These are the cheapest AirPods you'll find

Today, AirPods are more diversified than ever. On the one hand, we have the AirPods Max, the most premium and studio headphones. The AirPods Pro are more off-road headphones, with better sound quality and more resistant. And the third generation AirPods are the best starter range (but not the only one). And yet, there is an even cheaper model that you can buy.

Entry AirPods are still very good

Currently Apple continues to sell, officially, the second generation AirPods. Without a doubt, it is a product that has been a success, since it was launched in 2019 , four years ago. And if we take into account that Apple follows the policy of abruptly discontinuing products, as is the case with the iPhone, these headphones can boast the opposite.

Although they are headphones that were presented 4 years ago, they are not only the cheapest that you can buy at Apple officially at the lowest price . Rather, they are excellent headphones, despite the many improvements that the AirPods 3 and AirPods Pro have. So, to refresh your memory a bit, let’s look at the specifications of the AirPods 2:

  • Apple H1 chip
  • Hey Siri Compatibility
  • Charge via Lightning cable
  • Up to 5 hours of music playback on one charge
  • Case capable of granting up to 24 hours of audio playback
  • Bluetooth 5.0

They are the best entry basic

Compared to higher models, we don’t have tracking technology for spatial audio, we don’t have water resistance, and we don’t have wireless charging either. But these headphones are aimed at a different audience than AirPods 3 , and even AirPods Pro. AirPods 2 are designed for more casual use, to talk on the phone or make video calls. They are also ideal if we want to have a second pair of secondary AirPods, to complement our wired or more specific headphones for listening to music.

They are a very compact and light accessory, and their autonomy is still very competent today. Like the rest of the AirPods range, it is charged through the Lightning connector and is compatible (with the link with iCloud and our Apple ID) with many Apple devices:

  • All iPad Pros
  • All iPad Air
  • From iPad mini 2 onwards
  • From iPad 5th generation onwards
  • From iPhone 5S onwards
  • iPod Touch 6th and 7th generation
  • All Apple Watch models
  • Apple TV HD and Apple TV 4K
  • MacBook 2015-2017
  • 11” MacBook Air 2012 onwards
  • 13″ MacBook Pro from 2012 onwards
  • 21″ iMac from 2012 onwards
  • 27″ iMac from 2012 onwards
  • iMac Pro
  • Mac mini from 2012 onwards
  • MacStudio
  • Mac Pro from 2013 onwards

The (official) price at which they are sold in the Apple Store is 159 euros. It is a relatively low price, if we take into account that they are headphones that offer performance , sound quality and microphones and above all, they last over time. However, we also leave you a link where you can buy them on Amazon, and they usually have a more interesting price. Which makes the purchase even more worthwhile, since we will get exactly the same, but for a lower amount.
