Where to preorder the Apple AirPods 5

The Apple AirPods 5 are bringing active noise cancellation to the masses, and they’re now available for preorder at a variety of retailers. They’ll officially launch on September 18th, the same day as the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, as well as the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max.

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.
