Apple unveiled the AirPods 5 on September 9, 2026, equipping both models with active noise cancellation and cutting the price of its premium version by 30 euros. The base model remains at 149 euros but now includes ANC, while the wireless charging case version drops to 169 euros. The two configurations differ only by wireless charging, battery life, and touch volume control, with a 20-euro price gap. This price reduction contrasts with typical industry trends, likely aimed at competing with rivals like Samsung and Huawei. The new earbuds feature improved noise cancellation, IP57 certification, and up to five hours of battery life with ANC.
