Save 23-38% - The 2nd Gen of the base model AirPods might have a slightly less premium sound quality and come with a slightly shorter feature list compared to the Pro, but if you're after a more affordable option, they're still a great pair. The UK deal here isn't quite as strong, but at under £100 this is still a deal we'd recommend against the competition.

The latest generation of the ubiquitous AirPods are on offer at $20 off. They feature 30 hours battery life, spatial audio, and are sweat and water-resistant. We've saw them at $139.99 for a brief period back in August though, so unless you're in a hurry we'd suggest holding out. The USA deal is the better of the two here, and according to our tools, is the lowest these have been priced since their launch in 2021.

The OpenRun are the sporty version in the range, with a lightweight frame and a secure but comfortable fit. They're good for around eight hours of use and are IP67-rated against water and dust. They're actually probably a better pick for many cyclists than the more expensive OpenRun Pro, because they're better sealed against weather and cheaper. 

The <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=78475&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.co.uk%2Fdp%2FB09F3JTFH5%2F%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-21%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-21" data-link-merchant="Amazon UK"" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"" data-link-merchant="Amazon UK"">Mini version, which plays slightly nicer with helmets and high-collar winter jackets, are also on the same offer.

The OpenRun Pro are only IP55 rated, so not quite as well sealed as the OpenRun, but that's still probably enough for all but the worst rain conditions. They do benefit from a slightly better sound quality though, as well as a longer battery life of 10 hours and perhaps the biggest reason to choose these, the quick charge that will give 90 mins of use from a five-minute charge.
