How to preorder the new AirPods 5 models

mashable.com — September 9, 2026 at 08:01 PM UTC

Apple began accepting preorders for the new AirPods 5 on Sept. 9, following its "Surprise and Shine" event, with official availability set for Friday, Sept. 18. The earbuds come in two models, starting at $129. The AirPods 5 and AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case, priced at $129 and $149 respectively, feature active noise cancellation, a new feature for the base model. They offer 50 percent more ANC power than the AirPods 4 with ANC, improved sound via a new multiport architecture, and up to five hours of battery life with ANC. The higher-priced model includes an on-ear volume stem control. Both models are priced lower than their AirPods 4 counterparts, with the wireless charging case version costing $30 less than the AirPods 4 with ANC.
