Owners of the Apple iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus who have preordered AirPods, will be happy to know the music listening device could ship out to customers on Nov. 30. Well, that's for the folks in France, but as it stands right now, the date is not concrete.
Earlier in November, several reports claimed the Apple AirPods won't ship out until January of 2017, however, another report claims the earbuds will definitely ship before the end of 2016, which is quite possible.
Furthermore, it's possible that some retailers might have already gotten demonstration units, and as such, they must now wait on Apple to give the go-ahead to demonstrate the product to consumers, according to Apple Insider.

No solid date, but if the Czech retailer is telling the truth, then a worldwide release could happen next month.

When the AirPods are available at retail stores, consumers should seek to gain around five hours of battery life from the device on a single charge. There's also a rechargeable carrying case that promises up to 24 hours of battery power.

As for the price, these wireless earphones will retail for the cool price of $159, which is $10 more than the competing and upcoming BeatsX Bluetooth earbuds. The main difference with the BeatsX is the fact that it will come with a neckband to keep the earbuds from falling to the ground.
