Apple cuts the price of the second-gen AirPods to $129
Apple revealed an all-new set of AirPods today, but the current model isn’t going away just yet. The company also announced that it’s cutting the price on the 2019 model from $159 to $129. That price doesn’t include the wireless charging case that works with Qi-certified accessories.
Either way, you can expect to pay less for the previous-gen version. That could still be a smart purchase if you can live without features like Spatial Audio and Adaptive EQ, among other things. The 2019 model does still offer hands-free Siri, which is quite handy in its own right. For comparison, the second-generation model is currently $119 on Amazon, or $160 with wireless charging case.
