Last chance to order AirPods for delivery in time for Christmas

Apple AirPods Wired

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.

We've been waiting for it and finally, Amazon has the Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation) below $200. To be specific, they're down to $199 from $249 so you save $50 off the regular price. Easily the highlight of the AirPods deals right now, this is one not to be missed. Of course, there's a slim chance we could see them even cheaper when Prime Day deals hit soon but we have the solution here. Buy now and you can always return them for a full refund, provided you don't unbox them. We'll be surprised to see them go cheaper though, so here's some quick insight into why you need them in your life.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods Pro 2
The Apple AirPods Pro 2 are fantastic earphones. Richly deserving of their place as the best wireless earbuds for Apple fans, they sound great. You get a richer audio experience than with previous Apple earbuds. It's thanks to the Apple-designed H2 chip which provides advanced audio performance, smarter noise cancellation and more immersive sound.

So, what do you do if you need or want new AirPods? Should you dip into the wealth of AirPods deals going on or are you better off waiting to see what Prime Day AirPods deals are going on? If you can't decide and don't know what to do, we're here to help answer that quandary.

Simply put, if you can wait, you should. There's simply no harm in waiting until Prime Day to see what headphone deals are around at the time. A lot of items will be cheaper during Prime Day and it's incredibly unlikely that anything will be more expensive than they are now.

This AirTags deal gets you a free pizza — kinda, sort of
Person holding an Apple AirTag.

Here on the Digital Trends deals team, we usually highlight steep discounts on expensive products. There's no denying the thrill of buying a luxury item for a fraction of its normal cost. But another, practical way to save is by buying stuff you were going to buy anyway while it's just a bit cheaper. If you're in the market for a new phone, for example, checking out the best phone deals is always a great idea, or Apple deals, or TV deals, or smart home gear -- you name it. If you're an Apple fanatic, we have a deal just like for you.
Right now, Amazon is offering $9 off the Apple AirTags in a four-pack, but here's the kicker, you could use that tenner to order a pizza, soda, candy, or whatever your little heart desires. Yum, now I'm craving a greasy Pepperoni pie. Anyways, the Apple AirTags bundle is usually $99, but with this deal you can grab them for just $90, saving $9 -- so you can put it towards pizza, food, or whatever else you want. Check out that deal below or for more details on why the AirTag is a must-buy.

Why you should buy Apple AirTags
In short, the Apple AirTags are small, GPS-ready dongles or devices that you can use to track your belongings and valuables through Apple's Find My app service. They offer a simple one-tap setup with iPhone and iPad devices, you just tap and then tracking is activated. They're thin, lightweight, and durable so you can place them just about anywhere, to help you find lost remotes, secure your smartphone, keep an eye on your luggage, and much more.
In our Apple AirTag review, Christian de Looper praised the little device(s) for being easy to use, tapping into a huge ecosystem (Apple's), precision and reliable tracking support, and the option to replace the battery. You can also tap into a huge library of resources, like cases, keychains, and more, that extend your use of the tags, sometimes even allowing you to achieve more with them. For example, a simple keychain allows you to attach them to your keys, so you can always find your car keys, even if you leave them somewhere you visit like a restaurant, bar, or friend's house.
A special "Lost Mode" when activated, will automatically notify you that the tracker, and whatever it's attached to, has been detected in the Find My network. This is excellent for when you lose or misplace items and need to locate them, even after a long time of being away. All communications via Apple's Find My network are anonymous and encrypted, meaning your privacy is safe, and location data and history are never stored on the actual AirTag. That way if the tag is misplaced someone can't just look up sensitive information, like your home address.
Normally $99, Amazon is offering the Apple AirTag four-pack, right now, for just $90, which saves you $9. That might not seem like a lot until you go to order some food or a pizza. Yum. If you want to track lost or stolen items, the AirTag is one of the best ways to do that. We recommend grabbing some when you have the opportunity, like now. We're not sure how long the deal is going to last, just an FYI.
