Now on sale for $20 off the usual price, the Apple AirPods with Charging Case are an ideal budget purchase if you’re keen to try out Apple’s wireless earphones. They’re super simple to use, taking seconds to set up and do anything with. A simple double-tap plays your music, while you can always yell ‘Hey Siri’ to get started. They sound good, too, and promise a comfy fit in your ear. You might miss out on wireless charging but these are easily charged up via a Lightning connector so that’s no great loss, and ideal for those counting their pennies.

Got a little more money to play around with? These Apple AirPods come with a Wireless Charging Case that can be simply placed on a Qi-compatible charging mat or charged via the Lightning connector. It’s a far more convenient solution than using a cable and right now, you can enjoy the convenience for only $170, down from $200. Effectively, you’re paying $30 for the charging case but it’s amazing how quickly you get used to wireless charging and begin wondering how you lived without it. Much like the other AirPods, they’re super simple to use and they look good, too. Expect great sound quality as before.

Apple AirPods Pro — $230, was $250

They’re normally priced at $250 but you can get these in the Amazon sale for only $230. That’s a big discount on the latest tech. Unlike the other AirPods, the Apple AirPods Pro offer active noise cancellation so you can block out the sounds around you, focusing on the music or podcasts you’re listening to. They also offer adaptive EQ so the music is automatically tuned to the shape of your ear ensuring a superior listening experience to other AirPods. If your budget can stretch this far, they’re the ultimate earphones from Apple.

AirPods Pro 2 haven’t gone back to full price since Prime Day

The Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C and MagSafe are originally priced at $249, but they've been available with a discount from Amazon since Prime Day in July. They're on sale right now at $190, which isn't as cheap as from the AirPods deals of the shopping event when they were going for $169, but the $59 discount is still a pretty nice score for these premium wireless earbuds. However, the longer this trend goes on, the higher the chance that the streak ends and they go back to their regular price. If you want to take advantage of the savings, we highly recommend pushing through with your purchase as soon as you can.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C and MagSafe
The lowered price of the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C and MagSafe likely remains because of the launch of the Apple AirPods 4 with ANC, which brought active noise cancellation to the entry-level AirPods. The feature was previously only available in the AirPods Pro line. However, because the Apple AirPods Pro 2 come with silicone eartips, they do a superior job at preventing you from hearing unwanted noise. Both models of wireless earbuds offer USB-C charging, but the Apple AirPods Pro 2 feature a force sensor that translates swipes into volume adjustments, and overall better sound quality for listening to music and taking calls.

Now's a fantastic time to buy the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C, as the wireless earbuds are on sale at $59 off from Amazon in its early Prime Big Deal Days. From their original price of $249, they're down to a more affordable $190 in an offer that may no longer be available when the shopping event starts on Oct. 8. If you want to take advantage of this 24% discount, you're going to have to be quick because their price may go back to normal at any moment.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C
The recently announced Apple AirPods 4 is getting a lot of attention as the first model in the series to offer active noise cancellation, but the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C is still our recommendation for Apple fans in our roundup of the best wireless earbuds. Compared to the Apple AirPods 4, the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C feature eartips that really seal in the sound, which makes their ANC more effective. They're also more comfortable to wear, so you'll be able to maximize their battery life of up to six hours with ANC enabled, and up to 30 hours with their charging case.
