AirPods 5 just pulled off the impossible for Apple — more features, lower price
For a company that's been quite fond of price increases in recent times, a price drop on one of its most-popular products is welcomed with open arms.
Apple's AirPods 5 just shattered expectations by offering more features and a lower price. The wireless charging case and on-stem volume control, previously exclusive to AirPods Pro, are now included in the AirPods 5 line. Both AirPods 5 models come at a lower price than their predecessor, the AirPods 4 with ANC, which launched at AU$299 two years ago.
The new AirPods 5 models can be purchased for AU$219 and AU$249, respectively. Apple claims industry-leading noise cancellation in an open-ear design, enhanced sound quality, and support for Personalised Spatial Audio. Additionally, these new AirPods boast improved durability and up to five hours of playtime with ANC activated. The AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case also features wireless charging capabilities and on-stem volume control, which is especially convenient for users like myself who own AirPods Pro 3.
These AirPods 5 and AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case will be available for pre-order starting September 18, with Amazon offering the best deal at AU$217.
