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 $249 for the Apple AirPods Pro 2s to close to $550 for the AirPods Pro Max headphones.
At a Glance: Best Cyber Monday 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 Cyber Monday sales event. (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 today during Amazon’s Cyber Monday sale. Read on for a full guide on scoring AirPods deals (before they’re gone).
Best Cyber Monday Apple AirPods Deals
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).
