Amazon's fall Prime Day sale, Prime Big Deal Days, is in full swing. Our experienced deal hunters are keeping tabs on all the best Prime Day AirPods deals throughout the sale so you can snag Apple's popular earbuds for a low price.

Right now, the second-generation AirPods Pro are $80 off, matching the all-time low price we saw during the last Prime Day event. The second-gen Pros are among the best wireless earbuds you can buy (and our top pick for the best AirPods) thanks to their excellent sound quality and impressive active noise cancellation (ANC). The over-ear AirPods Max headphones with Lightning are also at their lowest price to date, at 28% off.

These Prime Day AirPods deals are expected to remain active through October 9 while supplies last. For more tech discounts, check out our comprehensive guides to the best Apple Prime Day deals and best Prime Day headphone deals.

Prime Day FAQs

Is Prime Day good for AirPods deals?

Amazon's Prime Day events routinely bring in record discounts on Apple's wireless headphones, and this week's Prime Big Deal Days event continues the pattern, as detailed in the AirPods deals above.

Which AirPods should you buy?

Apple's current AirPods lineup includes three earbud-style models: the AirPods 4, AirPods 4 with ANC, and AirPods Pro 2. The brand also sells one pair of over-ear headphones, the AirPods Max, with Lightning or USB-C charging. Though they all provide reliable performance, certain AirPods are better for specific buyers.

The standard AirPods 4 are the most affordable model. Their semi-open fit doesn't create a complete seal in your ear, and the entry-level edition lacks active noise cancellation. However, buyers willing to pay a bit more can opt to get the AirPods 4 with ANC.

Some retailers also still sell the older AirPods 3, but since the AirPods 4 deliver superior performance, we no longer recommend those earbuds unless you can find them heavily discounted. Unless the AirPods 3 are on sale for significantly less than the AirPods 4 without ANC, don't bother with the older model.

Apple's AirPods Pro 2 are the company's flagship wireless earbuds with the best sound quality. They feature an in-ear design with three ear-tip sizes to provide a more stable and comfortable fit. They also provide more powerful noise cancellation and offer new hearing health features. Read our AirPods Pro review for detailed impressions.

Finally, the AirPods Max are positioned as the brand's high-end headphones for buyers who want premium sound quality. They use an over-ear design instead of an earbud-style build, which makes them less portable but sound better. Check out our AirPods Max review.
