Best AirPods Deals: Nab Apple and Beats Headphones and Earbuds for Less 13 hours ago

Somewhat surprisingly, Amazon has already knocked a couple of bucks off the price of the brand-new AirPods 4. You can save $10 on the basic version without noise cancellation, or $10 on the version with ANC — dropping the price down to $119 and $169, respectively.

The second-gen AirPods Pro are among the best noise-canceling earbuds on the market and are a top pick for Apple users.

This model includes the USB-C and MagSafe charging case, although they are almost identical to the excellent AirPods Pro 2, which come with a Lightning case, except for one key feature. Folks who buy a Vision Pro headset will benefit from lossless audio when connecting these earbuds. That’s probably an edge case, but it’s still worth knowing about, especially if Apple adds the same feature to future iPhones and other hardware.

The AirPods Max are Apple’s first pair of full-size headphones, and they’re full of high-end features such as noise cancellation, spatial audio and easy integration with Apple devices. Yes, paying almost as much as you would for a PS5 might sound excessive, but here’s the thing: They’re actually kinda worth it, so long as you don’t feel burned by their lack of support for full lossless audio. Just note that this price is only available on the Lightning version of Apple’s AirPods Max and selected colors at that.

Now five years old, the AirPods 2 are the least advanced AirPods on the market, but they still boast some impressive specs and are a great choice for those on a tight budget. They’re equipped with the same H1 chip as the AirPods 3, so they have the same fast connectivity and hands-free Siri access.

If you’re an active person, the Powerbeats Pro may be the best headphones for you. With a design that wraps around your ear and tips that fit inside, you get a great fit and some awesome audio. The charging case is bigger than some of the others, but odds are you’ll be tossing it in a bag anyway, so it shouldn’t be much of an issue.

These Beats Flex earbuds are a good option for people who want a wireless listening experience without a giant pair of headphones. They’re perfect for workouts, calls or listening to your favorite podcast on a commute. They’re also only $49 right now for most variants on Amazon, making them a high-quality pair of earbuds without a high price.

While these aren’t AirPods per se, we’re including them because Beats is owned by Apple. Beats Studio Pro are a great alternative to Apple AirPods Max without sacrificing quality. They offer a battery life of up to 40 hours as well as noise cancellation, and they pair easily with different OSes, including Android.
