Unboxing the $149 AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case

Apple announced the new AirPods 5 base model will remain at $129, but the step-up $149 model with a wireless charging case and Find My speaker might be more your style. Both will have active noise cancellation (ANC), which is an upgrade from the AirPods 4. Let’s unbox them with CNET executive editor David Carnoy.…

    Why are people surprised that Apple no longer includes a cable or a charger for that matter. When the first thing that most people will do is go get a 3rd party MiFi certified one anyways.

    • @sameerrajakumar

      For the price they charge the cable n charger should be included no question about that

    • @Mr.alhall3

      September 10, 2026 at 7:51 pm

      @sameerrajakumarI hear ya…I’ve got (4) 240w usb-c cables for $20 off Amazon and I keep a Anker 65W wall charger on me. More power than anything Apple has offered.

    AirPods 5 was not as what I hoped for, they should have put cameras like they leaked

    • @UnleashedEx

      September 10, 2026 at 4:44 pm

      @Ghost818-x8c they will those drop next year

    • @UnleashedEx

      September 10, 2026 at 4:44 pm

      Those are the AirPods Pro 4 or AirPods Ultra…

    I hate this privilege

  4. @javtimestwo

    September 10, 2026 at 7:34 pm

    For those in the know which is the better value?
    The 4 or the 5?

    • @bananaburned

      September 10, 2026 at 9:01 pm

      Definitely the AirPods 5, AirPods 4 were $129 with no ANC, while AirPods 5 is $129 and does have ANC, aswell as some other neat features

  5. @LaurencioAlfaro

    Keep bringing the bearish and doom and gloom you have been! the markets love it and Bitcoin is reacting positively!! SPX26B is the only coin you were right about at this point.

  6. @JessieEnriquez-r5k

    September 10, 2026 at 9:30 pm

    One full bitcoin and $SPX26B will soon buy more than 20 ounces of gold.

  7. @AmithCherit

    September 10, 2026 at 9:30 pm

    I don’t know but this all seems too unrealistic bearish as the market is primed for a bull season. The moment I see BTC pass 80K mark like it has recently, I am flooding the SPX26B drop.

  8. @KennethHyun-o9g

    September 10, 2026 at 9:30 pm

    ByBit is adopting SPX26B very soon.

  9. @NormanNogxina

    September 10, 2026 at 9:30 pm

    $SPX26B The GOAT 🐐❤🎉

  10. @VaernewyckSpearman

    September 10, 2026 at 9:30 pm

    The market is rallying hard for Bitcoin/SPX26B! Let’s compare bottom signals from previous cycles to now. Would make a great video.

    Literal just the 4’s

    • @0_Mirage

      September 11, 2026 at 1:19 pm

      but same price for free anc

  12. @pieceofshitzu2

    September 11, 2026 at 3:27 pm

    As someone who has the 4s. I’m kinda salty i paid more for less

  13. @beamboy420

    September 11, 2026 at 6:30 pm

    When is the full review ?

  14. @ricardocisnero3931

    September 11, 2026 at 11:05 pm

    How tf do yall get access to these before their actual release

    • @HugoStiglitz1312

      September 12, 2026 at 3:42 am

      @ricardocisnero3931 companies send products to media outlets early for review.

    • @Just1n_art

      September 12, 2026 at 2:12 pm

      @ricardocisnero3931 it’s fake

  15. @alexanderfazel

    September 11, 2026 at 11:46 pm

    My concern is I heard (don’t know for sure) that AirPods 5 might cause more pressure in the ears due to the increased ANC within the same tight space. I’ll be trying them out to compare to my 4 ANC, as I love the no tips on my 4 ANC and would welcome more noise cancellation, as long as I don’t feel uncomfortable due to some kind of pressure.

    • @dzwonadaj

      September 13, 2026 at 5:26 am

      @alexanderfazel yeah bro the pressure feeling is my biggest concern in buying the airpods 5, do you know where to watch a more in depth review on them?

  16. @maryamhaghighi2651

    September 12, 2026 at 2:54 am

    It’s pretty much the same honestly

  17. @MichaelHeartsJessicaH

    September 12, 2026 at 9:04 am

    AirPods 4 look alike that look no different,AirPods without the plastic tips suck

  18. @Rickiyye

    September 12, 2026 at 3:20 pm

    Weird for Apple’s marketing to make a misstep, they have 2 AirPods 5 models, look the same as the previous version, the 4, and the 2 version 5 models are not markedly visually distinctive so it can be anticipated people that aren’t that familiar with the differences buying the step down 5’s based on the marketing of the step up version.

    Hmm…

    They really want that earbuds income, huh

  19. @Sensei_Leo

    September 12, 2026 at 10:02 pm

    Trash battery as usual. I love these but have to run with the pros

    • @Pepperonick

      September 12, 2026 at 10:15 pm

      @Sensei_Leo you’re running with anc on for more than 5 hours straight? Impressive

    • @Sensei_Leo

      September 13, 2026 at 10:15 am

      @Pepperonickon the pro 3s? They last about 8 hours

    • @Pepperonick

      September 13, 2026 at 11:07 am

      @Sensei_Leo no im saying the airpods 5 last 5 hours with ANC on, and you said that isn’t enough for runs
