Apple’s wireless AirPods are now on sale

Apple’s AirPods are now on sale, after being delayed from their original October launch. The $159 wireless earbuds are currently listed as shipping later in December, and can be ordered here, as spotted by MacRumors. Apple previously said it needed “a little more time before AirPods are ready for our customers,” although we still don’t know the reason for the delay.

The AirPods are a key accessory for the iPhone 7, one of the first big phones to ship without a headphone jack. They look almost identical to the company’s old EarPods, but now connect via Bluetooth using a W1 wireless chip, not over wires. For $159, you’ll get a pair of AirPods, a small charging case, and a Lightning-to-USB cable. They’re supposed to deliver 5 hours of listening on a charge, and the case allows them to charge while stored in your bag. There’s still no word on Apple’s Beats X earbuds, which appear to be delayed until next year.
