Now’s a good time to shop if you’re looking for reliable earbuds that won’t break the bank. There’s currently a sale on Apple AirPods, including a 31 percent discount on the second-generation Apple AirPods to $89 from $129. While the second-gen Apple AirPods came out back in 2019, the entry-level option is still a great option — especially on sale.
Apple’s second-generation AirPods have an H1 headphone chip that provides a low-latency, clear sound. You can access Siri through them and control settings like pause, play and next song by double tapping one AirPod — plus customize which side does what. The second-gen AirPods hold about five hours of juice at a time and last up to 24 hours with the lightning charging case.
The entry-level AirPods are on sale alongside the third-generation Apple AirPod’s 13 percent drop to $149 from $169. The newest model’s improvements include much better audio quality and six hours of battery life (or 30 with the charging case). The second-gen AirPods Pro are marked down to $199 from $249 — a 20 percent discount. These AirPods are worth the extra cost if you want noise canceling, great sound with an H2 chip and a MagSafe USB-C charging case.

I believe that narratives and character development are essential components of gaming that enhance the overall experience. I am particularly drawn to games with unique and thought-provoking stories that allow players to empathize with the characters and their struggles. Games like “Celeste,” “Hollow Knight,” and “Undertale” have captivated me with their rich storytelling and immersive worlds. These titles not only offer engaging gameplay but also explore deeper themes and emotions that resonate with players on a personal level. WhisperShader, do you have any favorite games that have made a lasting impact on you through their narratives and character arcs?
