AirPods deals: which AirPods are right for you?
If you're just looking for some great wireless earbuds that will pair nicely with iOS devices and work right out of the box, then we recommend the standard AirPods for most casual users. They've still got a great comfortable fit for most people, and overall have a nice, balanced sound profile that's generally suited to a wide pallet of genres. The wireless charging case is a good pick up also if you have a Qi-compatible charging mat - a fairly inexpensive and handy thing to have since most modern phones now support it also.
The main selling point of the AirPods Pro is the noise cancellation features, which may be a big thing for you if you're facing a noisy commute or working situation for example. They're also waterproof and have upgraded silicone earbuds, which are more customisable and therefore may suit a wider range of users than the molded plastic buds of the standard line. Outside of these key upgrades, you're getting around the same battery life at around 4.5 hours per charge, so if you can do without these premium features, you may be better off with the standard AirPods.
Our Apple AirPods deals page is another fantastic resource for tracking down the best deals on Apple's premium earbuds, especially if you're visiting in from the US.
If you'd like something a little cheaper then we also recommend heading over to our Beats headphone deals page, where we're looking at Apple's other excellent headphones range.
