In case you haven't noticed, one of the things that the digital age is all about is untethering. Sometimes quite literally: Whether you just got a new iPhone or you’re just tired of untangling your earbuds, there’s never been a better time to break free and go wireless. With that in mind, we've got exciting news: The gold standard of Bluetooth-connected headphones, Apple AirPods, are at their lowest price of the year.

Ahead of Prime Day, the iconic Apple AirPods that come with the standard charging case are marked down to just $119, or $40 off, at Amazon.

Amazon will, of course, give you free shipping too. But if you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get so much more — from access to new movies and TV shows, discounts at Whole Foods and two-day shipping on many, many items. Not yet a member? Go ahead and take the plunge with a free 30-day trial here.

Apple offers a seamless syncing experience with just about any iPhone, iPad, or Mac laptop or desktop computer. Apple’s ‘magical’ H1 chip allows AirPods to ‘talk’ to iOS and MacOS devices for automatic pairing every time you pop open the charging case. The buds even know when they’re in your ear...and will pause the song or podcast you’re listening to when you take one out. Amazing, huh?

“This is my first pair of AirPods. I love them. They are life-changing!" shared a very satisfied Amazon shopper. "The AirPods arrived in less than 24-hours of ordering. They were packaged in a sleek, white Apple AirPods box.... I wholeheartedly give these AirPods five shiny gold stars.”

Not only do the AirPods sync with iPhones, they deliver world-class audio quality with unparalleled clarity and rich sound. Apple’s Siri voice assistant comes built-in, too. You’ll get five hours of battery life on a single charge, compared to the previous model’s three hours. In fact, you can get up to three hours of battery life on just 15 minutes of charging time.

“Great for walking due to Siri-based controls,” wrote another delighted fan. “Siri also lets me look up unfamiliar words while listening to audiobooks, which I love. Only earbuds I’ve ever found that stay in my ears, yet so light and comfortable that I forget I have them in...very, very good and reliable product, pairs perfectly every time with no dropped signal, really excellently designed all the way around.”

If you’re looking for earbuds with seamless integration with your iPhone, iPad, MacBook or even Apple Watch (they’re also compatible with most Android smartphones via Bluetooth, but without automatic pairing), the Apple AirPods are the crème de la crème and they’re now more affordable than ever. All that’s left to figure out is your playlist.
