There are two versions this time around, just like with the last-gen model. The standard $129 model adds active noise cancelation, which was previously only found on the more expensive $179 AirPods 4 with ANC models. They’re available from Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Apple. The upgraded $149 model features a wireless charging case, longer battery life, and touch controls on the earbud stem that lets you adjust the volume without pulling out your phone. You can preorder this model at Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Apple.
