Apple announced the AirPods 5 at the "Surprise and Shine" event on Sept. 9. Here's how to preorder the new earbuds.
Apple's Surprise and Shine event introduced a new iPhone lineup and the first-ever foldable iPhone. However, the most notable announcement was the AirPods 5. Preorders for these new earbuds opened on September 9, and they became available for purchase on September 18. There are two models of AirPods 5: the AirPods 5 and AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case, each offering unique features and price points.
The AirPods 5 starts at $129 and includes advanced active noise cancellation, a 50% increase in power compared to the AirPods 4 with ANC. The price is the same as the non-ANC AirPods 4. The second model, AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case, is priced at $149, $30 less than the AirPods 4 with ANC. Apple has introduced a new multiport acoustic architecture to enhance sound quality.
Battery life on these earbuds has been improved, offering up to five hours with active noise cancellation. Additionally, the AirPods 5 includes an on-ear volume stem control on the more expensive model. Retailers are still updating their pre-order listings for these new AirPods, so the story will be updated as this information becomes available.
