Expected to ship back in October, Apple's new wireless AirPods headphones are tipped to be coming next week. While expensive for in-ear headphones, the AirPods do bring a lot of features that play nicely with iOS and the new iPhone 7 devices (as well as iOS and Mac devices).
According to 9to5Mac, "an employee from Apple reseller Conrad has reportedly told a customer it will receive AirPods stock on November 17, and make them available to purchase by November 18-19. Here is the loosely translated quote from German blog Apfelpage.de:
Hello, I have just talked with an employee of the Conrad Online Store, since I am there on 14.10 the AirPods ordered and I wanted to cancel today. According to information from the employee, they have stockpiles from 17.11, I will then have them between November 18-19.
This is great news for anyone looking to go the wireless headphone route. Even more so for anyone with the budget and who wants to gift their favourite iPhone or iPad user with a present that they will truly appreciate this Christmas season.
