Now through May 11, AppleInsider readers can enter to win a pair of Apple's hard to find AirPods valued at $159. These wireless headphones are in hot demand with a current wait time of six weeks when ordered direct from Apple. Don't feel like forking over $159 plus tax? Enter today for your chance to win a pair of AirPods and avoid the extended delay.
One lucky winner will receive a brand-new pair of Apple AirPods sealed in box with a charging case and Lightning to USB cable. These wireless earphones feature one-tap setup that makes pairing them with an iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or Mac quick and easy (you must have an iCloud account). The AirPods can even sense when you're listening and pause audio when you take them out. Users have the option of using one or both AirPods at a time thanks to optical sensors and motion accelerometers that work in tandem with the energy-efficient W1 chip. This allows for five hours of listening on a single charge.
