The Airpods Pro have active noise canceling, transparency mode as well as adaptive and spatial audio, which provides a surround sound-like quality to music. They’re ideal for walking, running, commuting and taking calls, and have up to six hours of listening time, according to Apple. NBC Select reporter Harry Rabinowitz says they are the best wireless earbuds for anyone with an iPhone. “You can use them to commute, workout, run or watch your favorite shows, they are above average at basically any task you throw at them,” he says.
Apple’s first over-ear bluetooth headphones, the AirPods Max have powerful audio quality, active noise cancelation, transparency mode and spatial audio. They have cushions made from memory foam covered with mesh for a comfortable and uninterrupted listening experience, according to Apple. NBC Select associate reporter Bianca Alvarez loves using them to focus at work and when flying. “My favorite thing about these headphones is how much noise they block out,” she says. “I’ve tried other headphones that claim to block out so much outside disturbance, but these are the only ones in my experience that actually do that.” This model uses Apple’s old Lightning connector to charge, hence the steeper discount compared to the newer AirPods Max USB-C version.
An Apple AirTag is one of the best ways to keep track of important items like suitcases, wallets and keys. Pairing one with your phone is simple and fast — hold it near your phone, click connect, name the device and then connect it to your Apple ID so you can use the Find My app to see its location. NBC Select Commerce Editor Cory Fernandez keeps an AirTag in a holder in his wallet, which works great since it’s thin and around the size of an enamel pin.
