The most wonderful time of the year is so close that you can basically taste the gingerbread cookies. So, if you haven't polished off your shopping list, we recommend you do
so, stat. If you're looking for a last-minute gift for someone special—or, let's be honest, yourself —Amazon is slashing the price off of Apple's AirPods and AirPods Pro.
There's a reason why Apple's earbuds are one of the most covetable gadgets around. In addition to providing crisp, clear sound, this option has an H1 chip that makes it easy to pair with your smartphone. (These earbuds are also decked out with optical sensors and motion accelerometers, which determine whether they're actually in your ears.) Each pair is compatible with Siri, so it's like having a virtual personal assistant inside your head. When your earbuds are not in use, you can stick them in your charging case so you can use them anytime, anywhere.
If you want to upgrade your earbuds game even more, the AirPods Pro has a 24-hour battery life, active noise cancellation, and an expanded mesh microphone port so you can take calls outside.
Of course, Apple's AirPods have a lot more to offer than great sound. Thanks to their sleek, simple design, they're one of the hottest accessories around—literally. I mean, have you seriously not swooned over an AirPod-clad Tom Holland? (But, if you can't get a tech-savvy Peter Parker under your Christmas tree, these buds are the next best thing.)
Apple's AirPods and AirPods Pro normally cost $159 and $249, respectively. However, Amazon's currently shaving as much as 43% off the asking price, meaning you can get them for as much as $70 off. (Even better? You can snag the original AirPods for $90. Wow.) Whether you want to treat yourself to a new gadget or turn your partner into a Henry Goulding doppelgänger (hey, you thought of it, too), now's the best time to add a pair to your cart and it should arrive before the holiday festivities begin.
