The AirPods 2 buds are comfortable to wear, sound good, and offer twice the talk time of the original AirPods. They’re powered by Apple’s H1 chip, the same one found in the AirPods Pro. This makes for fast and convenient Bluetooth pairing, especially for iPhone owners. You can expect good sound quality, a lightweight, comfortable design, and even Siri integration. Plus, for $79, the AirPods 2’s battery life does a decent job of getting you through long journeys. Rated at up to 5 hours of listening time with a single charge, along with 3 hours of talk time. Plus, 15 minutes in the charging case get your around 3 hours. The AirPods 2nd generation are a great, cheap alternative to the AirPods Pro 2, especially if you’re not fussed about active noise cancellation or Apple’s Spatial Audio. If you’re looking for simple, quality beats, the AirPods 2 are for you. If you’re looking for more Black Friday headphone deals, we’ve got you covered.
