Are these worth it over the AirPods Pro?

If you want noise cancellation or a sealed fit, the AirPods Pro are the better pick. These are cheaper and lighter, with an open fit that suits calls and casual listening.

How long does the battery last?

About 5 hours of listening per charge, with the case adding roughly 24 hours total. A quick 15-minute charge in the case gives about 3 hours of playback.

Do they work with Android phones?

Yes, over standard Bluetooth, but you lose instant pairing, hands-free Siri and Adaptive EQ. Android users get basic controls only.

Are they water resistant enough for running?

They are rated IPX4, which handles sweat and light rain. Do not submerge them or rinse them under a tap.

The earbuds, the Lightning charging case and a Lightning to USB-A cable. No wall adapter is included.

When is the best time to buy?

Prices have dipped to about $99 during Black Friday and back-to-school sales. The current $129 at Amazon as of November 3 is close to the low end.

Our take on the AirPods with Lightning Charging Case

The AirPods with Lightning Charging Case are Apple's second-generation true wireless earbuds, sold with a wired Lightning case rather than the wireless MagSafe one. They run on the H1 chip, pair quickly with Apple devices, support hands-free Siri and Adaptive EQ, and are IPX4 sweat and water resistant. The latest best price is $129 at Amazon as of November 3, near the low end of their recent range, which has run roughly $99 to $159.
