U.S. Cellular just got a nice head start on their Black Friday game, and we’re thinking it’s the perfect time to finally splurge on a new Apple device. Through Nov. 26, you can get $50 off the Apple AirPods with the purchase of any new iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch.

If you haven’t yet snatched up a pair of Apple AirPods, chances are you’ve been waiting for the right deal. (As cool and innovative as they are, their normal $159 price tag is still pretty hard to swallow for a pair of wireless earbuds.) 

What you’ve probably realized is: the deals aren’t usually that great. Generally speaking, you’ll be lucky if you catch them at $15 off.

So when you have the chance to knock a solid $50 off those suckers? We say: do it. After all, the holidays are coming up and if you’re not in the market for a new phone, an iPad, or an Apple Watch yourself, we’re sure someone on your list wouldn’t mind them as a gift. (And let’s be real: you’re gonna be paying basically full price for most Apple products at any given time, so passing on this deal in hopes of getting a better deal on a new iPhone down the road may not pay off.)

The case is magnetized so the AirPods can't just slip out.

The hype behind the AirPods isn’t unwarranted. (Read our full review of them here.)These things are game changers when it comes to wireless listening. As soon as you pull them out of the charging case, they instantly turn on and connect to your iPhone or other Apple device via Bluetooth. Using optical sensors, they’ll start playing audio as soon as you put them in your ears and automatically pause when you take them out. Controlling the AirPods is as simple as a double tap, putting Siri at your command for whatever task you need, whether it’s changing the volume, song, making a call, or even getting directions.

Not to mention, they rock an impressive battery life of up to five hours of straight listening, with a charging case that’ll give you up to 24 extra hours. 

Still not sold on the AirPods? You can also opt to get $100 towards Beats Headphones instead. 

Take it from us: we know deals. And this is one that you won’t see very often. Save $50 on the Apple AirPods with purchase of a new iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch here.
