Best deals on headphones and earbuds

Apple’s second-generation AirPods make taking your fave podcasts, jams and shows on the go a breeze. The buds cancel out noise more efficiently than the previous version. Better yet, they have even more battery life than before — now you can get up to 24 hours of juice, thanks to the included charging case.

This headphone convert said: “I’ve had a real problem with finding comfortable earbuds and for years have stuck to the one corded earbuds that were comfortable and didn’t fall out. I thought it was finally time to try these as I transitioned to only having a cell phone. I was surprised at how comfortable they are. The sound quality is good and the charge lasts a long time. I’m a believer!”

A five-star reviewer wrote: “My elderly mom is not very tech-savvy, but she loves her iPad. It has become her gateway to the world. She relies on FaceTime calls as she is nearly deaf, and being able to see someone’s face really helps her understand them better. She uses it to watch her favorite shows and listen to her fave music. And she loves to play games on it. She is finding the Siri functions very helpful too.”
