If you commute in a major city, chances are you see a lot of people wearing Apple AirPods. There’s a good reason for that: we’ve tested them for years, and they are one of the best earbuds for iPhone owners. And they are back at $169 right now, that’s 32% off. They are a worthwhile investment if you’ve been thinking about getting new wireless earbuds.
