5 reasons Apple's $30 wired earbuds are better than its $160 wireless AirPods

AirPods, Apple's first truly wireless headphones, finally went on sale on Tuesday.

AirPods were originally supposed to launch back in October, but Apple delayed the headphones without providing an updated release date. Many believed Apple wouldn't release AirPods in time for the all-important holiday shopping season.

And so, it should be no surprise that AirPods are in high demand right now: They're a brand-new Apple product, and they're a pair of wireless headphones. What's not to love, right?

Wrong.

Aside from being wireless, there's not much that justifies AirPods' high price. Here are 5 reasons you should buy EarPods, Apple's wired in-ear headphones, instead of AirPods.
