'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.
Apple's best priced AirPods are $40 off right now
Buy Apple's 2nd generation AirPods now at a major discount at Walmart and Amazon.
Apple's classic second-generation AirPods were already ZDNET's tested pick for best AirPods for the price. Normally you can find them discounted to $99 on major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. But rarely do they go past that price point. Lucky for us, that already-affordable price dropped once more, and the deal is still available -- you can snag a pair of AirPods for just $90 from Walmart and Amazon right now, saving you $40 off the original price. If you've been thinking about getting yourself a new pair, now might just be the time to buy.
The second-generation AirPods come with a Lightning charger case. They offer solid sound, five hours of battery of life (and a fully-charged case can recharge them five times, giving you up to 24 hours), and voice-activated Siri access. They're also super easy to set up and to switch between your Apple devices.
