of $169. We're not sure how much time is remaining on this offer, but with more than 1,000 units sold over the past 24 hours, we don't think the limited stocks for these wireless earbuds will last long. Proceed with your purchase now if you don't want to miss this bargain.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods 3
While the Apple AirPods 4 was released last year, alongside the Apple AirPods 4 with ANC, we still highly recommend the Apple AirPods 3, especially at this discounted price. The wireless earbuds are more than three years old, but their sound quality remains impressive, and they also support personalized spatial audio with dynamic head tracking for a more immersive experience when listening to compatible content. The Apple AirPods 3 also come with the line's trademark ease of pairing with an iPhone -- just place them near your device, open their charging case, and tap the onscreen instructions to pair them.
