SAVE UP TO $90: New Apple AirPods are likely on their way, but you can find deals on current models now. Shop a variety of models, including AirPods Max down to $459, saving you $90 for 16% off.
Apple’s September 9, “It’s Glowtime” event is just around the corner, and the rumors are flying about what’s to come. New iPhones, Apple Watches, and AirPods are expected. There’s even word this morning that AirPod Max headphones are getting an upgrade. While we won’t know all the details until the event kicks off, we do know that some AirPods models are currently on sale.
Keep in mind, these aren’t the best prices we’ve ever seen on AirPods, but they’re perfectly fine. We can sense that new AirPods are coming — the AirPods Pro page on Amazon is only showing reseller options— so prices are in flux and that means there’s no guarantee that discounts will remain. If you’re anxious to get a pair of AirPods and don’t want to pay full price, here are the best Apple AirPod deals to shop now.
Best AirPod (2nd gen) deal
Why we like it
The Apple AirPods (2nd gen) are the ideal starter headphones. With a delightfully compact case, they can be tucked into pockets and bags so you always have access on the go. The biggest perk is their seamless connection to iPhones. Unlike other headphones, there’s no button you have to press to get a Bluetooth connection. All you have to do is open the case, and they magically connect within seconds. These don’t feature noise cancellation, but they’re nonetheless fantastic.
Currently, you can find Apple AirPods (2nd gen) on sale at Amazon for $89, saving a sweet $40. It’s about $20 more than their lowest price ever, but the current 31% savings isn’t bad.

Best Apple AirPod (3rd generation) deal
Why we like it
If you want a little more from your AirPods, look to the 3rd generation model. While these still don’t feature active noise cancellation, the audio quality they offer is a significant upgrade from the 2nd gen model. In the AirPods (3rd gen), you’ll receive spatial audio that tracks sound and is even compatible with Dolby Atmos.
You can find them at B&H Photo for $149, knocking $20 off the price for 12% off. This is a rare deal, considering even Amazon is currently selling the AirPods (3rd gen) for full price.
Best AirPods Max deal
Why we like it
The vast market of over-the-ear headphones includes stellar options when it comes to comfort and audio quality, but it’s hard to deny the popularity of Apple’s AirPod Max headphones. Their futuristic and colorful design makes them fun to wear, and like all AirPods, their ease of connectivity is exceptional. But one thing about these headphones — we’ve never loved their $549 price tag.
So if you’re going to buy Apple AirPods Max, buy them on sale. Currently, you can find them for $459 at Amazon, which saves you $90 for 16% off.
