When Apple introduced its AirPods, the wireless earbuds were predictably subjected to quite a bit of laughter, and some of the early AirPods photos also looked absolutely absurd. Many critics and even prospective buyers were reasonably concerned that free floating design of the AirPods would cause the earbuds to fall out.

Following a nearly two-month delay, Apple's AirPods finally began shipping last month and the reviews have been amazingly positive. Not only users praised Apple's AirPods for delivering robust and crisp sound, initial concerns regarding comfort and the ability for AirPods to remain in place appear to be without merit.

Remarkably, a research report from Slice Intelligence last week have also relayed that Apple's AirPods accounted for a whopping 75% of all online headphone sales during the month of December, according to BGR.

However, Apple held off until after the holidays to run its first TV ad for AirPods, perhaps due to their constrained supply. That situation hasn't improved much but you should start to see latest video spots airing across cable networks as of this weekend. They feature dancer Lil Buck, who's listening to his AirPods through the streets of Mexico City, reports TheVerge.

Looking to keep that momentum going on, Apple has released four new AirPods ads on its YouTube channel. And if history is any indication, there's a very good chance that these ads will make their commercial debut during today's NFL playoff game between the Patriots and the Texans.

All of the four ads released feature the song "Down" by Marian Hill and as far as Apple commercials go, these are all pretty solid. The iPhone 7, however, also gets a mention at the end, but remember that AirPods work with all iPhones on iOS 10, so it can be used with an iPhone 5 and anything newer.

The Apple Store currently showing a six-week shipping timeframe for Airpods, so the best bet is hoping to catch a shipment as It comes in at the Apple Store.
