Apple AirPods are among the most popular headphones on the market. They’re compact, easy to pair with your devices, and offer reliable connectivity, which can sometimes be a problem with truly wireless earphones. So there’s a chance that you might be looking for a deal on them.
Surprisingly, they’re no stranger to the occasional price cut. There are often discounts on even the more expensive AirPods Pro, which offers noise cancellation and better sound than the standard second-generation model.
We’ll run through all three of the current models below, including the standard AirPods, the more expensive AirPods that include a wireless charging case, and finally, the AirPods Pro.
These are Apple’s entry-level wireless earbuds. They are a reliable pair of wireless earbuds with a one-size-fits-most design. The AirPods usually retail for $160, which is not a bad price, but this model frequently gets discounted. You can currently find Apple’s most affordable AirPods for $110 at Amazon. You can also get them for $120 at Walmart, or $130 at Best Buy and Target,
The AirPods with wireless charging case are identical in every way to the standard AirPods, save for one: their charging case can be charged on a Qi wireless pad.
You’ll need to provide your own wireless charging pad to take advantage of this feature (if you have no use for it, just get the more affordable option above), but even the best ones are fairly inexpensive.
Most of the time you can find this version for less than Apple’s sticker price of $199, but keep a lookout for deals that bring the price down to $160 or below. You can get them for $160 at Amazon and Target.
Apple’s high-end truly wireless earbuds, the AirPods Pro, have better sound quality than the other models described above, include noise cancellation, and now support Apple’s new spatial audio feature. We think they’re the best wireless earbuds that iPhone owners can buy.
The AirPods Pro are frequently available for less than their $249 retail price, and in fact, sometimes drop down to $200 and lower. Right now, if you don’t mind buying refurbished, they are $190 at Best Buy (Geek Squad Certified). If you want a new pair, the lowest price you can get them for currently is $180 at Amazon and Walmart. If those deals run out, Best Buy and B&H Photo are offering these flagship earbuds for $200; and Target is selling the AirPods Pros for $220.
If you want to get an Apple Care Plus protection plan for your wireless earbuds, B&H is selling a bundle that includes both for $278.
