Previously, checking out an AirPods beta was a lengthy process, but with the iOS 26 developer preview on your iPhone, it's now just a few taps away.

While you should not expect the premium finish or advanced features of higher-priced companies, these earbuds have been highly rated with a 4.7 out of 5-star rating and nearly 10,000 units sold in a single month. For this price, it is hard to find a better bargain in the market today.
