That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a pair of AirPods if you can’t resist splurging on these new low prices. “If you’re already in the Apple ecosystem, you like Apple products, and all you want is something that immediately connects to your laptop, AirPods will do that, and if you don’t care about sound and controls, they might be the best headphones for you,” says Lauren. But if you want more functionality from your headphones, he adds, you can find cheaper options or Apple-compatible pairs, like the Beats Fit Pro, that can give you an easier and more enjoyable listening experience.
