Apple‘s top-selling AirPods (and wired EarPods) are a staple in most of our pockets or bags, and for good reason. The headphones and earbuds are not only some of the best-looking audio devices on the market, but they also deliver sharp sound quality and better integration with Apple devices than options from other brands.
But Apple knows just how much we all love AirPods, and they price the earbuds and headphones accordingly. Retail prices for the AirPods line generally range from $169 for the AirPods (3rd Gen) to close to $550 for the AirPods Pro Max headphones.
At a Glance: Best Prime Day Apple AirPods Deals
However, here’s a secret: You don’t have to pay full price for Apple AirPods. Amazon has discounted a ton of Apple headphones and earbuds during the retailer’s Prime Big Deal Days event, taking place today through Wednesday, Oct. 9. (To take advantage of the discounts, you’ll need an Amazon Prime membership — or test out a 30-day free trial now.)
Whether you’re looking for affordable basic AirPods, AirPods Pros, or top-of-the-line AirPods Max headphones, there’s almost always somewhere to find them at a discount, including this week during Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days. Read on for a full guide on scoring AirPods deals (before they’re gone).
Best Prime Day Apple AirPods Deals
AirPods (3rd Gen)
The Apple AirPods (3rd Generation) are another great daily go-to pair for listening to music and taking calls. The super comfortable buds are sweat and water-resistant — an upgrade from the older generation above. You also get more battery life at 30 hours with the included wireless charging case. Another big upgrade from the 2nd Gen AirPods is that the new buds offer spatial audio: A clearer, more detailed way to hear your music. Sound seemingly “floats” around you rather than directly at you, making for a wider, more impressive sound space.
AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)
If you’re looking for noise-cancelling earbuds, it’s hard to beat the AirPods Pros. Even compared to more expensive noise-cancelling headphones, I find the AirPods Pros to block more sound while offering very solid, rich sound for such a small package. Their easy connectivity, style, and noise-cancellation powers make the AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) our favorite earbuds.
AirPods Max
Apple’s AirPods Max combine great audio quality in a premium over-ear headphone design. They feature active noise cancelling to help seal off outside noise when you’re listening to music, or taking a call. Switch over to “transparency mode” when you want to listen to music but still hear the environment around you (say, to hear traffic while you’re running or to chat with a co-worker).
Apple EarPods
Although AirPods offer better audio quality, wireless convenience, and noise-cancellation powers, some users still prefer wired Apple ‘buds. The EarPods, which come with USB-C, lightning, or aux connectivity options, are going for just $18 on Amazon right now, making them an excellent budget option. Even though they’re priced incredibly low, they deliver decent audio quality, thanks to their unusual design. The built-in remote lets you adjust the sound volume too and the built-in mic means you can take work calls straight from these wired earphones.
