Save up to $90: New Apple AirPods may be coming soon, but you can find deals on current models right now. Save $90 on various models, including AirPods Max, starting at $459, a 16% discount.
Apple’s “It’s Glowtime” event on September 9 is just around the corner, and rumors are swirling about the upcoming event. New iPhones, Apple Watches and AirPods are expected to be launched. There was even news this morning that the AirPod Max headphones are getting an upgrade. While we won’t know all the details before the event, we do know that some AirPods models are currently on sale.
Keep in mind, these aren’t the best prices we’ve seen for AirPods, but they’re pretty good. We can sense new AirPods are coming soon—the AirPods Pro page on Amazon only shows reseller options—so prices are constantly changing, which means there’s no guarantee the discounts will stick. If you’re in a hurry to buy 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) Deals
why we like it
Apple AirPods (2nd generation) are the ideal entry-level headphones. Their cases are compact enough to slip into pockets and bags for easy access on the go. The biggest benefit is their seamless connection with the iPhone. Unlike other headphones, you don’t have to press a button to establish a Bluetooth connection. All you have to do is open the case and they magically connect in seconds. These don’t have noise canceling capabilities, but they’re still great.
Currently, you can find Apple AirPods (2nd generation) on Amazon for $89, a savings of $40. That’s about $20 more than the lowest price ever, but 31% off isn’t bad at the moment.

The Best Apple AirPod (3rd Generation) Deals
why we like it
If you want more features from your AirPods, consider the third-generation model. While they still don’t have active noise cancellation, they offer a significant upgrade in audio quality over the second-generation models. With AirPods (3rd generation), you’ll receive spatial audio that tracks sound and is even compatible with Dolby Atmos.
You can get them at B&H Photo for $149, which is $20 off the price and a 12% discount. This is a rare deal considering Amazon is also currently selling the AirPods (3rd Gen) at full price.
AirPods Max Best Deals
why we like it
The vast market of over-ear headphones has excellent options in terms of comfort and sound 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 connectivity is excellent. But one thing about these headphones – we never liked their $549 price tag.
So, if you want to buy Apple AirPods Max, buy them when they are on sale. Currently, you can find them on Amazon for $459, which is a $90 savings and a 16% discount.
